Last year at 75 Candice did a Sunday Morning interview with Jane Pauley. She said this about her life and it brought me to tears..."I couldn't have asked for anything more." How many of us can say that? ❤🎉

[@HolgerRuneFan]

She has always been drop dead gorgeous and still is. Have always loved her.

[@mysticsuzi]

Isn't she just divine? Loved every minute of her.

[@fernsuess5253]

Candice Bergen is brilliant and real and grateful and witty; these are her shining qualities, ones to admire at any age.

[@nl8989]

Grateful 🤔 Or Graceful 😊 Both I Swear WORKS SHE'S A AMAZING LADY !!!!! WHATTA BROAD !!!! A DAME !!!! A WONDER 🤗😎🎙️🌌🌹💖☮️☯️🌈🌟 A TREASURE🌟☯️🌈🌹🌌💖🌌🌈🌟💝💌

[@classicalaid1]

I still remember as a child Candice's famous father, Edgar Bergen. No one is mentioning him. He was far more famous than she is.

[@maryvhuse1721]

Candice Bergen is such a marvelous treasure.

[@victoriagarzione4360]

Saw her in Book Club and I forgot how funny of a person Candice is. She is amazing. She is so down to earth

[@laerteaga]

Same here... she was so sweet

[@pappyr]

Candice is amazing; killer eye contact (those hypnotic eyes). And perfect composure. The cool antithesis of the 'dumb blonde'. Wow!! And a superb humorist (level above commedienne).

[@stevenash4408]

Candice is the epitome of Class.

[@nl8989]

Yep High heels Crisp Lines along the front of the trouser legs Sparkle Shine Elegance Easy Style and Grace Fluid Charm She's A Wonder ❤❤❤❤

[@krisw.7191]

I love Candice Bergen. She's gorgeous - regardless of a few extra pounds (at last! She can relax and eat!), I loved her book, and I love her frankness. I also really liked the fictional character of Murphy Brown. But mostly I'm happy that she's found love not once but twice, and is enjoying herself so much. She deserves it. We all do.

[@elizabethshepard.5393]

Agreed on Murphy Brown. " I said I'd die if I was caught in a dickie! And here I am...dead in a dickie"😅😅😂

[@SM-gl8yo]

What a marvelous visit. Thank you.

[@Tradebear]

"the pounds". Stop doing this to women. Really. She looks healthy and happy.

[@angelacarleton9575]

If you notice they NEVER ask or mentioned anything about "the pounds" which is irritating to me too. She is still a beautiful women - despite everyone expecting actress to look young and thin forever? Give me a break!

[@patricemarie2960]

Always was a pretty, classy lady! ....

[@HudsonWI2057]

Thanks Candice it was so fun listening to you

[@keepamericayisraelgreat5708]

Amazing interview, so uplifting, so all inspiring and emotional at times Thank you 92Y and Candice Bergen for sharing your life with us all, I am happy I don't think of those Actors/Stars and Stage Actors from day to day that have passed on I seem to get very moved over it in a sad way. Thanks again

[@mistyvaughn3804]

swoon. love this woman... simply gorgeous as always.

[@brendadrew834]

So great to hear what Candice has to say! Never a dull moment with her wonderful warmth and sense of humor! One of my favorite celebrities/actors! Have one book on her but will be buying this book "A Fine Romance"! Used to live on East 91rst when I was young and single but didn't know about the Y being right around the corner on 92nd St. Had I known about it, I would have gone there to these great interviews, thank you!

[@jonienglish7065]

Such an interesting woman who has lived life to the fullest. Cudos to her.

[@n.t.6609]

48:40 That reminds me of an interview I read once where Laura Linney was asked about aging and she said she had very little patience for people who complained about it because she felt offended on behalf of all her friends who did not get that chance. She said she wanted to "slap some sense into them" :) That interview completely shifted my view on the subject.

Babe-hood comes and goes... delightful! Thanks for keeping me humble Lord. Love this Candice Bergen with Harry Smith interview - thank you.

[@KJ-xc6qs]

I love her candor.

[@newtonduck1]

I read her first book when I was in high school and Murphy Brown was on the air. I fell in love with her. Still am. Candice Bergen is a slight.

[@MusicMan-dv7jg]

She doesnt look overweight to me. She looms normal.

[@katherenewedic8076]

Thank God! A real woman

[@pam0626]

It’s so sad that this beautiful, accomplished, wise woman feels that she needs to apologize for her weight. Seems that those impossible beauty standards follow us to the grave. Additionally, it sounds like Harry Shearer did zero prep for this talk.

[@dp4008]

Truly enjoyed this wonderful interview so relaxing and great conversations.

[@waterwrites]

Loved the simple candor!

[@kathleenhannon7068]

Beautiful Candace, love this gal! Great interview Harry!

[@elzbietamayers1878]

Candece Bergen was and still is one of the most beautiful women in Hollywood for the last half a century. Also pure class.

