Candice Bergen was the golden daughter of ventrilo- quist Edgar Bergen and his wife, Frances. She was a cele- brity child who reaped fantasy Christmas presents from “Uncle Walt” Disney, but had to share her father with a wooden doll. Often Bergen, then the toast of radio, sat young Candy and the sassy Charlie on either knee, squeezing the backs of their necks while they moved their mouths. As the improbably “brother” and “sister” soundlessly conversed with flapping lips, Bergen spoke for both of them. It was tough growing up with a wooden star who even sat at the dinner table. It was tougher still idolizing a father she had trouble telling: “I love you.” Miss Bergen was not able to mutter those three words to her father's face until a few years before his death in 1978. It has taken her close to eight years to write about her coming of age in her new book, Knock Wood (The Linden Press, $15.95). She began writing it when she was 30. “This book was freeing,” she said in an interview at the West Side apartment she shares with her husband, film- maker Louis Malle. “You really don't have much to hide after doing it. The book began a process of growing up that never ends. “The hardest part of my book was reckoning the rela- tionship with my father,” she said. “But once you've made the commitment, you're honor bound to finish it. You have to go forward and not backward.” The book, a poignant and witty account written by Miss Bergen in a lively and often self-deprecating style, has yanked the actress from a self-imposed literary sabbatical and encouraged her to re-examine acting. Right now, after spending two years doing little else than the book, she says she's a little “rusty” about acting. “I guess the best thing to do is to go back to class,” she said with a sigh. “If I found a class that was small enough and comfortable to be in, I'd go, and especially if I had a chara- eter to work on. That’s fun. You become a detective — stalking people in the city, looking at how they behave, listening to accents.” But that was not the dream that filled Miss Bergen's Beverly Hills nights when she was young. Nor was it the discipline she wished to pursue at the University of Pennsy- Ivania. Candice Bergen, show biz royalty, thought more in | terms of gutsy and glamorous Brenda Starr: She wanted to be a photojournalist.

Movies were something you paid to see, not live in, and were hard besides, like homework — black and white and boring and in French.” Miss Bergen learned about photography from a grad- uate student and quickly focused her camera on the world, touring Africa, Europe and the Orient. But she just 9s quickly disggvered she lacked the dedication to make it a career. Her modelling led to her first film role, that of Lakey, the lesbian coed in the 1965 movie, The Group. “The picture couldn't have been better for me,” she said in a 1986 interview. “How can you fail when you have only five minutes of scenes, play a controversial role and make a striking appearance? It was over before the audience had a chance to ask, “Can she act?” The question haunted her through subsequent movies, until Carnal Knowledge in 1971. Later, in 1979, Miss Bergen displayed a talent for comedy and character portrayal in Starting Over, and was lauded for her work in 1981's Rich and Famous. “T look at all the opportunities given to me: Out of fear and uneasiness. I didn't make the most of them,” she said. “I never did anything disciplined in my life, and it really knocked the socks off me,” she said. Though she had written articles for Esquire and other " publications over the years, and was'confident about her’ writing, Miss Bergen saiod the book was the hardest thing she’s ever done, “TI was totally ignorant of how difficult it could be,” she said. “I feel I did this as best I could.” Buffalo Bill in trouble NEW YORK (AP) — It is likely NBC will be cancelling two shows with one pink slip. Buffalo Bill, the comedy about the obnoxious Bill Bit- ted Buffalo Bill, actually get- ting off the couch to switch off Bill's: outrageousness. NBC has been concerned before live audiences, don't need coaxing from a machine. Besides this trend toward homogenized humor, Holly- wood still insults audiences In fact, this series’ style of with one of mankind's most humor made it a highly in- since the show's tinger and his egocentric TV. that Buffalo Bill was going to — appropriate candidate for a laugh tracks. These loud and laugh track. boorish mechanical convul- talk show, The Buffalo Bill Show, is in trouble — and all the laugh tracks the network forces on the producers will not save either show. Although the real Buffalo Bill has won critical raves and a loyal, albeit small, following who revel in Dabney Cole- man’s antagonistic anti-hero, an NBC source said con- sistently low ratings have dimmed the chances of seeing the series returned to NBC's fall schedule. Given one of the few com- fortable “hammock” spots on NBC's schedule, Thursday nights between Cheers and Hill Street Blues, it’s clear viewers have actively rejec- Everyone welcome.

