 Candice Bergen is "a beautiful actress who projects intelligence, humor, vulnerability, and self-reliance -all more or less simultaneously," wrote critic Vincent Canby in the New York Times. Bergen proved this every week for 10 years as Murphy on the critically acclaimed CBS comedy "MURPHY BROWN," for which she received five Emmy awards and two Golden Globe awards. Bergen had earlier received extraordinary critical and audience responses for her performance as a college student caught up in the turmoil of a campus revolt in "GETTING STRAIGHT," as the personification of the clean cut all-American dream girl of the '40's in Mike Nichol's "CARNAL KNOWLEDGE" and as the newly liberated wife in "STARTING OVER," for which she received an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress.
