Retiring ABC newswoman Barbara Walters has her heart set on a big new goal for the coming year – healing the rift with her only child.
Sources say the 84-year-old TV legend is desperate to steer her 45-year-old daughter Jacqueline Danforth away from substance abuse and reckless behavior – and to make sure she is fit to inherit her $150-million fortune.
"Barbara wants to reconcile with Jackie and live out her retirement having a good relationship with her daughter," revealed a close source.
"She's amassed quite a fortune and will let Jackie know if she doesn't clean herself up for good, her inheritance could be in trouble."
Another pal added: "Barbara's at her wits' end over what to do about her wayward daughter's seeming inability to turn her life around."
