Ms. Vieira hosted The Beatles Revolution in November 2000. The two-hour ABC special — part musical celebration, part documentary — examined how much of the world in the year 2000 was inspired by ideas the Beatles popularized during the six years they commanded the world's attention and the 30 years that followed. Ms. Vieira joined ABC News in October 1993 as chief correspondent for ABC News' Turning Point, which premiered in March 1994. In 1995, she garnered her sixth Emmy Award for her report, "Inside the Hate Conspiracy: America's Terrorists," an in-depth look at a white supremacists' group who became the most wanted criminals in America.

Ms. Vieira has reported the story of an adoption scam in Oklahoma, which promised hope for childless couples but delivered heartbreak; the heroic story of children successfully battling leukemia; a cautionary tale for the '90s about the rise of heroin use among young people and the middle class; and a feature on the city of Baltimore's first year of mainstreaming disabled students in public schools, which won a 1995 Robert F. Kennedy journalism award. In addition, Ms. Vieira interviewed the "Framingham Eight" — eight women fighting for a second chance after killing partners they say abused them — which won an award from the Foundation of American Women in Radio and Television. Previously, she had spent more than a decade at CBS News, where she garnered five Emmy Awards for her work as a correspondent on the top-ranking news magazines, 60 Minutes and West 57th.

In addition, she won an Emmy for the 60 Minutes report, "Thy Brother's Keeper," a story on Christians who saved Jews during the Holocaust. After two successful seasons, and pregnant with her second child, Ms. Vieira left 60 Minutes.

Prior to joining 60 Minutes, she had been a principal correspondent for CBS News' West 57th since its premiere in August 1985.
