# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Bergen started as a fashion model, landing on Vogue's cover before her screen debut in The Group in 1966. She moved through '70s films like The Sand Pebbles, Carnal Knowledge, and The Wind and the Lion, then earned an Oscar nomination for Starting Over in 1979 and a BAFTA nod for Gandhi in 1982. Murphy Brown arrived in 1988 and ran a decade, collecting five Emmys and two Golden Globes. She took Shirley Schmidt through five seasons of Boston Legal, appeared in three Sex and the City episodes, and cycled through comedies — Miss Congeniality, Sweet Home Alabama, Book Club. Broadway pulled her in for Hurlyburly in 1984 and revivals of The Best Man and Love Letters years later. The Murphy Brown revival came in 2018, thirty years after the first season.
