CIA protege Anderson Cooper, known for hosting a diluted "news" show, is the son of Gloria Vanderbilt. Ha! I had no idea.

    he had a short lived try as a host to a daytime TV show ala Oprah and the only time I saw it was the time he interviewed his mother. I didn't realize till almost the end that his mother was THE Gloria Vanderbilt.

      Is there another Gloria Vanderbuilt? What suprises me, is that this lady is still apparently selling those funky 80's jeans after all these years!
      (oops, Vanderbilt is not involved in the fashion or home furnishings business, and is in no way affiliated with the clothing and accessories company that uses her name.)

      I found this * even more interesting...

      *Her second marriage, to conductor Leopold Stokowski in April 1945, produced two sons, Leopold Stanislaus "Stan" Stokowski, born August 22, 1950 and Christopher Stokowski, born January 31, 1952; they divorced in October 1955.

      *On August 28, 1956, she married director Sidney Lumet; they divorced in August 1963.

      She married her fourth husband, author Wyatt Emory Cooper on December 24, 1963. They had two sons: Carter Vanderbilt Cooper (born January 27, 1965 - July 22, 1988) and CNN news anchor Anderson Cooper (born June 3, 1967). Wyatt Cooper died in 1978 during open heart surgery in New York City. Carter Cooper committed suicide at the age of 23 by jumping from the family's 14th floor apartment as his mother tried in vain to stop him. Vanderbilt believed that it was caused by a psychotic episode induced by an allergy to the anti-asthma medical prescription drug Proventil.

      Hey...maybe Anderson Cooper can talk TC out of the closet...:p (I'm sure he has a couch)
