Gloria Vanderbilt has died of cancer at the age of 95, her youngest son, the journalist Anderson Cooper, announced today. It marks the end of a life -- or, rather, of lives -- very well lived. Peggy DrexlerFirst famous for being born very rich -- she was the great-great-granddaughter of railroad tycoon Cornelius Vanderbilt -- and later for being at the center of a bitter custody battle between her mother and a paternal aunt, Vanderbilt made headlines practically from birth. In the 1950s, after a career as a model, she reinvented herself as an actress, artist, and writer; in the 1970s, she began designing clothes, making a name in her own right by embroidering it on denim.
Gloria Vanderbilt opens up to her son Anderson Cooper 03:24But life wasn't always easy for Vanderbilt -- not even close, by her own admission. In fact, what's perhaps most iconic about Vanderbilt was how open she was about her struggles at a time when that sort of thing was relatively unheard of from women, if they were heard from at all. She was, she wrote in her memoirs, a sad child of an alcoholic dad and negligent teen mom.
