Gloria Vanderbilt gave women some stylish jeans and gave the rest of us Anderson Cooper.

Cooper announced yesterday that his mom had died at the age of 95 years old.

Cooper says that she kept her class to the end: “When the doctor told her she had [very advanced stomach] cancer, she was silent for a while. And then said, ‘Well, it’s like that old song, “Show Me the Way to Get Out of This World.” Because that’s where everything is,’ ” her son Anderson Cooper recalled in his CNN tribute. “She was ready to go.”

Heir to a vast fortune, she became the prize in a long and bitter court battle at age 10, as her paternal aunt eventually won custody from her mother — then fired the nanny who was the only adult the little girl had ever really bonded with.

She’d go on to four marriages, the first at 17, and a host of Hollywood dalliances, dating the likes of Errol Flynn, Marlon Brando, Gene Kelly and Frank Sinatra.

Yet Vanderbilt also found her own business success, building a $100 million fashion empire, starting with her designer jeans and iconic swan logo.

Our thoughts go out to Cooper as he mourns the death of his mom.
