Candice Bergen 2006 Stroke, Accomplished actress Candice Bergen has opened up about her 2006 medical scare as she takes on a new project on Broadway.
In “Gore Vidal’s The Best Man,” Bergen will play the unhappy wife of a politician. Speaking about the role, the 65-year-old actress admitted that she had kept her stroke quiet because she did not want her health to become a “liability,” according to New York Magazine.

Bergen suffered a stroke six years ago as a result of high blood pressure. At the time, her representative denied the media’s claims that Bergen was hiding the stroke in order to save her career.

“I just don’t want it to be a liability,” said Bergen of her condition, confirming that the media’s speculation of her stroke had been correct.

Although she returned to filming “Boston Legal” just two weeks after the health scare, Bergen said her body never returned to normal. “My memory is just… not quite the same,” divulged the actress.
