My Take
What moves me about Gloria Vanderbilt is that she refused to be a footnote to her own fortune. She entered public life at ten as the poor little rich girl of a brutal custody trial, and could easily have spent ninety-five years as a cautionary tale. Instead she kept reinventing herself: actress, painter, novelist, the designer who put her name on millions of jeans, turning an inherited surname into something she actually earned. I find her late-life candor about grief and loss especially admirable. To me she is proof that resilience, not money, was the real Vanderbilt inheritance.
