Candice Bergen has been making waves in Los Angeles, and according to a source, she’s looking better than ever. After spending years tucked away in the Hamptons, the legendary actress has decided to embrace a new chapter in her life, one that focuses on her career and her iconic looks. This exclusive insight from Closer paints a vivid picture of how a change of scenery can lead to a renewed sense of purpose and vitality.
A New Chapter in L.A.
For years, Candice Bergen spent her time in the Hamptons, a place that never quite felt like home. "Selling the Hamptons house was the best decision she ever made," says the source. The house, originally built by her husband, Marshall Rose, and his late wife, Jill, was never fully hers. Despite her efforts to make it her own, it never resonated with her the way her new life in Los Angeles does.
A Fresh Start
In March 2021, Candice and Marshall sold their East Hampton Village home for a staggering $17 million, marking the end of their multi-decade stay in the exclusive enclave. This move wasn’t just about real estate; it was a signal of a shift in Candice's goals. After years of being somewhat reclusive on the East Coast, she’s now back in the spotlight, focusing on her appearance and seeking her next big role in Hollywood.

Candice, 78, is a powerhouse in the entertainment industry. Known for her iconic roles in Boston Legal and Murphy Brown, she’s no stranger to the spotlight. However, this new phase in her life seems to be reigniting her passion for acting and her desire to maintain her classic allure.
Family Ties
Candice shares one daughter, Chloe, with her late husband, French film director and screenwriter Louis Malle. Chloe, now 38, is the mother of Candice’s two grandchildren. The source reveals that family played a significant role in her decision to move west. "To tell the truth, she was becoming a little bored and she missed the California climate. Now, she’s in L.A. a lot more where she can be close to her daughter Chloe and grandkids," the source explains.
But Hollywood never lost its allure for Candice, who is currently working on an upcoming project, Harvest Moon, alongside Carmen Ejogo and veteran actor Paul Bettany. "Hollywood is calling more often too and she’s picking up the phone. She never stopped working and did so when something grabbed her but she’s excited to step up the pace and prove she’s still got it," the source reveals.
Staying Sassy and Stylish
At the 76th Primetime Emmy Awards, Candice didn’t shy away from using her sharp wit. She responded to comments made by Vice Presidential hopeful J.D. Vance to Tucker Carlson in 2021, where he criticized Democratic voters. As the actress who played the titular character in Murphy Brown, she noted how far society has come since her character was attacked by then-Vice President Dan Quayle for becoming a single mother.
"She’s already proven she hasn’t lost her sassy sense of humor," confirms the source. Candice has also taken a page from her pal Jane Fonda, losing weight by exercising and eating right. "She’s enjoying spa days like never before while doing what she can to maintain her classic looks," the source adds.
While Candice and Marshall still travel to New York occasionally, she’s content to stay on the West Coast moving forward. This move isn’t just about geography; it’s about embracing a new chapter in life, one filled with family, career opportunities, and a renewed zest for life.
