    HBO’s I’LL BE GONE IN THE DARK Returns With A Special Episode June 22 The Story Syndicate Production Marks One Year Since The Guilty Plea Of Joseph James DeAngelo, The Golden State Killer I’LL BE GONE IN THE DARK returns with a special episode directed by Elizabeth Wolff (HBO’s “I’ll Be Gone in the Dark”) and executive produced by Liz Garbus (HBO’s “I’ll Be Gone in the Dark,” “Who Killed Garrett Phillips?” and “Nothing Left Unsaid: Gloria Vanderbilt & Anderson Cooper). The critically acclaimed six-part documentary series based on the best-selling book of the same name debuted in June 2020 and explores writer Michelle McNamara’s investigation into the dark world of the violent predator she dubbed "The Golden State Killer.” This special episode debuts TUESDAY, JUNE 22 on HBO. Times per country visit Hbocaribbean.com Synopsis: In the summer of 2020, former police officer Joseph James DeAngelo, also known as the Golden State Killer, was sentenced to life in prison for the 50 home-invasion rapes and 13 murders he committed during his reign of terror in the 1970s and ‘80s in California. Many of the survivors and victim’s family members featured in the series reconvened for an emotional public sentencing hearing in August 2020, where they were given the opportunity to speak about their long-held pain and anger through victim impact statements, facing their attacker directly for the first time and bringing a sense of justice and resolution to the case. Writer Michelle McNamara was key to keeping the Golden State Killer case alive and in the public eye for so many years, but passed away in 2016, before she could witness the impact of her relentless determination in seeking justice for the victims.

  • Cooper, Anderson (B
    Cooper, Anderson (b. 1967) by Linda Rapp Encyclopedia Copyright © 2015, glbtq, Inc. Anderson Cooper. Entry Copyright © 2012 glbtq, Inc. Photograph by Flickr Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com user minds-eye. CC-BY- SA 2.0. Award-winning television journalist Anderson Cooper has traveled the globe, reporting from war zones and scenes of natural and man-made disasters, as well as covering stories on political and social issues. Cooper is a ubiquitous presence on American television, for in addition to being a news anchor, he also hosts a talk show. Cooper is the son of heiress and designer Gloria Vanderbilt and her fourth husband, Wyatt Cooper. In his memoir, Dispatches from the Edge (2006), Cooper stated that his parents' "backgrounds could not have been more different." Whereas his mother descends from one of American best-known and wealthiest families, his father was born into a poor farm family in the small town of Quitman, Mississippi. When he was sixteen he moved to the Ninth Ward of New Orleans with his mother and five of his seven siblings. Anderson Cooper wrote that his "father fell in love with New Orleans from the start" and delighted in its culture. After graduating from Francis T. Nicholls High School, however, Wyatt Cooper headed to California to pursue his dream of becoming an actor. Although he found work on both screen and stage, he eventually turned to screenwriting for Twentieth Century Fox. Wyatt Cooper and Vanderbilt married in 1964 and took up residence in a luxurious mansion in New York City. The couple had two sons, Carter, born in 1965, and Anderson, born on June 3, 1967.

See More Categories. In romance what do you seek? As the author amply shows, her can-do attitude was daunted at times by racism, leaving her wondering if she was good enough. While Vanderbilt does a good job of listing some of the famous men she "dated" and married, the dirty details I was hoping for were just not there. Since then there have been many far more important court cases, but at the time it caused quite a stir. Not what I expected. Sign up and get a free eBook! Though Vanderbilt offers a psychological explanation for her constant quest for love, it seems more a perfunctory aside than a major revelation in this paean to the susceptible heart.

    Lunch with Gloria Vanderbilt at Rats in Hamilton, NJ Grounds for Sculpture May 16 2013 By Tammy Duffy ©2013 Photo by David Steele © 2013 I enter the gazebo, filled with glorious orange lanterns. This is a room of intrigue. Engaging paintings stand on easels along the walls. A few people mill about. I see Gloria and she instantly approaches me. Taking my hand ever so gently and looking into my eyes and says, “Hello. And thank you for coming today.” I melt in her hand and I can’t stop looking at her. She is just stunning. I touch her arm and feel the silk of her blouse. It is exquisite-- clearly, spun from the finest worms. It feels as though the fabric will dissolve in my hand. The color and pattern are splendid. Her entire outfit is flawless. Her shoes of gold balanced her in a perfect way. Gloria has an aura about her that is quite mystifying-- a Zen-like quality that is contagious. Immediately she says to me,” What is that fragrance you have on? It’s very lightly applied, yet enough to create a wonderful aroma and feeling. Not too much, just the right amount.” I reply, “It’s a fragrance by Salvatore Ferragamo called F. It’s the men’s fragrance for I never wear women’s perfumes; I find them too floral and unpleasant.” She smiles pleasantly surprised that it is a man’s fragrance. I had carefully selected my outfit that day. I had struggled with what to wear--should I wear one of my designs, something vintage, and something artistic? I chose to wear a crème colored vintage pillbox hat from 1940 and a cream colored, lightly sequined vintage Valentino (Oliver line) open back summer wiggle dress.

  • Rainbow Comes and Goes by Anderson Cooper and Gloria Vanderbilt
    Southfield Public Library Rainbow Comes and Goes by Anderson Cooper and Gloria Vanderbilt Discussion questions used at SPL April 10 & 11, 2018 Discussion Questions taken from the Reading Group Guide(www.readinggroupguides.com): 1. Why do you think it took Anderson and Gloria so long to have this kind of discussion? Does old age provide a kind of urgency for these conversations? Have you had a similar dialogue with a parent or grandparent? 2. Gloria writes, “My first reaction upon reaching ninety-one is surprise.” Have you had the same feeling upon reaching a milestone birthday? Do you think we feel frozen at a certain age? What age would that be for you? 3. Anderson writes that he assumed he wouldn’t live past 50, which is the age at which his father died. Is it hard for you to imagine living past the age at which a parent has died? 4. Great wealth can open many doors, but it can also be a burden. How does Gloria’s case illustrate this? Would you want to be wealthy beyond all imagining? Like Gloria, do you think you would reject the idea of sitting on a beach somewhere, or not? 5. The novelist Mary Gordon wrote, “A fatherless girl thinks all things possible and nothing safe,” a line that has resonated with Gloria throughout her life. Do you think this is true? How does it apply to Gloria’s decisions about romance, career and family? 6. Anderson and Gloria learn in the book that they had each fantasized about being left a letter by their deceased fathers.

But as he stood in Times Square recently, promoting Amazon Prime's adaptation of "Good Omens" (co-written with the late Terry Pratchett), it seemed a tectonic shift had occurred. There he was, surrounded by satanic nuns singing Queen songs (watch "Omens" for context) and massive billboards promoting the show, wondering just how all this happened. The Envelope chatted with the tousled, black-clad, 58-year-old in charge of one of TV's more creatively quirky endeavors to help puzzle it all out.
