Candice Bergen’s Husband Marshall Rose Dead at 88 From Complications With Parkinson’s Disease – E! Online

“Marshall was in on it,” Bergen shared with CBS in 2015. “Don and Marilyn invited me to their apartment for dinner and then he called up, like, two days before and said, ‘Oh, and a man’s gonna pick you up. His name is Marshall Rose.’ And I went, ‘Okay.’ And I just saw Marshall and I went, Hmm.’”

After all, she expected “short and round,” she explained. But instead, “He was just a very handsome, present man,” the Emmy-winner described. “And he had beautiful eyes. And I just thought, ‘I trust this man completely.’ Yeah, and by dessert I was sort of in his pocket.”

They would often spent their evenings enjoying dinner together and watching The West Wing, the 78-year-old described to the New York Times in 2020.

“My life is a very tiny life now,” she said at the time. “I don’t mind it, frankly. For someone in their 70s, it’s not a tragedy.”
