Candice Bergen’s husband, Marshall Rose, has died. He was 88.
Rose passed away “in the early hours of February 15th, surrounded by loved ones,” according to his obituary.
A noted philanthropist, Rose died from complications with Parkinson’s disease following “many years of extraordinary strength and resilience,” the obituary added, describing Rose as a man who “consistently modeled a life worth emulating.”
“His effortless gravitas paired with his quick humor and genuine respect for all individuals made him a gifted and compelling leader,” the eulogy continued.
“A dedicated father and grandfather, Marshall had high expectations for those around him. As a doting dogfather to his beloved goldendoodle Jerry, he instilled similarly high expectations. His family carries on his legacy of fierce compassion, stubborn persistence, and commitment to cheering on the Knicks. His wisdom, strength, and generosity of spirit will be remembered by the countless people whose lives he touched.”
Rose is survived by his wife Candice; his children Wendi and Andrew; his stepdaughter Chloe; and his grandchildren Alexander, Clio, Ell, Milo, Arthur, and Alice.
A representative for Bergen did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment.
Rose and Bergen, both widows, wed in June 2000. The couple were looking forward to celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary later this year. Their bond marked a second chance at love for the “Murphy Brown” star, who never imagined she’d find it again after losing her first husband, Louis Malle, in 1995. The French film director died from “an untreatable lymphoma,” according to CBS News.
Bergen avoided dating for three years and only met Rose thanks to an introduction from “60 Minutes” producer Don Hewitt and his wife, Marilyn Berger.
“Marshall was in on it,” Bergen revealed in a 2015 CBS interview. “Don and Marilyn invited me to their apartment for dinner, and then about two days before, Don called and said, ‘Oh, a man’s going to pick you up. His name is Marshall Rose.’ I said, ‘Okay.’ And I just saw Marshall and thought, Hmm.”
She had been expecting someone “short and round,” but instead, she found “a very handsome, present man,” as she put it. “And he had beautiful eyes. And I just thought, ‘I trust this man completely.’ By dessert, I was sort of in his pocket.”
In recent years, the pair shared a simple but cherished domestic life, spending many evenings together enjoying dinner and watching “The West Wing.”
“My life is a very tiny life now,” Bergen said of her and Rose’s routine in a 2020 interview with The New York Times. “I don’t mind it, frankly. For someone in their 70s, it’s not a tragedy.”
