Did you know that famed ventriloquist Edgar Bergen left his inheritance to a piece of wood instead of his famous daughter Candice and that he allegedly used to force Candice to act as his ventriloquist dummy at the breakfast table? Candice Bergen is an actress that audience members will best recognize thanks to her time playing the titular character on the television series Murphy Brown. Though Candice has managed to make a name for herself in the entertainment industry, she had little help from her famous father. Candice’s father was a famous ventriloquist by the name of Edgar Bergen, who made waves during Hollywood’s Golden Age with his dummy, who he called Charlie McCarthy. As Candice was growing up, she was neglected as a result of her father spending more time with his dummy than her! Upon his 1978 passing, Edgar left his dummy $10,000 and didn’t leave a cent to Candice.

Although Candice Bergen was left in the cold by her father’s will, she has still had no trouble supporting herself over the years thanks to her television success. After her early career days featuring in films alongside the likes of Jack Nicholson, Sean Connery, and Harrison Ford, Candice finally started standing out to the public when she started taking on more comedic roles. Candice’s first comedic role was alongside Burt Reynolds in 1979’s Starting Over.
Less than a decade after appearing alongside Burt Reynolds in Starting Over, Candice was given the chance to portray the titular character on the 1988 series Murphy Brown. Join Facts Verse as we explore how Candice Bergen was always overshadowed by her cruel father.

Child abuse-so many forms-Candice overcame both “dummies”.
Well said, we strongly concur! Thank you for watching our content and for sharing your thoughts. What other types of video would you like to see?
This was done as a publicity stunt and Candice has said in many interviews that this didn’t happen and he left 10 thousand dollars for repair of Charlie
Proof?
Murphy Brown aired on CBS, not NBC. Candice Bergen was also a photojournalist. Appeared in Carnal Knowledge and Ghandi, major motion pictures upon their release.
Anyone who could take a ventriquist act and turn it into a hit RADIO show, can't be all bad.

He had a problem with her when she began asking questions. This is why some people shouldn't have kids.
We absolutely agree! Thank you for your watching our video. Be on the lookout for the next one!
@@FactsVerse I sure will
As a boomer I loved her as Murphy Brown! And as she aged, her sense of humor about it! I just loved her for how real she always is and wish her the best!
We're happy to know that you love the show. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. If we may ask, which episode did you like the best?
Even without Murphy Brown I still knew who Candace Bergen was because she was always very present on TV in the 70s!
*Wow. I'm sure the inheritance didn't matter (much) to her as opposed to the love she never got. Her father is right up there with Bing Crosby for 'Father of the Year'.*
What was wrong with Bing Crosby? I only know him from White Christmas.
@@roadlesstraveled34Bing was physically abusive to his wife and sons. 2 of 3 sons committed suicide, leading to speculation about the family's home life.
It's emotionally abusive enough when a parent deliberately favors one child over another but to favor an inanimate object over your own child is sadistic. Good for Candice for persevering.
Absolutely, we feel the same way! Thank you for sharing your sentiments and for watching our content. What other types of video would you like to see on our channel?
@@FactsVerse I really enjoy all of your videos as they are both informative as well as entertaining. I guess I would like to see some behind the scenes videos of some of my favorite shows from the 60s and 70s (and later), Taxi, MASH, Cheers, Frasier, That Girl, Mary Tyler Moore, Man From UNCLE, The Addams Family, The Munsters, Get Smart, Lost in Space, Twilight Zone.
@@FactsVerse What is really sad in this case is that I heard her mother alas wasn´t that much better than her father-as far as I know she never heard I love you from either of her parents as a kid-the one with her mother improved later after Candice became a mother herself
I loved Murphy Brown - it’s very sad to hear how Candice was treated by her father but I’m even more of a fan knowing what she overcame. She didn’t let herself be just a victim- she went on to have her own success.
We're happy to know that you love the show. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. If we may ask, which episode is the most memorable for you?
It's always saddening to hear about another child who couldn't get their parents love. I can only imagine that her father probably suffered the same way.

