Jackie described the wonderful way her mother explained her adoption to NBC News in a 2002 joint interview with Barbara and Jackie: “She used to say that some moms have babies from their tummies, and some have it from their hearts. You came from my heart, too.
Barbara’s daughter revealed to the publication that she ran away from home in 1984 when she was 15 years old, adding, “I was a runaway. I loved to run. I thought running would solve all my problems.”
Did Barbara Walters’ daughter take care of her?
Barbara Walters’ condition has gotten so bad that she had to postpone her scheduled appearance on The View for a special shoot. Her adoptive daughter, Jacqueline Danforth, has come to assist her because the situation has gotten so bad.
Jackie and Barbara have never shared a close bond.
They had become surprisingly close as her mother’s health deteriorates. They talk about the past and what went wrong and have discovered comfort in one another.
Jackie has struggled with having a well-known mother and is happy that they can finally talk in confidence.
