Twenty-five year old paperback from a used bookstore, it's Candice Bergen's memoir--pre-Murphy Brown. I wanted to read it because she and I are about the same age, and growing up I was a big fan of her dad, ventriliquist Edgar Bergen and his alterego Charlie McCarthy.
Bergen led a surprising life--Hollywood childhood, flunking out of University of Pennsylvania in one year (inattention mostly), photojournalist traveling the world though really liking to hunker down at home, self-confes More...

This was written back in 1984, and most of the films she did before then are ones I haven't seen, but it's a wonderful memoir. Great information about her family, growing up in Hollywood, really sweet and just candid enough to be interesting without being lurid.

I don't usually read autobiographies but Candice Bergen's story is an honest account of how she came to accept who she was.

I read this many years ago and it remains one of the funniest books I have read.

More the story of her dad, and a little less of her. I had no idea of what she had done pre-Murphy Brown. Too bad it is a 1984 copyright and not more current. Would love to know about her feelings now.

During my collge years, I became aware of Candice Bergen, primarily in her modeling career. This book truly filled in some of the blanks in my memory of the 70's and it gave me a new appreciation of the person.

An auotbiography by Candice Bergen is pretty interesting. This is an old book I found in a used book store but its worth reading.
