TAPPER: And finally from us in our "POP CULTURE LEAD" today, a tribute to the artist, actress, author, socialite, and fashion designer Gloria Vanderbilt who died at the age of 95. Her son CNN's Anderson Cooper saying his mother was "an extraordinary woman who loved life and lived it on her own terms. She was 95 years old but ask anyone close to her, and they'd say she was the youngest person they knew. The coolest and most modern." She died this morning the way she wanted to at home surrounded by family and friends. I spoke with my friend and colleague Anderson about his relationship with Vanderbilt in 2016 right after the two published a book they had written together about their lives.</s>ANDERSON COOPER, CNN ANCHOR: You know, I think everybody wants to -- would like to change -- would often like to change the relationship with somebody in their life and particularly with an aging parent or parent with an adult child. And oftentimes you don't do it until it is too late. And so this is really I hope will encourage people to talk to their you know, aging parent and learn about their lives before they're gone.</s>TAPPER: Our condolences go out to Anderson and his family today. May her memory be a blessing. Our coverage on CNN continues right now. Thanks for watching. END
