Walters was born in Brookline, Massachusetts, the daughter of Dena (née Seletsky) and Louis Edward Walters,
a theatrical booking agent and producer.[3] In 1937, her father opened the first of a famous chain of nightclubs
known as the Latin Quarter; he also was a Broadway producer (he produced the Ziegfeld Follies of 1943). Walters'
elder sister, Jacqueline, was born developmentally disabled[5] and died of ovarian cancer in 1985. Her brother,
Burton, died in 1932 of pneumonia.Walters' parents were Jewish, although she did not have a religious upbringing,
as her father had become an atheist.

Personal life:

Walters has been married three times. As she told The New York Times in 1996: "I'm convinced that you
stay married when the days are bad, only because you really want to be. But I always had an out. I had this
job, and this
life and enough money. I didn't have to fight
the bad days."[8] Her husbands were:
* Robert Henry Katz, a business executive and former Navy lieutenant married on June 20, 1955 at the
Plaza hotel in New York City. The marriage was reportedly annulled in 1958.[16]
* Lee Guber, theatrical producer and theater owner married on December 8, 1963, divorced in 1976. They
have one daughter, Jacqueline Dena Guber (born 1968, adopted same year).
* Merv Adelson, the CEO of Lorimar Television married on May 10, 1986, divorced in 1992.

The lawyer Roy Cohn said that he proposed to Walters the night before her wedding to Lee Guber but Walters
has denied this claim. Her lifelong devotion to Cohn has been explained as gratitude for his help in her adoption of Jacqueline.[17] In her autobiography, she says that Cohn got her father's warrant for failure to appear dismissed.[18]
She dated former U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan in the 1970s[19] and her name was linked to
United States Senator John Warner in the 1990s.
Walters's autobiography Audition revealed that she had an affair in the 1970s with Edward Brooke, then a
married United States Senator from Massachusetts. Walters said that the affair ended to protect both of their
careers from a possible scandal.
