Is Anderson Cooper Larry King’s Love Child?
The answer is no, but sexy CNN anchor Anderson Cooper is cast as a guest star on an upcoming episode of Desperate Housewives. In a special episode, Cooper wins yet more fans among America’s women when he plays Larry King’s secretly adopted love child with real-life mother Gloria Vanderbilt. Why does that name ring a bell, you ask?
Gloria Laura Madeleine Sophie Vanderbilt (born February 20, 1924 in New York City, New York) is an American artist, actress, and socialite most noted as an early developer of designer blue jeans. She is a member of the prominent Vanderbilt Family of New York.
She married her fourth husband, author Wyatt Emory Cooper on December 24, 1963. They had two sons, Carter Vanderbilt Cooper, in 1965, and future CNN reporter Anderson Hays Cooper, born in 1967. Wyatt Cooper died in 1978 during open heart surgery in New York City. Carter Cooper committed suicide on July 22, 1988 by jumping from the family’s 14th floor apartment as his mother watched horrified. Mrs. Cooper believed that it was caused by a psychotic episode induced by an allergy to the anti-asthma medical prescription drug Proventil. In an interview on Larry King Live, his brother Anderson told of Carter’s depression, a recently failed relationship, and fear of the future, suggesting that his brother had not dealt well with the stress, but repeated their mother’s story that Carter awoke in a confused stupor before jumping to his death.
Who knew Anderson came from such a fascinating family? Apparently it just wasn’t interesting enough for Desperate Housewives, as they had to juice it up even further. Nonetheless, should be an interesting episode!