[@timmccaffrey1326]

What's this with the weight thing?...the woman is getting old....she was stunning in her day and she still looks good for her age.

[@rah62]

Age does not necessitate weight gain.

[@shirsch7048]

I just saw an episode of "What’s My Line", with her and her father; she used a French accent and you could tell then that she was a great up and coming actress.

[@CherylAnderson-qs4iq]

This popped up on my feed, & I've always admired her, though I didn't watch Murphy Brown. It's just that I've never been a fan of sit-coms except for a few, & still haven't watched all of those...yet. This was recorded several years ago, but here, she still looks & sounds great. She probably still does.

[@vapalaca]

Became almost a victim of the Manson family if she would have stayed at Cielo Drive. Glad she moved and tragic that Sharon Tate moved in.

[@heyuthinkusuck4474]

i wonder if Candice Bergen's relationship with her father Edgar Bergen was overshadowed by his popular ventriloquist dummy Charlie McCarthy? Personally i think Candice Bergen is a generous person for allowing us insight into her life personal as well as professional. Thank you Candice Bergen.Thank you Harry Smith. Cheers

[@hairyscotman]

she's GORGEOUS...to this day....what is it about people expecting everyone to look 19? how stupid are people? oh, wait, yeah....I get it....

[@patcampbell2664]

She is lovely

[@IngeliseEaston]

Great actress!

[@thereseember2800]

(Acting w/ a baby): “It was like this little grenade you were carrying around”. Lol!

[@stuartkarp5077]

Beautiful actress...icon....you have to love,her....🙏🏼🙏🏼🕊️🕊️👍💯👍

[@sammyrnaj]

Beauty, class & enigma.

[@GoVoteDemocracy]

Great interview on both parts!

[@douglashoffjr1362]

Candice is so charming I could listen to her all day. Love her. I'm 3 days older than her.

[@fiayazgilani5298]

She is marvellous,gorgeous,intelligent,her role in MARY & TIMS 1996 was unique n wonderful,,a great artist,loved her talent n fine personality.

[@dcrom]

My first TV sitcom gig was giving Murphy Brown a pregnancy sonogram. Great writing, of course...Donzig and Peterman, i.e., hilarious. Candice was amazing to work with, generous, so caring of my nervousness about it all---my tiny TV career went downhill from there, never matching that first gig! But seeing Candice again always warms my heart. And, she turned me onto California Pizza Kitchen!

[@sallyjdawg]

❤️ her!

[@dakotahstr]

Shes class.

[@davidmarks8318]

Don't forget that beautiful face graced the covers ( many) of vogue and bazaar. Love her

[@deniselowry8582]

You are so beautiful, inside and out❤️

[@captaindunsel2531]

Always had and still have a crush on Candie.

[@joshdrayton1230]

What is it with these interviewers?! Endless questions about her weight, her looks, her surgeries, her romances, her child... But, as the audience questions reveal, what people want to hear about is her work! She's known for her work as an actress and photographer, not all the other stuff. And being once beautiful and now older and a bit heavier is neither remarkable nor worth talking about for more than two minutes.

[@ladybug5859]

Love listening to Candice's stories. As fir aging and beauty, she looks at as an all American gal,. Isabella Rossellini's approasch to gaining weight with age is:"Not too bad," and she smiles beatifically. I do wish American women could be more like European women in that regard. But a very young European woman once said to me:"Your country is too young to create great women." She meant it in the kindest way and I agree with her.

[@beasleybrother1]

I think that she looks great for her age. Many want time to freeze, which is silly. I also think that there is a confidence with aging also with some women that instead of too many face lifts, that they get to a point where it is not as important anymore. Not to say that she hasn’t had work, but she isn’t 80 trying to look 60

[@terrydillon9323]

Thank you Candice for entertaining us for all those years.

[@laerteaga]

I've just bought her book!! Enjoying thoroughly

[@GaliSinatra]

Murphy Brown was the most brilliant TV show on in the 90's, a true American treasure. Ms. Bergen is in NO WAY overweight here and in recent videos, she looks fabulous.

[@audreys8306]

Especially loved Grant Shaud

[@sharonedwards6010]

Lovely lady.

[@maobfh]

One of the great actors in one of the best series in the history of TV. I don’t even watch the tube anymore. West Wing was the only thing that was equally intelligent. It was all downhill after that.

[@elizabethsauer7932]

I just read the book, great overview !

[@merricat3025]

Loved murphy brown

[@audreys8306]

Turned me into the woman I am. Thank you Candice Bergen.

[@reelfan-16]

I was always a fan of Murphy Brown, but I didn't truly know how talented Candice was! I love her and am grateful for her sharing herself with us. One of my favorite bits is when she is on SNL with Gilda Radner. It makes me laugh so hard!! kzbin.info/www/bejne/hF6Yd6qMq5qImtE

[@ef5686]

she was right about the interviwer; charming, oozing authenticity and kindness🥰

[@hawktchr8]

I am Swedish on my father’s side and he was very affectionate and told my brothers and me that he loved us daily. Her parents’ issues with showing and verbally expressing love had zero to do with being Swedish.

