Gloria Vanderbilt and son Anderson Cooper leave nothing unsaid in their tell-all book
Never thinking of himself as a Vanderbilt and beset by anxiety, a 12-year-old Cooper started modeling for Ralph Lauren and Calvin Klein.
In all ways, their mother-son relationship was unusual. Twice she took Carter and Anderson to Studio 54. Even though he was just a teen, she freely confided in Cooper about her affair with a married man.
In 1979, Gloria Vanderbilt jeans became a global phenomenon and the heiress was finally truly rich. But her therapist and lawyer defrauded Vanderbilt, leaving her to face financial ruin in the late 1980s.
In 1988, Carter killed himself as his mother watched helplessly in her Upper East Side apartment. The emotionally disheveled 23-year-old ran upstairs, and Vanderbilt found him sitting on a ledge 14 stories above the street.
Vanderbilt begged her son to come inside, but instead Carter "spun off the ledge," hanging onto the balcony.
"After a few seconds, he let go," Cooper writes.
In the wake of the tragedy, another strained undercurrent in the mother-son relationship surfaced.
When he returned to Yale, Cooper left a letter saying "From now on we are partners" and "Don't drink."
Cooper tells her that as "occasional and unpredictable" as her drinking was, he felt like alcohol was a "constant presence" throughout his childhood.
"Your drinking made it difficult to trust you … The person you became (when drunk) scared and angered me," he writes.
Following Carter's death, Cooper feared that his mother would start drinking again. If she did, he writes, "I would have shut myself off from you for my own protection."
Though Cooper "longed for a sense of safety as a teenager," he also courted danger. At 17, he took a solo survival trip alone through Africa that ended after several months with his hospitalization in Kenya with malaria.

More details about the pizza shop at ground zero in the Plantation explosion
Just before noon Saturday, the former restaurant blew after what authorities suspect was a gas leak. Firefighters dug through the former pizza shop’s remains Saturday looking for anyone trapped in the wreckage. They found none.
Businesses immediately next door were destroyed, including a computer education center and a pediatric dental office. The shockwave blew out windows in businesses farther away and knocked fixtures from the walls.
Pizzafire opened in February 2018, according to the company’s Facebook page. It closed less than a year later.
