Early life

Candice Patricia Bergen was born in Los Angeles, California, on May 9, 1946, at Hollywood Presbyterian Hospital. Frances Bergen (née Westerman), her mother, was a Powers model who was well-known as Frances Westcott in the media. Edgar Bergen, her father, was a ventriloquist, comedian, and actor. Her paternal grandparents were Swedish immigrants who anglicized their surname, which was originally Berggren ("mountain branch").

Bergen was born in Beverly Hills, California, and attended the Harvard-Westlake School. She was often referred to as "Charlie McCarthy's little sister" as a child (referring to her father's actress dummy).

She began appearing on her father's radio show at a young age, and as Candy Bergen on Groucho Marx's quiz show You Bet Your Life in 1958, she appeared on her father's radio program at age 11. When she grew up, she said she wanted to create clothes.

Candice Bergen Career

Career

Bergen made her screen debut in the ensemble film The Group (1966), directed by Sidney Lumet, who knew Bergen's family. The film delicately touched on the subject of lesbianism. The film was a critical and financial success.

Bergen left college to concentrate on her work after the film's success. In The Sand Pebbles (1966) with Steve McQueen, she appeared as Shirley Eckert, an assistant school teacher. The film had been nominated for several Academy Awards and was a huge financial success. It was designed for the twentieth century Fox.

She appeared on an episode of Coronet Blue, whose producer Sam Wanamaker recommended her for a role in Michael Cacoyannis' comedy The Day the Fish Came Out (1967), which was released by Fox. The film was a box-office flop, but Fox nevertheless committed her to a long-term deal.

Anne was cast in Valley of the Dolls but did not appear in the film.

Bergen went to France to appear in Claude Lelouch's romantic drama Live for Life (1967), opposite Yves Montand, who was popular in France but not in the United States.

In 1968, she appeared in The Magus, a Fox mystery film starring Michael Caine and Anthony Quinn that was almost universally mocked on its debut and was yet another major failure.

She appeared in The Adventurers, a 1970 political satire based on a book by Harold Robbins, portraying a woman of dissatisfaction with society. Her salary was $200,000. The film received critical feedback, and although it did respectable work at the box office, it did not help with her future. "It's a move from the 1940s," Bergen called it a "movie out of the 1940s."

In Getting Straight (1970), a counterculture film that received another string of poor reviews but was still profitable, Bergen played the girlfriend of Elliott Gould. "My first experience with democratic, communal filmmaking" was required to begin her career, according to her.

She appeared in the infamous Western Soldier Blue (1970), an overseas success but a failure in its homeland, perhaps due to its unflattering depiction of the US Cavalry. Bergen's fame in Europe culminated in him being named by British voters as the seventh-most popular actor at the British box office in 1971. Bergen appeared in The Hunting Party (1971), a brutal Western that received negative attention and failed at the box office.

Bergen received some accolades for her support in Carnal Knowledge (1971), directed by Mike Nichols. T.R. She was later in the drama that had her lead role in the film T.R. Baskin (1971) and received the best reviews of her career up to that point. "It's time for me to get serious about acting," she referred to the former as the first role "that is really a tool, where I have to act and not just be a piece of decoration."

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.

In The Domino Principle (1977) for Stanley Kramer, another failure, Bergen was reunited with Hackman, and hosted Saturday Night Live. She was the first woman to host the show and the first host to do a second show on Saturday Night Live, and she was the first woman to host the show. When she hosted for the fifth time in 1990, she was also the first woman to join the Five-Timers Club. In its first year, Bergen appeared on The Muppet Show for the first time.

She appeared in the sitcom Murphy Brown, in which she played a tough television reporter, in 1988. The series gave her the opportunity to showcase her little-seen comic skills, and although it was primarily a sitcom, the program did explore important topics. Murphy Brown, a recovering alcoholic, became a single mother and battled breast cancer later this year. 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." Murphy Brown's run on Bergen was extremely fruitful. Bergen was nominated for an Emmy Award seven times and received five. She turned down future nominations for the role after her fifth victory.
