Gloria Laura Vanderbilt

 

Gloria Laura Vanderbilt

New York fortune heiress

Died June 17 two thousand nineteen

After living a life of luxuriousness

 

She showed us her many great talents

Was beautiful, strode catwalks of fashion

Was squired by Errol Flynn, Marlon Brando

Frank Sinatra, whom in all she fired passion

 

In the 50's her career was an actress

And later in fashion design

She then became famous for inventing

Jeans as a fashion item sign

 

Not only did she work as designer

But wrote books on art, home décor

Fiction and memoirs included

And on these made many fortunes more

 

RIP

Born Feb 20 1924

Died June 17 2019

Cause of death stomach cancer
