Amal Clooney Is Officially the Most Fascinating Person of 2014

Amal Clooney topped Barbara Walters' list of Most Fascinating People of 2014, giving us all one more reason to feel painfully inadequate by comparison.

Find out just how fascinating Amal is in the clip from ABC's Sunday night special, above.
