Next month will see the release of a new feature-length documentary telling the story of the iconic ABC News personality, Barbara Walters.

What They’re Saying:

Mike Kelley, head of ABC News Studios: “As more people seek out connection and companionship online, anonymous scammers are lurking to take advantage. Scams have become a key piece of the evolving landscape of true crime content, and ABC News Studios is proud to lead the way, telling stories from the victims’ point of view at the heart of the narrative. We brought viewers inside the scam with [the] hit series Scamanda, our most-streamed series launch ever, and now Hey Beautiful: Anatomy of a Romance Scam, a surprising story with plenty of twists and turns."
Ethan Goldman, founder and CEO of Anchor Entertainment: “Online scammers stole a record $16.6 billion in 2024, marking a staggering 33% rise from the previous year, according to a recent FBI report. With the rapid rise of AI and deepfake technology, these scammers are using increasingly sophisticated tactics to mask their identities. These brave women’s stories spotlight how anyone can be drawn into a scam that looks and feels all too real."
