Gloria Vanderbilt Dies at 95
Fashion designer, heiress and socialite, Gloria Vanderbilt, has passed away at the age of 95. Best known for her extravagant life, she was friends with Diane von Furstenberg and Truman Capote. She also had relationships with Frank Sinatra, Howard Huges and Sidney Lumet. In her life, she dabbled in art, acting, designing and being a style icon.
“Gloria Vanderbilt was an extraordinary woman, who loved life, and lived it on her own terms,” said Vanderbilt’s son, Anderson Cooper. “She was a painter, a writer and designer but also a remarkable mother, wife, and friend… she was 95 years old, but ask anyone close to her, and they’d tell you: She was the youngest person they knew — the coolest and most modern.”
