“The World of Gloria Vanderbilt” (Harry Abrams, © 2010)
Wyatt Cooper on Gloria Vanderbilt
" She moves on strange planes, that girl; she is a creature of some other mystery not altogether of this world, part wood nymph, part Earth Mother, and part American Beauty rose. She has the freshness of Snow White and the glamour of the Wicked Queen. She is as exotic as a unicorn and as subtle as an Egyptian temple cat. She is as crisp as gingham, as sensuous as satin, and as inscrutable as velvet. She is also as tentative as a doe in the forest, as delicate as a spider’s web, as glittering as frost on a windowpane, and as pliant as a willow….If she has not made of herself a living work of art, she’s come damned close, or as close as anybody I’d ever want to meet.”
