Candice Bergen on 30-Pound Weight Gain: 'I am Fat' and 'I Live to Eat'

Updated



Bergen says she is now totally comfortable in her own skin.

"At a recent dinner party I shared bread and olive oil, followed by chocolate ice cream with my husband," she recalls. "A woman near me looked at me, appalled, and I thought, 'I don't care.'"

A Fine Romance, out April 7, is Bergen's second memoir after 1984's Knock Wood. The book will include everything from her marriage to French director Louis Dalle, raising her now 30-year-old daughter Chloe, and falling in love again after Dalle passed away in 1995 from cancer.
