Heartbreaking loss strikes renowned actress as husband passes away at 88 due to illness

The entertainment world and beyond are mourning the loss of a cherished individual, a devoted partner to a renowned actress.

Known for significant contributions to the real estate industry, he passed away at the age of 88 after bravely facing a long illness.

Surrounded by family and loved ones, he passed peacefully at home.


Marshall Rose's life was one marked by success, philanthropy, and a deep commitment to his family.

He is survived by his wife Candice, their children Wendi and Andrew, his stepdaughter Chloe, and his cherished grandchildren Alexander, Clio, Ell, Milo, Arthur, and Alice.

Known for his wisdom, strength, and generosity of spirit, Rose was a figure of respect and admiration to all who knew him.

His philanthropic efforts were particularly notable, with decades of dedicated service on the New York Public Library board.

His legacy is one of fierce compassion, stubborn persistence, and an unwavering commitment to cheering on the New York Knicks, a passion that those close to him fondly remember.


Born in Brighton Beach in 1937, Rose's journey was one of education and ambition.

He studied economics at City College before pursuing a law degree at NYU.

His professional life was distinguished by his founding of The Georgetown Company in 1978.

He was a non-profit real estate developer responsible for several significant projects, including Frank Gehry's IAC building and the renovation of Madison Square Garden.

The loss of Marshall Rose is deeply felt, not only by his family but by the many lives he touched through his work and philanthropy.

His funeral, held on 18 February at Central Synagogue in New York, was a testament to the impact he had on his community and the love and respect he garnered throughout his life.


Candice Bergen, his wife, is a celebrated actress known for her iconic role in the CBS sitcom Murphy Brown, which earned her five Emmy Awards and two Golden Globes.

Her career spans decades, with memorable performances in Sex and the City as Vogue editor Enid Frick, a role she reprised in the spin-off series And Just Like That.

Her film credits include Carnal Knowledge, Bride Wars, Miss Congeniality, and Sweet Home Alabama.

Before her marriage to Rose, Bergen was married to Louis Malle, who passed away in 1995 from cancer.

Her strength and resilience through personal loss have been an inspiration to many, and the support she provided to her husband during his battle with Parkinson's disease speaks volumes about her character and love.

As we reflect on the life and legacy of Marshall Rose, we are reminded of the courage it takes to face life's most significant challenges.


His story, interwoven with his wife's illustrious career and personal strength, is one of true partnership and perseverance.

We extend our heartfelt condolences to Candice Bergen and her family during this difficult time.

We also recognise the many among us who may be facing similar battles with Parkinson's disease or supporting loved ones through their struggles.

You are not alone, and your stories of courage and love are just as important.

I didn't know of him either. Obviously an extremely talented man indeed.
Absolutely no doubt, he'll be missed by his family.
Unfortunately, this happens in all families.
Yes, "Parko's" is an insidious illness.
I knew a few people who had it.
As we age, it's "Luck Of The Draw" in many instances.
