'She was a die-hard romantic with a will of iron.' DHWendyGoodman on what she knew about Gloria Vanderbilt
Gloria Vanderbilt, 10 Gracie Square, New York, May 26, 1956. Photo: Richard Avedon/© The Richard Avedon Foundation The first time I met Gloria Vanderbilt, I was about 6. I started storing away memories of her then when my family went to the fantastical Christmas parties she hosted each year, first at 10 Gracie Square when she was married to Sidney Lumet, and then later in a townhouse at 45 East 67th Street when she was married to Wyatt Cooper.
That brief scene left an impression on me that lay dormant, unstirred for years. One day, during lunch with my mother sometime in early 2003, at Gloria’s apartment, lightning struck again, this time in the form of a framed black-and-white photograph leaning against the wall near where I was sitting.
Our routine for the months of research I did when I was writing The World of Gloria Vanderbilt went like this: I would go to her apartment on Beekman Place at ten every morning. Gloria would greet me at the front door ready to work. She would often be wearing her painting smock, a sign that she had already been down to the studio, one floor below.
