An American artist, actress, fashion designer, heiress, and socialite. She was a member of the Vanderbilt family of New York and the mother of CNN television anchor, the great Anderson Cooper.
In the1970s, Vanderbilt launched a line of fashions, perfumes, and home goods bearing her name. She was particularly noted as an early developer of designer blue jeans.
Beautiful and elegant... mother of four... will be dearly missed by her family and fans.
