I thought people knew that before they knew he was gay. It wasn't a big secret. Pretty sure they wrote a book together.

Not surprising that you didn't know.......since you don't have a clue about most things.

I knew AC was Gloria's son. But CNN just showed a 5 minute clip I think originally was from HBO production of Anderson giving a brief history of her mom. Very good. Hopefully, it will be on cnn.com or something for those interested.

Sorry, I don't watch CNN.......and I don't sit and read about people's famous parents and siblings........

I'm not criticizing at all but if you don't read or watch factual sources, why would you be surprised you had no clue and started this thread?

I guess because the Vanderbilt name is pretty big......and I know of Anderson Cooper just from reading stories......and I had never heard or read of the connection.......thought it was interesting how he was connected to the one time richest man in the world.

It would be the same as if I found out that Donald Trump was a Christian.......opcorn:
