Happy Birthday, Candice Bergen!

Join wOw in wishing our gorgeous Candy Bergen the best.
You may know her as reporter Murphy Brown, or tough litigator Shirley Schmidt on "Boston Legal," or perhaps as Carrie Bradshaw’s straightforward editor at Vogue on "Sex and the City." But to us here at wowOwow, she’s a wOw of a woman, our Candice Bergen … and Saturday is her birthday! We’re wishing her the best of birthday wishes, and would love for you to please join us in celebrating her special day by leaving your birthday note for her below.

My child shares your birthday, if she didn’t I would have sent you candy, balloons, a bunch of stuff. However, because I did all that for her and tired myself out, all you get are: 1 dozen Xs and 1 dozen Os. I hope you can use them!!!!
Happy Birthday,
Whoopi

Happy Birthday to your daughter also, sounds like your grandkids will enjoy the gifts sent along with her! Sharing a sugar high and balloons to race around the house, mom might need a day of rest after the birthday!

Happy Birthday, you buggy little one! Who has ever been born so good-looking and so goodhearted at the same time so that through the years, they just grow more so and more so.

Candy girl, I have loved you since we first met when you were deciding what to be when you grew up, and I reveled through your successes, your happy marriage, the advent of Chloe and “Murphy Brown” when you made Emmy history! I think now you are better than ever – and then, of course, in your life was the fabulous P.S., Mr. Marshall Rose, who is one of my singing partners.

Many more happys with your loving Wows!

Liz

Happiest birthday to our smart, beautiful, funny Candy. She is always a fresh honest voice on the site as well as off. I hope she and Marshall have a joyous romantic dinner with many, many more to follow.

Oh, Candy, how beautiful you are on your birthday, how fortunate you are with your genes, and what a treat you are for all of us. I think birthdays are bad for you, but if you insist on having one, I wish you one brimming with love from all sides.

Happy Birthday Candy! I was looking at you the other day and thinking, "You know, Candy is beautiful. Really in an old-fashioned kind of way. A deep way. The way that starts inside with wisdom and kindness and wit and ends up on the cheekbones." My wish for you today is a good laugh and a moment of sweet recognition of the joy you bring to the world.

Oh, Candice: Happy, Happy Birthday dear, glorious You! I still look back on my time with Murphy as one of the best of my career. And Blessings to you and yours — especially your precious "Pomme Frite."
Love,

Darling Candice, who made TV reporters loveable! (One would’ve thought impossible!) I met you in Portland, OR, in 1968 when we were both covering the presidential campaign. I think you were working for Redbook. Is that possible? We were sooo young! And you, so beautiful, which you are today – outside, and in. I admired you then — and now, even more.
Love,
Lesley

Dear Candy,

Here’s the thing, birthday girl: There aren’t many people who are brilliantly gifted at acting, or writing, photography, motherhood or marriage — much less all at once. But with every new life venture you take on, you make history. How great you have a fantastic family, you are enduringly beautiful and you are so, so much damn fun. What a gift you are to us of wOw.

(The more I think about you, the more jealous I am. Well, happy birthday, anyway.)