The network knew that viewers who were ques- tioned by the network were turned off by Bill's totally unrepentant and unredeem- able behavior. That’s too bad. Buffalo Bill is daringly funny exactly the way it is, but the fact it hasn't been accepted is just one more reflection of television's numbing, warping influence. It’s not enough that sitcoms often are mindlessly bland, but now their characters -must be sickeningly likable, in order to appeal to the broadcast audiences.

Flight 501 was one of about 30 daily shuttle flights and Calgary that-Pacific Western says Jim Stewart, head of Transport Canada’s major accident investigation team, said his Ottawa-based staff has a long list of leads to chase down before any conclusions are possible. He said officials will interview the five-member flight crew of the ill-fated plane, examine the blackened remains of the $16-million aircraft, listen to voice and data record tapes, Industry will fight for volunteers PRINCE GEORGE (CP) — The British Columbia health industry will fight hard to keep volunteers in hospitals and other health-related ser- vices, says Peter McAllister, president. of the Health, Le- bor Relations Association of B.C. McAllister’s comments came on the heels of a de- cision in Quesnel in which unionized hospital employees won an arbitrated case to limit the use of volunteers. “If our ability to use vol- unteers is limited, services will be curtailed,” McAllister said in an interview during a one-day meeting here with health care officials. “In most cities, volunteers perform a wide variety of ation, which negotiates for 165 employers with 40,000 unionized. employees, _-has asked the minister of labor to make several changes to the B.C.

NDP prepares for election VANCOUVER (CP) — The federal New Democratic Party is going to spend $55,000 on a two-week radio, newspaper and billboard ad- vertising campaign to pre- pare for the next election.

Pilot Stan Fleming pulled the plane to a-stop and the passengers and crew scrambled to safety as flames engulfed the aircraft. MINOR INJURIES No one died, but 26 people were taken to hospital. Their injuries were mostly minor, such as the smoke inhalation suffered by a flight attendant who crawled through the smoke-filled cabin to ensure all the passengers had escaped. One passenger fractured his heels leaping from the wing to the runway. Witnesses and passengers said they heard a loud bang just, before the fire wrapped around the left engine and Stewart said that lead will be investigated carefully. Although ig! ‘sr d to th in less than a minute, pouring thousands of litres of water and foam on the aircraft, the flames left the plane a charred wreck.

Airline spokesman Jack Lawless said they may have a statement later. In addition to the Transport Canada inquiry, officials from the National Safety Board are looking into the accident. As well, Boeing Aircraft Corp. of Seattle, maker of the plane, and Pratt and Whitney Corp., which produces the engines, will have representatives on hand. The U.S. Federal Aviation Authority and National Safety Transportation Board will also look into the accident. trash bus VANCOUVER (cP) — Fans of heavy metal rock singer Ozzy Osbourne trash ed a Metro Transit bus after a concert at the Pacific Col- iseum Friday. “They took the bus apart,” said a Vancouver police offi- cer. Bus supervisors then got mad and ordered drivers to refuse to let the rest of the concert crowd board the buses lined up outside the Pacific National Exhibition. “People had to find their way home last night,” the spokesman said. “There were a~ lot of pnhappy parents phoning us. The bulk of them were asking if their children were in jail.” The police officer said the incident began when the Col- iseum, with a seating capacity of 16,000 to 17,000 began em- ptying at about 11 p.m. As usual, Metro Transit had ar- ranged to have a number of buses waiting nearby.
