Miley Cyrus and Kim Kardashian came close, but ultimately it was Hillary Clinton who snagged the number one spot on the ABC News special Barbara Walters Presents: The 10 Most Fascinating People of 2013.
"We don't use the word important that's why we say fascinating. They make us look at them," Walters said. When introducing Clinton, Walters stated that she is "a person we have interviewed before and a person we may be interviewing for years to come."
"I haven't made up my mind," Clinton said when asked whether she'll run for president in 2016. "Obviously, I will look carefully at what I think I can do and make that decision sometime next year." Interestingly enough, when the annual special debuted 20 years ago on ABC, Clinton topped the list back then too.
"We didn't even know who she [Jennifer Lawrence] was a few years ago, now she's probably the biggest female star," Walters said of the other famous faces on her list. And on Miley, Barbara added, "She is more important now than she was as Hannah Montana. She had to change or she would be finished, and it was fun for me to see the growth. She has been criticized; people have said her behavior is disgraceful. And we talk to her about that."
Others on the program included the cast of Duck Dynasty, Good Morning America's Robin Roberts, Pope Francis, Britain's Prince George, Edward Snowden and Kanye West accompanied his fiance for one of the slots. Aww, poor Yeezy didn't even get his own spot!
