This week Lynn tells us about the remarkable life of Gloria Vanderbilt. From a tumultuous childhood and Hollywood glamour to artistic pursuits and motherhood, her journey was as complex as it was fascinating. A socialite, artist, and designer, she defied expectations and embraced life on her own terms. Her legacy lives on through her son, Anderson Cooper, and her impact on art and fashion.
