Emily, a Vassar College graduate, works as a fine art exhibition curator at Glenn Horowitz Bookseller. The couple's private wedding was attended by close friends and family, marking the beginning of their family life together.

After a decade, they divorced in 1955. Gloria wed Sidney Lumet in 1956, concluding in divorce in 1963. Her marriage to Wyatt Cooper in 1963 produced two sons, Carter and Anderson Cooper. 

Wyatt's death in 1978 marked the end of their union. Sadly, Carter passed away in 1988, leaving Anderson to mourn. This complex family history encompasses love, loss, and a blend of relationships over the years.

Relation With Brother, Christopher Stokowski
