Career

Bergen was out of television screens for a few years. With 11 Harrowhouse (1974), she reprised as a support actress in a British heist film, followed by Bite the Bullet (1975). Both films were modest success. She took Faye Dunaway with Sean Connery in 1975 as a good-willed American widow kidnapped in the Moroccan desert. Even at the box office, mixed reviews were given to the film, and it was also broke.

Vice President Dan Quayle mocked fatherhood by raising a child alone and making it just another lifestyle choice."
Quayle's disparaging remarks were later written into the show, with Murphy watching Quayle's address in disbelief at his insensitivity and ignorance of single mothers' lives. A subsequent episode delves into the topic of family values in a diverse range of families. A truckload of potatoes is set to be dropped outside Quayle's house, alluding to an incident in which Quayle erroneously ordered a school child to spell the word "potato" as "potatoe." Bergen complied with at least some of Quayle's comments, saying that although the particular remark was "an ignorant and uninformed position," as a whole, it was "a perfectly correct statement about fathers not being disinterested" and that no one agreed with it more than I did."
