Daughter of radio/tv comedian/ventriloquist Edgar Bergen of Charlie McCarthy,Mortoner Snerd fame. Socialist activist famous for taking a swipe at Republican Indiana Senator Dan Quaile during her tv show. A Hottie never realized she was that old or followed much of herperconal life or film career. No mention of marriage in this bio. If she did get married she kept her father’s name for stage and film presentations.
Wrong gal. You’re thinking of Candice.
Polly Bergen was the dark-haired actress who was also a panelist on the early “To Tell the Truth” show, in the late-1950s, when it was hosted by Bud Collyer. She was always very fetching, but I’d read about her being a big Planned Parenthood supporter many years ago, and it immediately left her pretty sullied to my eyes.
Polly Bergen was no relation to Edgar Bergen, and she certainly wasn’t Candice Bergen.
