'What an extraordinary life. What an extraordinary mom. And what an incredible woman.'
Born in 1924, Gloria Vanderbilt was the daughter of Reginald Vanderbilt, who was the heir to the Vanderbilt Railroad fortune. Reginald gambled most of the fortune away and died when Gloria was a baby. She was dubbed the"poor little rich girl" by the media, thanks to a very public custody battle between her mother, Gloria Morgan Vanderbilt and Reginald's sister, Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney. Gloria's mother lost the custody battle, and little Gloria was raised by her aunt.
"She was the strongest person I've ever met but she wasn't ever tough, she never developed a thick skin to protect herself from hurt," Cooper continued in his tribute."She wanted to feel it all. She wanted to feel life's pleasures, its pains as well. She trusted too freely, too completely and suffered tremendous losses, but she always pressed on, always worked hard, always believed the best was yet to come.
