Dear Anderson,

Thank you so much for publicly "coming out." It is truly inspirational and highly respectable. You have given new confidence to this 42-year-old. You are one gay "celebrity" I can completely relate to and identify with.

Take care,
Jeff

The strength and honesty with which your Mother relayed tradgedies in her life, especially in regards to your brother was ironically enough very uplifting for me. She is as you know a very remarkable woman to have survived the ultimate sorrow of losing a child and yet still viewing life with optimistic enthusiasm and a warm heart. I know that you must receive comments similar to these all the time but hope that this message too could be relayed to her and yourself. Each life has its own obstacle course and yet when we are fortunate enough to have shared someone else s pain it helps us to learn and bear our own load. Your Mom is remarkable role model, not just for her son, but for a world that nowadays seems to sorely lack one. Please thank her for her candor, her heart, and sincerity in sharing so many private moments. All the best!

Was at the taping if this show and have to say everyone was genuine and amazingly wonderful! Anderson is such a great guy. Watching Scarlett Johannson and Matt Damoninteract together and with us in the audience, you could tell they were having a good time. Thomas Haden Church and Cameron Crowe and the kids from the movie were wonderful also. Thanks to the show producers for taking us to a private showing of We Bought A Zoo. Really enjoyed that. Benjamin Mee was sitting right in front of us and was very kind. I wish we would have asked how we could make a charitable contribution to his real life park. Maybe someone can post it here.

We were at this airing and attended movie, I recommend the movie to everyone, very enjoyable. I didn't realize that the zoo is located in England until I did some research on the internet. Definitely check it out. Matt and Scarlett are both a class act. Anderson great job on this segment. Happy holidays to the crew at the Anderson Cooper show. Best regards,
