The loss of her cherished spouse, Marshall Rose, is being mourned by Candice Bergen. At the age of 88, he died quietly on February 15 from Parkinson’s disease-related complications.
In addition to being a successful real estate developer, Marshall Rose was a philanthropist and a great civic leader who dedicated his life to improving New York City. Rose, who was born in Brighton Beach in 1937, attended City College to study economics before graduating from New York University with a law degree.
His aspirations prompted him to start The Georgetown Company in 1978, which played a crucial role in managing important projects including Madison Square Garden’s major refurbishment and Frank Gehry’s famous IAC building.
Rose then turned his attention to philanthropy, founding charter schools and serving on a number of charitable boards. His incredible 30-year tenure with the New York Public Library, where he was instrumental in several significant improvements and the revitalisation of Bryant Park, is one of his fondest accomplishments.
In addition to being a loving father and grandpa, Marshall Rose was also a wise leader who left a lasting impact in the city he loved. He was well-known for his astute advice, contagious humour, and astute mentoring.
After both Marshall and Candice Bergen had suffered the loss of their past spouses, they fell in love again. They were anticipating their 25th anniversary later this year after being married in June 2000.
Their romance, which developed following the death of her first husband, Louis Malle, in 1995, was a surprise gift to Candice. Candice and Marshall met by coincidence during a meeting set up by Don Hewitt, the producer of 60 Minutes, and his wife, Marilyn Berger. Their meeting quickly developed into a lovely romance.
The following individuals continue Marshall Rose’s legacy: his wife, Candice Bergen; his children, Andrew and Wendi; his stepdaughter, Chloe; and his grandchildren.
