Money, glamour, scandal . . . The story of Little Gloria Vanderbilt.
Little Gloria...Happy at Last is the two-part TV adaptation of Barbara Goldsmith's 1980 best-seller. The film concerns the true-life custody battle over the daughter of millionaire Reggie Vanderbilt (Christopher Plummer) and his "child bride," Gloria Morgan (Lucy Gutteridge). When the over-imbibing Reggie dies, Gloria enjoys the high life as a wealthy widow, leaving her daughter in the care of her sister-in-law, Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney (chillingly portrayed by Angela Lansbury in her TV-movie debut). Gloria's personal income, predicated on the child's inheritance, is severely cut, whereupon Gloria sues the indomitable Vanderbilts for custody of her daughter. We won't tell you the outcome, but we can tell you that "Little Gloria," the ten-year-old focus of the custody fight, grew up to be the same Gloria Vanderbilt who went into the designer jeans business. Little Gloria...Happy at Last was originally telecast October 24 and 25, 1982
Little Gloria... Happy at Last is a 1982 television miniseries directed by Waris Hussein.
It stars Martin Balsam, Bette Davis, Michael Gross, Lucy Gutteridge, John Hillerman, Barnard Hughes, Glynis Johns, Angela Lansbury, Christopher Plummer and Maureen Stapleton. Based on the book by Barbara Goldsmith, it tells the story of the real life Gloria Vanderbilt.
It was nominated for six Emmy Awards, including nominations for both Davis and Lansbury. Gutteridge was also nominated for a Golden Globe Award.
A stellar cast and six Emmy Award nominations distinguished this dramatization of Barbara Goldsmith's best-seller about the bitter 1934 child custody case involving 10-year-old Gloria Vanderbilt, America's famous "poor little rich girl." In addition to nominations as Outstanding Drama Special and for its writer, production designer and costumer, it earned one each for Angela Lansbury as Outstanding Actress (as little Gloria's rich and powerful aunt, Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney) and Bette Davis as Outstanding Supporting Actress (as Alice Gwynne Vanderbilt, the family matriarch). Lansbury, returning to TV acting after 17 years, made her TV-movie debut here, and Michael Gross (as Gloria's lawyer/guardian) replaced Ken Howard.
