Cooper's father and Vanderbilt's husband Wyatt Emory Cooper, who Vanderbilt still believes is the love of her life, died at a young age and Vanderbilt never married again. Anderson was only ten years old when his father died suddenly of heart failure.
CNN anchor Anderson Cooper, known for his detached reportorial style, did something out of character on Tuesday. He got personal. As part of a series of stories called The Person Who Changed My Life, the journalist spoke about his late father, Wyatt Cooper, who died when Anderson Cooper was just 10 years old. He gave me the sense that I had value, that my ideas mattered, Cooper said. Cooper isn't the only CNN personality opening up.
