Thank you so much - you make the difference 🖤

Well done !!!

I remember her appearing in her ads for her signature black jeans.

❤ lovely, thank you 🙏! I do remember watching a documentary featuring Gloria Vanderbilt quite a few years back. She was herself in this documentary, age about (my guess) around 70-75, and being interviewed about her former business endeavors. Jeans, perfumes, and a million other endeavors. As I remember it, she did quite well, but in a somewhat inconsistent way; she came across as someone who struggled quite a bit to stay independent & keep providing for herself and her younger kids. Wish I could remember more & about the context where I saw this. Edit: ✍️ that documentary was not exactly recently made. Let’s put it that way. It was part of some sort of double feature which also focused on Anderson Cooper & his success. Still wish I could find it & rewatch it, though.

Great video!

Anderson cooper!? Wow that was a surprise! Great video!

Her designs specifically her jeans were very famous and expensive ( but were made for women) may she rest in peace thanks for your work 🙋

So beautiful I hope she found peace and serenity in the end..

Love your history shows! Ladies really need to evaluate the judgement of prospective husband. Poor judgement will wreck a marriage and family, as these stories show. Thanks, sir! History often repeats itself!

It doesn't matter whether or not Anderson Cooper needs the money! The issue is whether or not he's entitled! Geez man!

Not sure about the inheritance except that it was only $1.5 million. The oldest son, Leopold, owned landscaping companies and probably inherited a lot from his father. He had a good relationship with Gloria. The other son, Christopher, was estranged and is known to be a recluse. Again, he probably has plenty of money from his father. My guess is that they didn't need her inheritance and there wasn't much left. The Vanderbilt fortunes had been squandered away throughout the generations.

@@WhoWho569with the cost of living today 1.5 million would not last you your lifetime. Especially if it’s inherited when you’re young. If you’re older then yes. It’s a good amount. 1.5 million sounds like a lot but after inheritance tax and who knows what else the government feels they’re owed, you’re left with very little. Not to mention where you live and cost of living there. And of course inflation over the years.

What about her first 2 sons???? What happened to them? Why didn't she include them in her estate?? Why were they not well known about?? I never even knew she had 2 older children.

Anderson Cooper's a Vanderbilt?

I remember seeing Gloria Vanderbilt jeans and other clothes at Costco, JCPenney, and macys

She had a lifetime of loss after loss. Money doesn't buy happiness or love no matter how hard they try.

Well, that's daddy issues for you, can't really cast the stone on her since she had a pretty crap childhood, in a want for a father who was nothing but a no-good drunkard and gambler.

She was a strong & talented woman😮

One little correction Gloria's estate was inherited by her sons Stan Stokowski and Anderson Cooper. Her son Christopher Stokowski had been estranged from his family since about the 1970s.

She was beautiful. I bough a pair of Gloria Vanderbilt jeans just a few years ago and loved them.

Her 2 oldest son were estranged from her their choice and prefer to stay out of public eye

She allegedly testified against her mother after big Gloria decided to fire little Gloria's nurse, who was like a mother to her. Big Gloria brought it on herself. Little Gloria sounded like the most love-starved child in the world.

Andrew Carnegie was wise to not leave all his money to his wife and daughter. He left them the houses, an endowment, but that was it. His descendants all have regular jobs.

I had no idea that Anderson cooper was Gloria’s son!!!

That was cold to cut her mother off.

First a victim, then a confused young woman and alas a responsible adult. Chance was against her but she rose above. A happy ending

My mom met Gloria in 1978, she wanted my mom to model for her since she was tall and very skinny. But my mom didn’t have her green card yet. I wish she modeled for her, her life would’ve been better IMO

Very fine.

❤❤❤

Gloria is not in.the Vanderbilt mausoleum but out in the grass with her husband Cooper and son..

Anderson Cooper is a Vanderbilt iconic!

❤❤❤❤

I often bought her jeans, but none fit the same, being made in different countries. Will never buy her jeans or anything else with her name again.

That would be Anderson Cooper cnn newsreader. What about the other 2 children?

Aunt Gertrude looks a bit off to me.

why is Gladys Vanderbilt offspring so overlooked, didn't they also inherit a huge amount of money from her mother ( Gladys Vanderbilt was the aunt of Gloria, sister of Gloria's father) Gladys was the one who inherited the Breakers estate, arguably the second most luxurious Vanderbilt mansion

Gloria was a chip off the old block.

You're wrong about her being buried. She is in that cemetery only the Vanderbilt men is buried in the vault

We have to thank her for giving us Anderson Cooper

WFC?

Reggie did NOT leave it all to his daughters. He had squandered his wealth. but, he had a trust that was set up to give him the earnings. He could not touch the principal. That trust went to his 2 daughters as he had no sons. shortly before the big court case, Reggies mother, Alice died and left an inheritance for Reggies 2 orphaned daughters. The family did not want Gloria Sr to squander that money. And Gertrude had been caring for little Gloria while mama Gloria was off in Europe. The argument was - why should she continue to collect the increase from little Glorias trust while Aunt Gerturde was the one providing for her? Also, the nanny who was raising little Gloria told Aunt Gertrude all about the neglect and immoral activities of mama Gloria. If you want the real story read the book by Arthur Vanderbilt. Also, her eldest son did inherit from Gloria. This has so many errors.
