Timeline

1927

Wyatt Emory Cooper (September 1, 1927 – January 5, 1978) was an American author, screenwriter, and actor.

He was the fourth husband of Vanderbilt family heiress and socialite Gloria Vanderbilt and the father of CNN anchor Anderson Cooper.

Cooper had his childhood in the small town of Pleasant Grove, Mississippi, outside of Quitman, Mississippi, the son of Rixie Jane Annie (née Anderson) and Emmet Debro Cooper.

Cooper was from a poor family with deep Southern roots, and later moved to New Orleans, Louisiana, as a young child.

He graduated from the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA), where he majored in theater arts and began a career in acting.

In his twenties, Cooper moved to New York City to pursue acting.

1953

When Cooper was 26, he appeared on Broadway in the cast of The Strong Are Lonely, a drama that ran for a week at the Broadhurst Theatre in the fall of 1953.

Cooper also wrote stories and plays.

In his thirties, Cooper lived in Los Angeles, attended both UCLA and UC Berkeley, and worked as a screenwriter.

While residing in West Hollywood, then an unincorporated area of Los Angeles County, Cooper lived near Dorothy Parker and her husband Alan Campbell.

1960

Cooper moved to Manhattan in the early 1960s, and worked there as a magazine editor.

They had two sons: Carter Vanderbilt Cooper (1965–1988), who died by suicide, and Anderson Hays Cooper (b. 1967), who is an anchor for CNN.

1967

A close friendship developed, and a year after Parker's death in 1967, Cooper published an incisive and widely read profile in Esquire magazine, titled, "Whatever You Think Dorothy Parker Was Like, She Wasn't".

1975

Cooper wrote in his 1975 memoir, "It is in the family that we learn almost all we ever know of loving. In my sons' youth, their promise, their possibilities, my stake in immortality is invested."