I loved Murphy Brown!! I even named my cat Murphy Brown. I was sad to see the show come to an end. It was the kind of humour that I like. The smart kind!!
You're a true fan! Thank you so much for sharing your life story. If we may ask, which episode is the most memorable for you?
Great name for a sassy cat. 😻😻😻
I never thought EB was that great as a ventriloquist. He always moved his lips.
CB was absolutely beautiful and a great comedian.

I Am A Candace Bergen Fan; I Also Enjoyed Edgar Bergen And Charlie… I Am Surprised To Learn About The Rejection/Abandonment That Miss Bergen Endured , As A Child…
Glad to know that you're a fan of Candace! What other types of video would you like to see?
She was at her best in westerns....great cowgirl.....❤
Wasn't a fan of Murphy Brown, but remember Candice well...glad she was able to become a huge success in spite of her childhood. That was very selfish of her father to leave an inheritance for his "dummies" but nothing for his daughter. 😢
We absolutely agree! Thank you for your watching our video. Be on the lookout for the next one!
I'm glad that candace broke the cycle and was a good mother to her child
All I can say is...WOW! So dysfunctional!
Murphy Brown was on CBS.
No mention of Mom.
yeah alas she doesn´t seem to have been much better-I guess she "blamed" Candice for not being able to have the career she dreamed of from what I´ve heard Candice never heard I love you from both parents while she was a kid-the relationship with her mom improved later after Candice became a mother herself,
I first recalled her from an episode of Saturday Night Live in the Fall of 1977.But watch it for yourselves to see how it went.
We vididly remember that episode too! Thank you for bringing back memories. What other types of video would you like to see?
She at least didn't want his money and it's his loss. She made it even bigger now. Good for her. BTW not defending Edger, but the money going to his dummies I think was to preserve them for future ventriloquists. I'd say it's more like he cared about that aspect of his career. I wouldn't say he chose his doll over his daughter. He just didn't leave money in general. Still an asshole move. Still bad not to leave anything to Candice but he didn't have some dummy fetish.
I was a fan of Edgar Bergan (through the Muppets), it's sad he had no love for his child.
Mortimer Snerd didn't contest the will?
Good point 😅
Murphy Brown was on CBS
I’ve always been a huge fan of Candace Bergen! She’s a class act! ❤
Beautiful words, thank you for your message for Candace! Be safe and have a great week ❣
@@FactsVerse You also! ❤️
...no. I watched Boston Legal...which you never mentioned at all
I’m guessing Candice might disagree with this claim of neglect.
Very interesting. I'm a Candice Bergen fan.
Thanks for watching! We're so glad you enjoyed this video. What other types of video would you like to see?
@@FactsVerse Let me think about this for a while....
Well who inherited Charlie.??
It’s disgusting to hear that a man neglected his child and cared more about a stupid wooden puppet.if Charley was actually alive I hope he would be disgusted
one line Edgar said about her in his act stayed with me.
"Charlie, I don't like the way you're behaving. What have you got against Candy?"
"Well, nothing, except I think you should've left her in the wrapper"
Interesting, thank you so much for sharing this! What other types of video would you like to see on our channel?
She was also in Boston Legal with William Shatner
Yes, we remember it too! Thank you for bringing back memories. What other types of video would you like to see on our channel?
Murphy Brown was on CBS not NBC...
Murphy Brown was on CBS, not NBC
Poor victim. Who do you think started off her acting career.
And that has what to do with anything?
Explains Candice's nasty turn on Murphy Brown.
Candice was an absolute babe loved her in bite the bullet loved her outdoors girl look❤❤❤
I saw her when we got cable in the 80’s , she was 6 ish and on the Groucho Marx show ... talk about born w/ a silver spoon ....
Left a DUMMY $10,000 and we are supposed to BELIEVE THIS ?
It's true. The money was to support future ventriloquist performances.
Candace was one of the Best personalities on TV. Sorry for her angst. 😢
Well said, we strongly concur! Thank you for watching our content and for sharing your thoughts. What other types of video would you like to see?
