Barbara Walters looked back on the time she spent with Fidel Castro in a new video following the former Cuban leader’s death.
“For a man who likes to talk, he does very few interviews,” Walters said in an interview with ABC News. “When he finally sat down it was, for me, memorable and to a large degree because we crossed the Bay of Pigs together.” This was the first time an American had crossed the infamous bay since the failed US-backed invasion of Cuba in 1961.
“The feeling is that he’s much bigger than he actually is,” Walters continued.
