Candice Bergen
Remember the scene from Carnal Knowledge that ran long enough to leave us teetering on the brink of discomfort as we watched Candice, mid-shot and set against a black background, our entire attention with nowhere to go but to her gaping mouth in perpetual laughter, Art Garfunkel and Jack Nicholson's voices heard provoking her off-screen. We can't get enough of her natural, fresh-faced beauty, partial credit to those Nordic genes. Not many of our generation will know she is the daughter of Edgar Bergen, famous ventriloquist who graced the vaudeville stage and the silverscreen with Charlie McCarthy (the dummy), or that she was married to Au revoir les enfants director Louis Malle until his death in 1995. Instead our generation will most definitely recall her in Murphy Brown, her Lauren Bacall rasp spouting pearls of witticisms. Missed that show went it went away... We angle our focus on her youth as captured in the soft-focus photography of the 60's and 70's when color was sun-drenched, faded to pastel and when black & white was a hazy, ambiguous dream.

At an age when most actresses are being phased out, I am being phased in - with a vengeance.

But it was hard to leave because the show's been so important in our lives.

But when I disappeared, it sort of pissed me off, that guys get to go on being sexual until they're seventy or eighty, and we disappear at forty-five or fifty.

Dreams are, by definition, cursed with short life spans.

Glamorized... am I glamorous?

Hollywood is like Picasso's bathroom.

I admit that Post-it note sheets that adhere to virtually any surface are now my substitute of choice for retention.
Candice Bergen
I believe a lot in monogamy, let me tell you.
Candice Bergen
I certainly love doing comedy and feel most comfortable near it.
Candice Bergen
I couldn't hold it together today. George Clooney asked me if I was OK, and I practically collapsed. I couldn't stop crying, I had to go off sobbing like an idiot.
Candice Bergen
I didn't have a financial need, and I wasn't very gifted at relationships. I probably was more like what we think of boys as being: hard to pin down and wary of commitment.
Candice Bergen
I got the role I loved the most at a point in my career when most women are being phased out.
Candice Bergen
I guess I was a mom so late in life, my daughter was the greatest thing since sliced bread.
Candice Bergen
I have never appreciated a quiet moment with a friend as much, a quiet moment with a book and I think part of that is my obsession with being older and time going faster and it's become increasingly sweeter for me.
Candice Bergen
I have never savored life with such gusto as I do now.
Candice Bergen
I never have really said much about the whole episode, which was endless. But his speech was a perfectly intelligent speech about fathers not being dispensable and nobody agreed with that more than I did.
Candice Bergen
I remember being in tears at the hospital after Chloe was born, at the thought that someday she would have to leave home.
Candice Bergen
I was getting offers. I had just turned them down. Then I realized I should be grateful that at age 54, people were still offering me film roles.
Candice Bergen
I've never felt more comfortable in my skin, I've never enjoyed life as much and I feel so lucky.
