Edelstein "Little Glorif... Happy at Last" chronicles one Of the most bitterly foUght custody battles of its day -- the 1934 legal tug-of-war over "little" Gloria Vanderbilt between her mother and aunt. The NBC mini-series, which airs Oct. 24 and 25, is based on Barbara Goldsmith's best-selling book and fea­ tures an all-star cast including Martin Balsam, Bette Davis, Jennifer Dundas (as Little Gloria), Lucy Guttecidge, John Hillerman, Barnard Hughes, Glynis Johns, Angela Lans- bury. Christopher Plummer and Maureen Stapletpn. For several members of the cast -- Plummer, Miss Lansbury, Miss Johns -- the assignment was particularly challenging because they were social acquaintances of Gloria Vanderbilt, who would overcome her child trauma and as an adult would become a successful designer. "We hope she'll say hello to us next time we see her," said Plummer. Miss Lansbury (Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney, the aunt) recalled that as a child growing up in England, she was aware of the celebrated court case, which some tabloids played up as the "crime of the century." "I can remember that the newspapers carried very lurid details of accounts of the trial and also large photographs. We were very affected by it. Everything that happened across the ocean in America was very romantic and excit­ ing to us. So when our families would discuss these events, children got a pretty good idea of what a 'poor little rich girl'was." The trial allowed average citizens to glimpse for the first time what really went on behind closed doors of High Society -- and what the case revealed were items never previously reported in newspaper's society pages. "There's a line in the piece that says 'If ever America had a royal family, it was the Vanderbilts. This is a story about a royal family laid bare," said producer Edgar J. Scherick. But the impact of the case seems to be lost on today's generation, which is all the more reason for the mini-series, said Plummer, who plays Reginald Vanderbilt, the disso­ lute playboy-husband of Gloria Morgan Vanderbilt (Lucy Gutteridge) and father of "Little Gloria." "It's important to have on the American TV screen a slice of social history. Too few of our youth today know anything about America's past, which is a very great shame. They know a lot about England's past because we see a lot of it on television. It's about time we saw a slice of American social history," said Plummer, who was flown by private helicopter from Broadway where he was per­ forming in "Othello" to tape segments of "Little Gloria," ©f902 Com pu log
