Candice Bergen's bestselling 1984 memoir: an engaging, intelligent,
and wittily self-deprecating autobiography (The New York Times).
Candice Bergen was born into the heady Hollywood of the 1950s,
where celebrity offspring were celebrities unto themselves. And
because she was the daughter of Edgar Bergen, vaudeville and
radio's greatest dignitary/comedian, her sibling was Charlie
McCarthy, the impudent dummy beloved of millions. Bergen--much as
he loved his daughter--was a man who kept his emotions pressed and
neatly hung, and was more comfortable speaking to--and through--his
brainchild who never had to grow up and leave the paradise that was
childhood.
Knock Wood is a book all about growing up--about the comedy of
expectations that ruled Candice Bergen's early life, about the
ironies that attended her exotic rites of passage. She stepped out
into a world that offered her a wealth of options: adolescence in
Swiss boarding schools; at nineteen, costarring opposite Steve
McQueen in The Sand Pebbles; quick entry into the profession of
photojournalism; automatic acceptance among the esteemed company of
the moment--be it the international jet set, Bel Air in the 1960s,
or the world that was radical politics in the 1970s. But always she
carried the conviction that her gifts were untested, her luck
unearned.
Told with wit, self-deprecation, and a rare degree of courage,
Knock Wood is the extraordinary record of Candice Bergen's coming
of age. It is at once the moving fable of the love between a father
and a daughter, of a woman's triumph over self-doubt, and a
dazzling journal of America's life and times over the past four
decades.
