She’s beginning to annoy herself … Candice Bergen | Today 2:00 amHumming. In my later years, I have started humming, sometimes singing, all the time. And usually when alone. And my husband is humilated by it. I, myself, am humiliated by it and try to stop but can’t. It’s like a tic. Maybe it’s like smoking or using a pacifier or keeping myself company. But it’s always the same thing that I hum and I made it up. Some lame-assed tune, and it is...  

Let’s look first to the childrenCandice Bergen | Today 1:00 amIf I had Warren’s money, first I’d give a little to his kids, and then I’d invest in food production and water purification or desalinization. That’s one of the biggest issues facing us.  

Who did Candice and her daughter watch religiously on ‘Sesame Street’?Candice Bergen | Today 12:00 am My favorite Sesame Street memory is watching it when my daughter was tiny and loving Count 1, 2, 3, 4 and teaching kids to brush their teeth with a huge toothbrush that had two big tufts of bristles. One for each fang. Also doing a show and bringing Chloe to the set. Watch Elmo interview Candice Bergen below...  

I started a teeny movie Monday for three weeks just to break the patternCandice Bergen | Today 12:00 amThe past year! I have not worked since last November. But actors have that as a job description. In fact, I started a teeny movie Monday for three weeks just to break the pattern.  

They’re a team with a fantastic and long history …Candice Bergen | Today 12:00 amWell, Liz seems to have a strong point of view on this (as on all else) but I, while knowing little about the Yankees, loved following the World Series. I think they are a classy, charismatic team with a few colorful characters. Derek Jeter is a natural captain. Loved watching Rivera pitch with a poker face then break into the great grin when they won. Andy...  

Katharine Hepburn and Marlon Brando had both rented the house …Candice Bergen | Today 12:00 amMy first adult purchase was a house. A very quirky but fabulous house that had once been John Barrymore’s aviary where he kept exotic birds in a large skylit room that became my bedroom. Katharine Hepburn and Marlon Brando had both rented the house and it had stained-glass windows with scenes from Barrymore’s movies. It was a tiny house with a little...  

This Los Angeles girl only trusted milk from one man …Candice Bergen | Today 12:00 amWe had a milkman in Los Angeles and he was the Adohr man. There was also an Arden milkman but I mistrusted him as I was an Adohr gal myself.    

Thank God, my husband walked into my apartment in an elegant pair of loafers …Candice Bergen | Today 12:00 am Handwriting doesn’t always work as two of the best and most intelligent people I know have the cursive of a cripple. My husband, however, has beautiful, graceful, sensual handwriting. It shows a level of education, the REGION in which a person is raised, intelligence and a certain intellectual organization. Or lack of. Shoes for me...  

She says travel since 9/11 … I argue otherwiseCandice Bergen | 11/02/2009 4:35 pmWhen my daughter, who is 24, and I talked about the biggest changes in our lives since birth, she said the difference is in travel — the travel experience since 9/11, which has been completely transformed. But I said technology. Specifically, communications. Revolutionized. Utterly.  

What Letterman did to emerge as more humane, more manly, more of a mensch than before …Candice Bergen | Today 12:00 am The wrongdoing thing is interesting because it can diminish people in an instant. Clinton crumbled. Edwards — roadkill. Letterman, on the other hand, has so far emerged greatly enhanced. We happened to be watching the night he made his confession and it was masterful. Spellbinding. He handled it brilliantly. Honest...  

There was a great detail that Hughes carried a paper bag of prunes!Candice Bergen | Today 12:00 amI remember vividly the Clifford Irving/Howard Hughes hoax for its utter chutzpah and weird details on Hughes. Don’t remember the year but maybe the ’70s? And it was riveting. Everyone was convinced. And wasn’t that forger involved? Elmyr de Hory? They were accomplices somehow and lived in Ibiza? Then Bermuda entered into it? Or am I hallucinating...  

What activities invigorate Candice Bergen? Candice Bergen | Today 12:00 amWhen walking or hiking or riding.  

Afghanistan or Pakistan?Candice Bergen | Today 12:00 amAfghanistan? I thought we were shifting our focus to Pakistan. That’s where Al-Qaeda is said to be hanging these days. The Taliban is supposedly no threat to the West. Unless they team up. Which they are wont to do.  

Guess what wormed its way into our brain matter? Candice Bergen | Today 12:00 amMultitasking seems to have wormed its way into our brain matter and I’m not sure that’s a good thing, but it’s tough to turn back now. What’s most distressing is multitasking when driving. Oy. That gets me nuts. Texting. Talking. Drinking. Watching TV. All the while at the wheel. Insane.   And I think it has destroyed our attention spans. Well, on top of MTV...  

Back in the day there were SI Hayakawa, then William Safire and Ken Tynan … But now? Candice Bergen | Today 12:00 am Language? Back in the day it was SI Hayakawa. Then Safire. Ken Tynan as well. And John Simon could be withering about misplaced punctuation and ungainly adverbs. But now? Not a clue.  

What does ‘bravery’ mean to Candice? And does she fall under the ‘bravery’ category?Candice Bergen | Today 12:00 am I’m not sure anything any of us has done can appropriately fall under the "bravery" banner when thousands of young kids have lost their lives in Iraq and Afghanistan. But to me, bravery is doing something you are afraid of. Writing a book, in my case (and which I would never have finished had it not been for our Joni). Having...  

In my recurring dream,  I just start flapping my arms and … presto, I have liftoffCandice Bergen | Today 12:00 amNow, the recurring dream … is, in my case, flying. And I love this dream. Because it’s not in the least flashy when I do it. It’s very casual and I don’t fly terribly high. Two to four stories usually. And it’s easy peasy. I just start flapping my arms and … presto, I have liftoff and it is a perfect moment. I hate waking up from...  

… on whether or not it’s important that the next CEO of the Ladies Professional Golf Association is a womanCandice Bergen | Today 12:00 amYes. The CEO should be a woman. Absolutely. Of the Ladies PGA?? No question. That said, I still hate golf.  

Buzz cut? Comb-over? Keep the little wispy puffs? Candice Bergen | Today 12:00 amOy. The wig thing. I thought the buzz cut had replaced the dreaded comb-over. And wigs — wigs have come a LONG way. Trust me. They are almost invisible. Well, the insanely expensive ones are. But I always found bald men very attractive. Not ALL bald guys. But my husband, for example, is bald and I think he is the most elegant, handsome guy. What’s harder is the...  

And on the dreams that continue to be just dreams Candice Bergen | Today 12:00 am At 63, the statute of limitations on dreams may have run out. But when I was younger, I dreamed of having a real chance to do comedy, never thinking I’d get it. Then a couple of films and then "Murphy" for ten years came along and I was in heaven. About the same time, my daughter, Chloe, was born, and she has transcended any dream status. My first marriage was a...  

There should be a resolution that factors in his contributions and his ageCandice Bergen | Today 12:00 amThe Roman thing is complicated as we all know. It brings out the dark, avenging side of America, yet it is a crime. It was absolutely a criminal, indecent, amoral act and should be acknowledged and in some way paid for. But he is a brilliant, gifted artist. He is a father. And he is 75. How much time should he serve? And why is he not...
