Anderson Hays Cooper (born June 3, 1967)[1]
is an American journalist, television personality, and author. He is the
primary anchor of the CNN news show Anderson Cooper 360°. The program
is usually broadcast live from a New York City studio; however, Cooper often
broadcasts live from CNN's studios in Washington, D.C., or on location for
breaking news stories. In addition, he is a correspondent for 60 Minutes.
From September 2011 to May 2013, he also served as host of his own eponymous syndicated daytime talk show, Anderson Live.[2]
Cooper has two older half-brothers, Leopold Stanislaus "Stan" Stokowski (b. 1950), and Christopher Stokowski (b. 1952), from Gloria Vanderbilt's ten-year marriage to the conductor Leopold Stokowski.[34]
He said to Oprah Winfrey—while promoting his book—that he had suffered from dyslexia as a child.[35] In August 2007, he confirmed his "mild dyslexia" on The Tonight Show to Jay Leno, who also has dyslexia.
Cooper is openly gay; according to The New York Times, he is "the most prominent openly gay journalist on American television."[36] For years, Cooper avoided discussing his private life in interviews. On July 2, 2012, however, he gave Andrew Sullivan permission to publish an email that stated, in part:
I've begun to consider whether the unintended outcomes of maintaining my privacy outweigh personal and professional principle. It's become clear to me that by remaining silent on certain aspects of my personal life for so long, I have given some the mistaken impression that I am trying to hide something—something that makes me uncomfortable, ashamed or even afraid. This is distressing because it is simply not true. ... The fact is, I'm gay, always have been, always will be, and I couldn't be any more happy, comfortable with myself, and proud.[37]

In 2014, Cooper and his partner purchased Rye House, a historic estate in Connecticut.[38] Apple CEO Tim Cook turned to Cooper for advice before he subsequently made the decision to publicly come out as gay.[39]
Also in 2014, Cooper appeared in Henry Louis Gates' Finding Your Roots, where he learned of an ancestor, Burwell Boykin, who was a slave owner from the Southern United States.[40][41]
