Candice Bergen, a renowned actress known for her role in “Murphy Brown,” is now 76 and embraces her body and love for food. Bergen’s career began as a model for Vogue before transitioning to acting, where she earned five Emmy Awards for her role in “Murphy Brown.” Despite critics, she proudly lives life on her terms.

In her memoir, “A Fine Romance,” Bergen shares her thoughts on aging and body image. She candidly writes, “I am fat. I live to eat. None of this ‘eats to live’ stuff for me.” Over the past 15 years, she has gained about 30 pounds but is unapologetic, enjoying decadent meals and ignoring judgment from others. “I am a champion eater. No carb is safe — no fat, either,” she declares.

Bergen criticizes societal pressures on women to maintain their youth, noting that she prefers to enjoy her current self. She highlights the extreme lengths some women go to stay thin, stating, “They maintain their weight by routinely vomiting… I am incapable of this.”

Now, Bergen enjoys life as a mother and grandmother. She was married to French director Louis Malle until his death in 1995 and is now married to Marshall Rose. She delights in her role as a grandmother to her daughter Chloe’s children, sharing, “She is the love of my life.” Bergen’s joy in her family life is evident in her social media posts, where she often shares sweet moments with her grandchildren.