I liked her in the western with Hackman, only a woman would be jealous of a dummy, the 10 grand went towards a life time of termite treatments and wood rot
She was a child. How bizarre for a man to be more loving to a dummy than to his child.
CBS not NBC
Sad
A ventriloquist on the radio never made sense to me. That's like tap dancing or doing card tricks on the radio.
She also made a lot of movies and had a recurring role on Sex and the City.
Yes, we remember it all too well. Thank you for sharing this! If we may ask, who' is your all-time favorite actress?
My favorite MB episode is the one with Aretha Franklin ❤❤❤ My second favorite: the one with that idiot Dan Quail. The first movie I saw her in was "The Sand Pebbles." She's a very good actor and so funny. I'm not buying the BS about her dad and the dummy, btw.
I reckon Candice show the fool who’s who Murphy brown was a GREAT series wish someone could work out the deal with the music that seems to be the hang up so I could get all 10 years glad she made it big time Candice your show is terrific!!!!!m
It was on cbs
Her dad was WEIRD. She didn’t need his money anyway. 🤷♀️
Because he could control Charlie. Candace had her own agency, as it should be.
According to my father, who was there at time, Edgar was not that good of a ventriloquists. It was too obvious that his mouth moved.. His talent was in the comedy, Charlie just made it an act.
David, I posted same thing about EB.
@@jerrylee8261 Yeah, but I neve pass up a chance to quote my father. David
@@murphynapoleon Yes, but it was his work in movies and a few TV appearances which showed his weaknesses compared to other ventriloquists. David
Certainly not to be compared to the talents of Darcy Lynn or Terry Fator.
Well she wouldn't have gotten there had it not been for him anyhow. 🤔
You are slamming a great entertainer as it is clear you have done no research Candice has never once said her father was abusive and the 10 thousand was left for handily and repair of Charlie also Charlie did not have his own room this was a publicity stunt Edgar pulled numerous times so next time you want to slam a hero and inspiration try get your facts right
While I did enjoy Edgar Bergen's talent, but he was very wrong for what he did to Candice. I don't agree with her politics, but she didn't deserve what he did to her.
Factsverse I am so disappointed in your presentation. You are attacking a man for things you have no real proof. Instead of being informative, you are just being vicious. Sad, I thought you were more professional than that.
He literally left money to his ventriloquist dummy and not to his daughter. This should tell you everything you need to know.
sadly i can kind of relate.
my father left money to a dummy, she’s my step monster.
thrilled that ms. bergens career was / is stellar.!
quite a legacy she’s leaving behind.. ✌🏻🇦🇺😊
Interesting, thanks for sharing your life story. How are you holding up so far?
i figure he mindset was,
she needs the money more than i.
taking each day as they unfold..thank you for asking.! 🙏🏻
✌🏻🇦🇺😊
Totally inaccurate presentation and representation of the facts...and the truth.
You CLEARLY don’t take your research...or honesty seriously.
I’d be very concerned about your misrepresentation of a huge Hollywood legend. There is still a Bergen Foundation that was started by Edgar...that would not take your bogus and inaccurate claims very well.
Why didn't you point out the inaccuracies and correct them 🤔
@@coldsamon ... Because it’s not my job. It’s the author’s job to do proper research and get the facts correct. NOT MINE.
I already have a job...and it’s not correcting someone else’s mistakes.😬
Thought you might like to know that my first attempts at getting set up with your new sponsor " Fetch " has continued to be a bit of a challenge to get set up !
Would definitely be interested in using your name while setting up our account, but trying to get set up, has been anything but easy !
May we ask what part of setting up are you having problems with?
@@FactsVerse
Phone number clarification !
They send me a security code number, but when I type in the accurate numbers, they keep sending me a response page for troubles with the security code ! Have been going round and round with this, and just about ready to throw in the towel !
A few dollars saved, or a few other benefits, just aren't worth the aggravation with it !
Have now been waiting for their customer service to reply to my email since yesterday !
Will let you know how I make out with them !
