Candice Bergen

Candice Bergen has made a lot of TV appearances in the 70s before she was known for her role in the 90s hit TV show, Murphy Brown. She started her career way back in 1966 as was even dubbed as an “ice princess.” She has made an appearance in The Sand Pebbles and Carnal Knowledge during her early acting years. Throughout her career in acting was given credit when Candice clinched several awards and continued working as a celebrity. Her latest acting gig was in ABC drama Boston Legal as Shirley Schmidt.

A few years ago, the septuagenarian unexpectedly became an Instagram sensation: her daughter, the writer—and T&C contributor—Chloe Malle, asked mom to decorate her Louis Vuitton duffle, which she then posted on Instagram. The requests started pouring in, and a new business, called BergenBags, was born. Stylish women everywhere sent in their Goyard totes and Hermès Kellys for Bergen to personalize with her quirky painted illustrations for a fee that went to charity.