[@henrikechers9995]

So interesting a woman to listen 2 - loved it

[@stacyritter4527]

69 looks great...and her weight is good too skinny makes older people look older

[@brendadrew834]

Candice is in her early 70s, another great role model for women everywhere! And to remind men that women can be beautiful at all ages, inside and out!

[@user-fu8gw6zt1v]

С годами не утратила свою красоту...В фильме,,Жить,чтобы жить,, ее красота ослепляет..

[@dumdebadaba]

Candice Bergen has a career long before she did Murphy Brown.

[@jheriemaytolentino9993]

C'mon, You're the most beautiful person I know hahaha!

[@rmacapobre]

[@BicycleJoeTomasello]

I was looking for Harry Smith, the magicianI was looking for Harry Smith, the magician in Gnostic & Gnostic

[@TheGabby678]

She's gonna be 80! Why even talk about body? Because she was so beautiful and so sexy most of her life. Many ppl don't have a moment of such beauty so I can't feel bad for her.

[@JRIJR75]

Actually, she's going to be 72 on her next birthday. May 9, 1946 is her DOB.

[@rachelbaker3511]

We need to see the Alda -Candice thing on here.

[@classicalaid1]

No one is mentioning Candice's even more famous father, Edgar.

[@stacygross8279]

What's your secret, Candice?

[@dirkbogarde44]

Shame he never talked about the movies she's done.

[@jamesanthony5681]

She was in a number of big movies, but her performances were, truth be told, not all good.

[@blamania93]

Very enjoyable watch on a saturday morning. Shame it started out with the weight issues luckily it was pulled back. And the comment (above) about comparing Sandra Bullocks beauty with 60's and 70's stars objectifying women is still objectifying women no matter from what time period, these comparisons do not help. Candice Bergen I cannot explain why when I first saw her (noticed) in Boston Legal I was instantly drawn to her persona and presence as an actress, maybe I just have a fetish for strong female role model types.

[@citizen1163]

blamania93 Yes. Shame she obviously feels she has to explain her weight . Shows how deep the culture of body shaming runs, especially for women. Men tend not to apologise so much imo.

[@carolharley2180]

Lady your beautiful...

[@jamesanthony5681]

*you're

[@unclealand]

When "People" Mag claims Sandra Bullock is the most beautiful woman in the world all you have to do is look at photos of Candice Bergen in the seventies & sixties (or Julie Christie, or Deneuve) to see how low the bar dropped regarding beauty today. I did read where Bergen joined the Scientology cult, though, like Seinfeld. Considering how obese it made Kirsty Alley, Candice got off easy.

[@cmcb09]

Great genes, her mother Frances stayed a stunner her whole life naturally. Candice looks so much like her, in pictures of the two together it can be a bit uncanny.

[@sheiladineen9483]

Candice Bergen NEVER was in Scientology!

[@unclealand]

@@sheiladineen9483 You need to do a little online research. Yes, she was.

[@barbaraschneider7922]

was she really in it cuz she believed in it or was she in it briefly cuz she had to do some research for her journalism work@@unclealand

[@ClarenceFisher]

As much as I love Heather Locklear, she would have been all wrong. Corky would have had to be an entirely different character because Corky and Murphy would have been too similar - no contrast at all.

[@kerstindahlqvist9641]

I do not think she is overweight. She looks healthy. As you get in your forties you gain weight, especially If you are a Woman.

[@christinemccloskey7429]

Screw the love letters, I'd rather have a husband (a real man) who could support me so that I didn't have to leave my child and go out to work!

[@cynthiamoore7056]

Dear Candace, You look exactly like you did in “Carnal Knowledge” with a couple extra pounds (big whup), which is beautiful! You can’t fool this old fan. I’d recognize you in a NY minute in the dark in the rain. Pul-ease. 💋

[@rosu5726]

Doesn't she have a weird elvis story? She needs an honest tell all book.

[@edwardobrien4292]

Sound is horrible,

[@monalisasmile6629]

Wasn't she very close to being one of Charles Manson's victims?

[@tombennett3827]

monalisasmile yes she was in the late 60's. If I remember correctly, the Sharon Tate murders occurred at a house she was renting from Candice Bergen and her then-boyfriend Terry Melchor.

[@robertjones7565]

@@tombennett3827 --Bergen and Melcher didn't own the house, Ms. Tate and Polanski assumed the lease from them in the spring of '69. A guy by the name of Rudy Altobelli was the owner.

[@janetrainwater1505]

Has she ever mentioned how her and Terry melcher dodged a bullet by moving out of that house just a few months before the Manson murders. Her boyfriend is the 1 Manson had it in for. 😳👎😞💩🔫
