Gloria Vanderbilt died Sunday, June 16 at the age of 95, but the news was not released until Monday.
She was 95 years old, but it is the privilege of the figures of the fashion or the cinema, these are the features of her twenty years that the world will keep in memory: the cold beauty of Gloria Vanderbilt, her black hair without length, her porcelain complexion.
Gloria Vanderbilt was famous before her age and for the wrong reasons: she is the heiress of the wealthy Baron of the American Railways Cornelius Vanderbilt, who dies of alcoholism while she has not yet two years. His mother and aunt will tear each other up for the care of the child. When she was only ten years old, the world discovered Little Gloria's tears in the United States Supreme Court, among her twelve bodyguards.
Gloria Vanderbilt finally grew up in France. Young heiress, tragic heroine, she conquers a more glorious notoriety with the jeans or perfumes that bear her name, adorned with a swan logo. The one who considered herself a nun continues to make headlines with her many and sparkling love stories: four weddings and Hollywood adventures, in every sense of the word: Franck Sinatra, Gene Kelly, Marlon Brando ...
But there are personalities who, like Edith Piaf, even when they succeed, are tirelessly overtaken by misfortune. Gloria Vanderbilt will see before her eyes, unable to prevent it, her 23-year-old son jumping through the window of the 14th floor of a New York building. After thinking about following her, she explained that she decided to live for her other children.
One of his sons, now a CNN journalist, revealed his death to the general public with a worldwide tribute to him.
