    Relationship with Gloria Vanderbilt[edit]

    Zois treated designer Gloria Vanderbilt as a patient from 1973 to 1976. In 1993, Vanderbilt won a nearly $1.7 million judgment against him and her former lawyer, Thomas A. Andrews.[2] Vanderbilt was awarded $1,383,199.41 from Andrews's estate and $97,300 plus interest from Zois.[3] Although Zois declared bankruptcy, courts have repeatedly affirmed that the debt to Vanderbilt is nondischargeable.[4] He also was accused of forging Oona O'Neill's signature on a check, when she was in Switzerland recovering from a cerebral hemorrhage[5]
