Barbara Walters, 83, fell on a stair and cut her forehead Saturday night. Walters was visiting the British Ambassador's residence in Washington, D.C., at the time and was sent to the hospital.

"Out of an abundance of caution, she went to the hospital to have her cut tended to, have a full examination and remains there for observation," said senior vice president of ABC News Jeffrey W. Schneider. "Barbara is alert (and telling everyone what to do), which we all take as a very positive sign."
