Candice Bergen and Marshall Rose's 25-Year Marriage
Bergen, who married Rose in 2000, confirmed his death in a statement shared with People.
The couple was approaching their 25th wedding anniversary. Although they did not have children together, Rose is survived by his wife Candice, his children Wendi and Andrew, and his stepdaughter Chloe Malle.
He also leaves behind several grandchildren, including Bergen's first grandchild, born to Chloe in 2020. Throughout their marriage, Bergen, 78, often expressed how important her relationship with Rose was to her.
In a 2015 interview with "Miss Congeniality" co-star Sandra Bullock, Bergen shared that she prioritized her marriage over her career. "I'm not that ambitious," she stated, "I'm always grateful when I get offered something that engages me...and I don't have to leave my husband for more than a week or two."
Rose's legacy extends beyond his family to his many philanthropic contributions. The obituary mentions that in lieu of flowers, donations in his memory can be made to the New York Public Library, where he spent many years advocating for adult literacy programs.
