Candice Bergen, daughter of ventriloquist Edgar Bergen, is a former fashion model and a darling of the television industry. A five-time Emmy winner for early-1990s sitcom
Murphy Brown, Bergen has since graced the small screen as a
Special Guest Star in series such as
Seinfeld,
Law & Order,
Sex and the City and
Will and Grace. Younger tropers will most likely remember her as Shirley Schmidt, the
foxy, feisty, brilliant attorney lusted after (and loved) by both Denny Crane and Alan Shore in the hit series
Boston Legal.
Bergen is no stranger to the silver screen, either. She made her big-screen
breakout in
Carnal Knowledge and has since starred in critically acclaimed films such as
The Wind and the Lion and
A Night Full of Rain as well as blockbusters like
Miss Congeniality,
Sex and the City and
Sweet Home Alabama. She even earned herself an
Oscar nomination in 1979 for the hit romance
Starting Over, but lost to
Meryl Streep (
Kramer Vs. Kramer).
Oh, and did we mention she is very,
very sexy?
