Mike Wallace, a district attorney-style interviewer who made his subjects squirm for almost four decades on the CBS News institution 60 Minutes, has died. He was 93.
Wallace died peacefully Saturday night, surrounded by family members
at Waveny Care Center in New Canaan, Conn., where he spent the past few
years, CBS News spokesman Kevin Tedesco said.
“It is with tremendous sadness that we mark the passing of Mike Wallace,” said Leslie Moonves,
president and CEO of CBS Corp. “His extraordinary contribution as a
broadcaster is immeasurable, and he has been a force within the
television industry throughout its existence. His loss will be felt by
all of us at CBS.”
