Candice Bergen has always handled herself with style. She is very much her father's daughter. Both of whom had reserved mannerisms, had difficulty of expression; yet had great admiration of one another.
Her bearing and appearance indicates that she is a lady. She has always been a rugged individualist with a sense of humor that could make one blush, Candice has a little-seen side that the public isn't privy to.
As I read her autobiography, although she is of my mother's generation, and I younger. Despite her father's vocation, although he was very, very accomplished, he was conservative. Which, is how he raised his two children. Like my life, she grew up privy of privileged. Attending Westlake School for Girls in Bel Air at a time when it still had a boarding school, which was abandoned not long after she graduated. Yet with many changes long ago, propriety still matters there. She went east to college. To my great surprise experienced the same thing as I did not very long ago. She studied art history, and had a passion for photography. She is infinitely sophisticated and is extremely knowledgeable about art and comedy. As she wrestled with the dilemma of leaving college without a degree. Candice has proven that having a college degree doesn't automatically mean a girl can step right into the job of her dreams.
To open the right doors, often what's needed is a business skill your prospective boss can use. And, as her motto of life is the old legend: "follow your bliss." Which, is great advice whatever someone chooses to do in life. One should never say, 'I might have, when they never even tried.' Candice appreciates life.
