This one is major - - Gloria Vanderbilt. She was the famous lady with Eastern Lockjaw who made jeans when I was a kid. Then as a teenager I learned about her strange and awful childhood, and as an adult I became truly fascinated with her.

The HBO documentary *Nothing Left Unsaid: Gloria Vanderbilt and Anderson Cooper* is extraordinary, please watch it if you can.

FYI my site is being odd again, in terms of sending or not sending emails. I wrote a CDA on Franco Zeffirelli (with many wonderful video clips) earlier today, which was posted on the site but not sent as an email. Please check my website if you're interested.
