3 | Candice Patricia Bergen (born May 9, 1946 in Los Angeles, California) is an American actress, former fashion model, and darling of the television industry. |

5 | A five-time UsefulNotes/EmmyAward winner for her title role in the hit 1988–98 sitcom ''Series/MurphyBrown'', Bergen has since graced the small screen as a SpecialGuest in series such as ''Series/{{Seinfeld}}'', ''Series/LawAndOrder'', ''Series/SexAndTheCity'' and ''Series/WillAndGrace''. Younger tropers will perhaps most likely recognize her as Shirley Schmidt, the [[SilverVixen foxy]], feisty, brilliant attorney lusted after (and loved) by both Denny Crane and Alan Shore in the hit series ''Series/BostonLegal''. In the '90s she also appeared in many commercials for Sprint long-distance telephone service, [[https://youtu.be/1GGdRaQxCWE advertising the ten cents a minute plan they offered at the time]]. She is also notable as a member of the "Five-Timers Club" of ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'' hosts. |

7 | Bergen is no stranger to the silver screen, either. She made her big-screen [[StarMakingRole breakout]] in ''Film/CarnalKnowledge'' and has since starred in critically acclaimed films such as ''Film/TheWindAndTheLion'' and ''Film/{{Gandhi}}'', as well as such blockbusters as ''Film/MissCongeniality'', ''Film/SexAndTheCity'', and ''Film/SweetHomeAlabama''. She even earned herself an UsefulNotes/AcademyAward nomination for her role in the 1979 romantic comedy ''Starting Over'', but lost to the acting ''tour de force'' that was Creator/MerylStreep in ''Film/KramerVsKramer''. |

9 | The daughter of ventriloquist Creator/EdgarBergen, she was married to French film director Creator/LouisMalle from 1980 until his death in 1995, and had one child (daughter Chloe Françoise) with him. Since 2000 she has been married to real estate developer Marshall Rose. |
