A somber Anderson Cooper paid his final respects to his mother, Gloria Vanderbilt, Tuesday in NYC.
The CNN anchor looked on as pallbearers loaded his legendary mother’s casket into the hearse before she was laid to rest at a private family cemetery in Staten Island. The plan had been set in motion — as she and Anderson revealed in the HBO documentary “Nothing Left Unsaid” — for her to be buried with her husband, Wyatt Cooper, and next to her son, Carter Cooper, who died in 1988 at the age of 23.
