Starting Over In 1979

Tuesday, September 15, 2009


It was 1979 and I was living and working in Manhattan.

My childhood idol was Candice Bergen. (The only person that I wanted to look and be like as a kid)

She was filming a movie with Burt Reynolds and Jill Clayburgh. I was working in the same building that they were filming the movie, and it was a thrill for me to see C.B. over and over for weeks.
BTW, this is a hilarious film, and I believe it is her first comedic role in a movie.
She was brilliant. I am sure that her performance in this movie was a turning point in her career, and why today she is mainly remains a comedic actress.
The building (the movie 'location') was right next to where Ms. Bergen lived as well - on 72ND and Central Park West.
These are some shots of Candice Bergen's home in the city on CPW, as featured in Architectural Digest c.1979.
This view is always "in", with any decor at all.
Don't you agree ?

The leather Mexican chairs are still being sold if you can believe it.
Does the design style of her home take you back ?????

Do you remember what you were doing in 1979 ?
