R by Leslie Sleyson^ > Happy at Last

By Barbara Goldiimith 0 Gloria Vanderbilt’s story is as fr.- ’ina*lt^ as any .of the current fictional best sellers. Her _ father, Reginald was d member of the wealthiest w family in America. Her mother, Gloria Morgan. . was a beautuul member of what today would be 03 called the jet set. 4 Gloria Morgan's twin sister, Thelma had many romances with famous men, the most prestigious . 1 being the Duke of Windsor. She introduced the Duke to Wallis Simpson - an introduction she no doubt bitterly regretted. Reggie, who wa»-old enough to be Gloria’s father, died not Jong after their daughter, Gloria, was bom. His infant 4 daughter inherited his fortune and his wife was left nothing. Thik was ^he seed that grew into the brushwood that became one of the country's most famous court cases — the custody suit for 10-year-old Gloria Vanderbilt. Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney, Reggie's sister and little'Gloria's aunt, went to court to obtain custody of the child - and her inheritance, stating that the mother was unfit to raise her. The trial brought out many hidden scandals and was a daily source of juicy gossip. ♦ It is a wonder to anyone who reads this book that Gloria Vanderbilt could have survived to become a well-balanced adult.
