The 85-year-old resurfaced at an event in NYC a few weeks ago, looking nice.
Gloria has written an erotic novel called "Obsession," which is about a woman who becomes infatuated with her dead husband's affair with a dominatrix.
In the '80s, Gloria sued her psychiatrist for scamming her out of nearly $2 million.

4. This stretched look is getting old. Use lotion, smile and age like your suppose to. Step away from the knife. You'd be prettier.

5. I will never for the life of me figure out why so many Americans trade normal faces for this universal face put out by all plastic surgeons. It doesn't make any of them look younger if that was the intention. It just makes them look like they went in and said make me look like all thos other old people you did the work on.

6. She used to be pretty but now she looks freakish. This is so sad. I can't imagine living every day hating my own face.

8. If you'd been through all the crap Gloria Vanderbuilt's been through you'd look like that too-- one son suicided, she made those hideous jeans, and she was the center of one of the most outrageous child custody disputes ever, Give the the old biddy some space.

9. If this wasn't Anderson Cooper's mother you would have made a snide, disgusting comment about that woman. If this were the mother of someone on FOX News...watch out!

10. Looks like she's already been embalmed. With a camp mommy like her, it's no wonder Anderson Cooper is gay!

11. if she would have stayed AWAY from the knife, she'd have been a classy woman with gorgeous silver streaks. the kind of woman you see on rare occasions and say, "Wow, what an elegant woman!" But alas, her vanity got the best of her and she instead looks--as another poster put it--like she's embalmed.
No wonder Anderson's brother committed suicide!!
