Would love to see a Vanderbilts documentary narrated by and featuring Anderson Cooper. He's really such an engaging speaker.

Drew appears to be a real down to earth person. She's very likeable.

You have to admire Anderson cooper . He truly is a wonderful person! Happy for him that he is a Dad today ! Congratulations 🎈

I love that a Vanderbilt biography was written by a family member, and that family member is Anderson Cooper. One of America's greatest journalists. This interview is so interesting because you assume that if you were born and Barrymore or a Vanderbilt they came from money, but both Drew and Andre talk about having to make their own way.

Anderson Cooper is such an intelligent, humble and decent man. He is the epitome of class.

I love Anderson Cooper! He’s so classy and everything. ❤️

[villanessa]

I love how introverted he is. I love shy people ❤️

[tjpm]

I saw his first documentary and I fell in love with it. How his mother saved all these precious memories, photos, letters. That’s a lovely legacy to keep.

It's truly amazing how much money & American history there is between these two. Drew & Anderson seem like really nice, genuine, friendly big hearted people, which is amazing when you know where they came from & their family history!!

Anderson Cooper is so honest and sincere great guy .

[SBUTLER]

Sat down with Anderson’s book to read and just picked up my phone and this interview was on! Crazy….love you both!

Fun Fact: Vanderbilt University it was named in honor of Cornelius Vanderbilt who provided the school its initial $1-million endowment. He was Anderson Cooper's

Lovely show. I am impressed with both you and Mr Cooper. For me humility is a spiritual ideal. I have much I could learn in this regard alone from both of you. You both transcend social classes, and have class and lovely views of the world. God bless you Drew, I had rough beginnings too and truly admire your strength, courage, compassion, and lovely humility.

[pamelafolger]

Anderson seems like he is a Patient and Loving Father. 😊

[darrenmiller]

As is usual, lovely show Drew, we love you!

[kboyer]

Anderson, I loved your mom and watching her being interviewed. What a lovely, funny, eccentric woman.

[tylerkochman]

I had, years ago, wondered how Drew had felt about all the pressure and assumptions that came with her family name. Imagined it could not have been easy.

[lionessdez]

The end 😂😂😂 “have you ever not been hott?” So true 🤣💯

[peggygibbons]

That's so sad, Anderson saying nobody even LOOKED at him when he was a waiter. My Mom was a waitress & she raised me & my brother literally on $2.00 an hour plus tips and she usually used her tips to bring us home supper because she had to BUY the food to take home to her kids. Needless to say, I over tip now, to an astronomical degree. I had no IDEA that Anderson had a Mississippi side but I have loved watching him WAY before he was so famous because he was so REAL!!

Loved that documentary- watched it more than once. Astounding life stories
