## Transcript

For your late night highlight. Anderson Cooper's Mother apparently isn't shy about her, history. My mom does not like, she has no filter, so she was like, I, I we'd be watching a movie when I was a kid, I remember watching On the Water Front with her and I was like did you know Marlon Brando and she'd be like. Oh, yes. That's a little awkward. Cooper's mother, Gloria Vanderbilt, dated the likes of Frank Sinatra, Clark Gable, and as you heard, Marlon Brando. And Vanderbilt hasn't just been open about her lovers with her son. She later told the world, too. Many of her relationships are highlighted in her memoir, It Seemed Important at the Time: A Romance Memoir.

And in 2004, the designer talked about her relationship with Old Blue Eyes with CBS, saying, he was a lot of fun, very romantic. I never saw him ever involved in violence or anything that actually friends warned me about. Cooper said his mom started, we'll call it hanging out with celebs, when she was. Just a teenager and ultimately dubbed watching old movies with her a trip
