Cohen, Claudia

Claudia Cohen (1950–2007) was a prominent American journalist, socialite, and television personality who became widely known for her work as a gossip columnist at the New York Post and later as an anchor and contributor on Live with Regis and Kathie Lee and other programs. Born in Englewood, New Jersey, she was admired for her sharp wit, distinctive style, and ability to blend into both the worlds of media and high society. Cohen’s career helped shape the modern landscape of celebrity journalism, and her personal life often intersected with the elite circles of fashion, politics, and entertainment. Beyond her public persona, she was remembered as a devoted mother to her daughter, Samantha, and her legacy endures through philanthropic contributions, including the Claudia Cohen Hall at the University of Pennsylvania, dedicated in her honor.

Claudia's father was Englewood resident Robert Cohen, owner of Hudson News, which became the largest wholesale magazine distributor in the country.
