She went on to star in ''The Sand Pebbles'' (1966), Soldier Blue (1970), ''Carnal Knowledge'' (1971) and ''The Wind and the Lion'' (1977). She made her Broadway debut in the 1984 play ''Hurlyburly''.

Her mother, Frances Bergen (née Westerman), was a Powers model who was known professionally as Frances Westcott.〔(Candice Bergen Biography (1946–) )〕 Her father, Edgar Bergen, was a famous ventriloquist, comedian, and actor. Her paternal grandparents were Swedish-born immigrants who anglicized their surname, which was originally Berggren. As a child, Candice was irritated at being described as "Charlie McCarthy's little sister" (referring to her father's star dummy).〔"So when I was born, it was only natural that I was known in the press not as Candice Bergen, but as "Charlie's sister."" (Bergen, "My Dad, Charlie and Me' in Jack Canfield, ''et al.'', ''A Second Chicken Soup for the Woman's Soul'' 1998:36〕 Bergen began appearing on her father's radio program at a young age,〔"Bergen & McCarthy 55-12-25 Christmas (Guest Candice Bergen)", listed on Golden Age OTR's playlist on Live365.com〕 and in 1958, at age 11, with her father on Groucho Marx's quiz show ''You Bet Your Life'' as Candy Bergen. She said that when she grew up, she wanted to design clothes. She later attended the University of Pennsylvania, where she was elected both Homecoming Queen and Miss University, but, as Bergen later acknowledged, she failed to take her education seriously and after failing two courses in art and opera, she was asked to leave at the end of her sophomore year. She ultimately received an honorary doctorate from Penn in May 1992.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Entertainment & the Arts - Bergen Is Wimpy Compared To Alter-Ego Murphy - Seattle Times Newspaper )〕 She worked as a fashion model before she took up acting, featured on the covers of ''Vogue''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Candice Bergen」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
