HBO And Joel Silver
Want To Make A Series About
Anderson Cooper’s Family!!


I am – Hercules!!

Producer Joel Silver (“Veronica Mars,” “Moonlight”) has optioned Arthur T. Vanderbilt’s book “Fortune’s Children: The Fall of the House of Vanderbilt” with the intention of turning it into an hourlong drama series for HBO.

Variety describes:

The 1989 book, "a portrait gallery of extravagant crazies" in the author's own words, follows the family for more than a century, from the launch of patriarch Cornelius Vanderbilt's first steamboat in 1810. Upon his death in 1877, Vanderbilt left his family $100 million, which was ultimately squandered through his children's and grandchildren's profligate lifestyle.

So far did the family fall that Gloria Vanderbilt’s son, Anderson Cooper, was reduced to hosting ABC’s reality series “The Mole” a few years ago.

Read all of Variety’s story on the matter here.
