The daughter of famed ventriloquist Edgar Bergen, this cool blonde beauty grew up in the public eye as the "little sister" of Charlie McCarthy, her father's famous wooden dummy. Still in college when she landed her debut film role in the ensemble drama
The Group
, Bergen went on to enjoy three very different careers: first as a so-so film actress, then as a celebrated photojournalist, and finally as a huge small-screen star as the title character on the sitcom
Murphy Brown
, a role that earned her two Golden Globes and five Emmys. Although Bergen had undisputed movie-star looks, her big-screen roles were mostly unrewarding, except for her Oscar-nominated turn as a tone-deaf aspiring singer in the 1979 romantic comedy
Starting Over
. Reportedly choosing her projects based on their filming locations, Bergen launched a concurrent career in journalism, contributing photos and articles based on her travels to numerous prestigious publications including
New York
,
Life
and
Playboy
magazines. Disenchanted with her film offers in the '80s, Bergen did what many aging actresses do and turned to TV. But few former film players find such resounding success on the small screen. From the moment go,
Murphy Brown
captivated viewers. As a smart, sassy, outspoken and often difficult TV newsmagazine anchor who also happened to be a recovering alcoholic, Bergen won critical accolades and myriad awards, and incurred the inane wrath of then-vice president Dan Quayle in 1992, when her alter ego became a single mother. (During the run of the show, Bergen became a single mom in real life when her husband, French film director Louis Malle, died of cancer in 1995.) After a 10-year run,
Murphy Brown
left the airwaves in 1998, but Bergen remained a feminist icon and beloved personality, winning supporting film roles and even hosting her own TV talk show,
Exhale with Candice Bergen
. In 2005 she returned to the small screen as a series regular on
Boston Legal
, playing a high-powered lawyer.
