Walters resents nickname NVW VHDV UPV RorKara Woltprc ic hurt u>h?n cho hears people calling her "Baba NVawa," says her job as a coanchor with Harry Reasoner almost drove her to a doctor and wants most to interview the elusive Greta Garbo. Walters, 52, says she loves her fame and tries to take her detractors in stride. But she says she is bothered when she hears the nickname Gilda Radner devised for her Walters imitation on "Saturday Night Live." "What I mind sometimes is when I'm in a crowd, or get in a plane and people say, 4Oh, there's Baba Wawa,"' Walters said in an interview to be published in Sunday's Parade magazine. "And I think, 'Don't they realize I heard? And is this what I siiri? Ic thic u/hnt I'm thnuaht nf7"' Her move from NBC to serve as co-anchor with Harry Reasoner of the ABC Evening News in an unprecedented $5 million contract brought sharp criticism and pressure Walters said was unlike anything she had known. "I remember thinking that I should go to a doctor," she said. "It was so hard. ...And 1 thought then that if I didn't fall apart, I never would." She says she would still like to interview Jacqueline Onassis, Pat Nixon, Yuri Andropov and especially Garbo. "If I interviewed Greta Garbo, I'd retire," she said.
