<\/p>\nCandice Bergen is a television screen staple. The actress has been in multiple shows and movies over the years, and has earned a solid reputation for herself!<\/p>\n
And when critics come to silence her, she shows that she is someone who will not be messed with! She really is someone who lives life on her own terms.<\/p>\n
Candice Bergen started off her career as a model, working for magazines like Vogue. Since then her career has sky-rocketed and she has become a household name. Her role in the show \u201cMurphy Brown\u201d led her to five Emmy wins.<\/p>\n

But her audition caught the writer and producer Diane English\u2019s eye who insisted that she was the one for the role.<\/p>\n
The show and her role were a huge hit and women all across the country adored her portrayal of a reported. Bergen fondly recalls, \u201cThat character gave me permission to be my brattiest, bawdiest self.\u201d<\/p>\n
She was nominated for seven Emmys for the role and won five of them. But apparently, after her fifth win, she asked not to be considered for an Emmy again.<\/p>\n
The reason for this was because of how the actress\u2019 priorities changed and she decided to live her life differently. In her Memoir \u201cA Fine Romance,\u201d she revealed that she was more focused on herself, talking about how she did not care if she was \u2018fat\u2019 because she loved to eat!<\/p>\n

She talked candidly in the book about her relationship with food, revealed that in the last 15 years, she has gained about 30 pounds but does not care about it.<\/p>\n
She plainly in the book, \u201cLet me just come right out and say it: I am fat. I live to eat. None of this \u2018eats to live\u2019 stuff for me.\u201d<\/p>\n
She also shared stories of her enjoying decadent meals at dinner parties with her husband, and getting smug looks from other dinner guests but that she pays no mind to them. She wrote, \u201cI am a champion eater. No carb is safe \u2014 no fat, either.\u201d<\/p>\n
She went on to talk about how women in their 50s are so caught up with trying to maintain their youth that they often forget to enjoy their current selves. She has opted out of trying to maintain her youthful looks or figure, and is very much enjoying her decision to do so.<\/p>\n
While her friends focus on their diets, Bergen is clear that she focused on food. She wrote, \u201cdieting is out of my purview. I crave cookies, all the things that dilate my pupils.\u201d<\/p>\n
She talked of women she knows who \u2018vomit\u2019 out their meals after eating them to maintain their figures, strongly saying that she would never do such a practice.<\/p>\n
She wrote, \u201cThey maintain their weight by routinely vomiting after major meals consisting of a slice of steak or a filet of fish. I am incapable of this.\u201d<\/p>\n
Now the actress is in the second stage of her life, as a mother and grandmother. Her first marriage to French director Louis Malle lasted 15 years, ending upon his death from cancer in 1995. She had her daughter Chloe Malle from that union.<\/p>\n
She married Marshal Rose in the 2000s, her second marriage which is still going successfully.<\/p>\n
