Candice Bergen has made several film and television appearances during the
course of her nearly six-decade career. Bergen does not hesitate to broach
the matter of one's physical appearance, while working in a field where it
has historically been frowned upon.
Before making her feature debut in the movie "The Group," Bergen started
her career as a fashion model and on the cover of Vogue.
She has, however, also worked on a number of noteworthy television
productions, such as Shirley Schmidt in the drama "Boston Legal." Throughout
her career, Bergen has been nominated for several awards, including the
Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for the film "Starting Over" and
the BAFTA Award for Best Actress in a Supporting Role for the film
"Gandhi."
Bergen's portrayal of the title character in the CBS comedy Murphy Brown
may be what makes her most well-known. She won two Golden Globe Awards and
five Primetime Emmy Awards for the production, making it one of her most
popular TV series.
Bergen spoke on how filming "Murphy Brown" affected her life for ten years
in her memoir, A Fine Romance, which was published in 2015.
"For the 10 years I performed on the program, a pitch-black soundstage was
the center of my existence. Even though Murphy Brown was working at a
newsmagazine, staying up to date on current affairs was difficult. I would
travel with the New York Times Book Review back and forth between Los
Angeles and New York without ever reading it. At dinner gatherings, I felt
out of the loop," she remarked.
Bergen continued by expressing how enjoyable she found playing Murphy
Brown. She stated that she didn't want to quit performing the roles she
played in the program.
"However, performing 'Murphy Brown' was tremendously enjoyable; I never
wanted it to stop. It was a joyful, happy feeling when the writing was good.
I had never felt more at ease and self-assured. The role was a gift from
God—it was a beautiful role that perfectly fit me. My friends were very
supportive of me since getting that part and achieving that level of success
was unique for a lady my age, Bergen said.
Bergen is a loving mother to her daughter Chloe Malle in addition to having
a successful acting career. She had a daughter named Chloe with Louis Malle,
who passed away. Five years after Louis' passing, she wed again in 2000,
this time to Marshall Rose.
She achieved a new family milestone in 2020 when she welcomed her beautiful
Arthur Louis Albert as a grandchild.
According to Bergen, Chloe will be a wonderful mother, and she said that
she hopes her daughter has the same sense of delight being a parent as she
did.
In a conversation about her daughter Chloe with Closer Weekly, Candice
said, "I know she'll be a great mom." "The only thing I can wish her is the
immense joy that becoming her mother provided me. The love of my life is
her.
Bergen has always been a devoted mother to Chloe, and this became further
clearer after the publication of her autobiography A Fine Romance.
She discussed her "overwhelming love" for Chloe, including watching her
develop into the lady she is now, in the aforementioned book. In the same
book, Bergen discussed her weight increase and described how, overall, she
felt good about it.
In an extract from The New York Post's Page Six, she stated, "Let me just
come right out and say it: I am fat."
"I've gained 30 pounds in the last 15 years. I eat to live. I'm not
interested in this "eat to live" crap. I can eat like a champion. No fat or
carb is secure, she added.
She also talked about the time she felt criticized for attending an event
and eating what she wanted. Bergen, though, had the most dramatic retort to
the person who gave her a look's judgment: she just didn't care.
I shared bread, olive oil, and chocolate ice cream with my spouse during a
recent dinner gathering. I was horrified by the way a woman standing nearby
glanced at me before responding, "I don't care."
She chooses to consume stuff that makes her happy instead of trying to be
more mindful about her nutrition as most people her age do.
I don't have any authority over diets, she remarked. I want cookies and
anything else that makes my pupils enlarge, she said.
Bergen continued, saying she was unable to undertake what her friends go
through to maintain their diets.
She said that they do this frequently, after substantial meals like a filet
of fish or a piece of steak. She said, "I am not capable of this."
