'Gloria Vanderbilt was an extraordinary woman who loved life and lived it on her own terms,' her son Anderson Cooper said Monday morning on CNN.
Cooper isn't exaggerating when he says this. While best known as a fashion designer during the 1970s and 1980s, Vanderbilt lived an exceptionally eventful and full life by virtually any standard. The subject of a high-profile custody battle of her early years, she was an actor on stage and television during the 1950s. She went on to essentially invent the concept of designer jeans in the 1970s.
In subsequent years, she expanded her fashion empire to include a wider variety of clothing items, as well as home decor and beauty. Though she was born into one of New York's most prominent wealthy families, she became extremely successful in her own right. Her personal life was full of dramatic highs and lows over the years. She was married four times, along the way reputed to have had affairs with Frank Sinatra and Marlon Brando. She was a close friend of Truman Capote, and has long been rumored to have been the inspiration for the iconic character of Holly Golightly from"Gloria Vanderbilt was an extraordinary woman who loved life and lived it on her own terms," her son, Anderson Cooper, said Monday.
