Candice Bergen is no stranger to the world of Vogue: she first graced the cover in 1967, played a Vogue editor on Sex and the City, and now her daughter, Chloe Malle, is head of editorial content for the U.S. title.
“You’re doing so well,” Candice tells Chloe on today’s episode of The Run-Through. “You know, Enid was really fun to play and she was a little frosty and aloof. You don’t have that at all, thank God.”
Ahead of Mother’s Day this weekend, Chloe brought Candice into the studio to talk life, work, and parenthood. On the subject of balancing her shooting schedule for Murphy Brown with being a mom, Candice recalls: “It was certainly demanding to do a show and be the kind of present parent that I wanted to be…but I felt that I was present in ways that mattered and on a continuous basis.”
Bergen turns 80 this year, and while a celebration is on the horizon, she says the biggest gift she has received in her life was her grandchildren. “I just love those two kids. I love them to death and they are so different from one another and so filled with life and love,” she gushes of Chloe’s four-year-old daughter and five-year-old son. “I love getting to re-experience the joys of all that.”
Also on the episode, Chloe gathers with Taylor Antrim and Marley Marius to recap what was happening in the underbelly of the museum during Monday’s Met Gala. They also chat about the Tony nominations and look ahead to the Cannes Film Festival, where our editors are betting on Kristen Stewart rocking the controversial Chanel no-shoe shoe on the Croisette.
