Christopher

Submitted by GlenJay on Fri, 06/21/2019 - 8:15am.

Among the dramas of Gloria Vanderbilt's almost unbelievably dramatic life, she was estranged from her son Christopher Stokowski for nearly four decades. There was a reported but unpublicized reconciliation after Anderson Cooper's documentary on his mother, which had little to say about Christopher, was shown in 2016.

I've never seen a photo of Gloria with all four of her sons together.
