52. She Had to Get A Job
Morgan Vanderbilt’s CV probably included experience as a socialite and...well, that was about it. Although she had been a movie extra oh so many years ago. That must be good for something? The international news maliciously suggested she could work as “a movie actress or a dancing teacher.” In the end, Morgan Vanderbilt, along with her twin sister, Thelma, started a dress company, did an ad for Pond’s cream, and even sold puppets.
53. She Lived A Double Life
Gloria Morgan Vanderbilt spent the last years of her life in both New York City and Los Angeles. In both cities she lived with her twin sister Thelma. Together, the sisters wrote a memoir called Double Exposure: A Twin Autobiography. Of the book, critics say the two sisters “face the future with gallantry, humor, and without rancor or bitterness over the past.” Not easy after a life such as theirs.
