Posted Sep 28th 2006 2:34PM by TMZ Staff

Despite reports swirling around the Internet, legendary actress Candice Bergen has not had a stroke.

Her publicist Heidi Schaeffer tells TMZ that Candice suffered a bout with high blood pressure and was hospitalized "for a few days" for observation as a precaution. She is now on medication, is back at work and is just fine.

The award-winning actress can be seen on ABC's popular Emmy winning show "Boston Legal."

2. Her publicist says she didn't have a stroke--and you buy that as truth? Get real. She may or may not have had one, but a publicist's job has nothing to do with truth and her statement means nothing. What does mean something is fact she was admitted to hospital "for a few days" for observation over high blood pressure--what! you don't get admitted to a hospital for "days" for high blood pressure in this day and age unless you've had an incident of some kind--dizziness, pains, etc. or a pressure reading that has skyrocketed to off-the-chart heights. A stroke, which isn't always easy to detect, is an obvious possibility and clearly something quite troubling happened to Candice. Change your headline.

5. Come on TMZ you can't put a classy actress like Candice Bergen on this site. Most of the posters here are morons that can't relate to a real actress with chops. Give them Paris or Lindsay, that's about their speed. You do Ms. Bergen a disfavor. But from the hand full of us with taste thank you.

6. Strokes come in all sizes. FromTIA's to massive and death. Perhaps she has suffered a medium TIA. I hope not; I wish her well, and years and years of good health.

8. I notice some very negative comments concerning whether or not she had a stroke. Keep in mind that high blood pressure is considerd the "silent killer". Any of you could be waliking around with high blood pressure. Just pray that someone cares a little more about you if you or one of your family members becomes the victim of a stroke.
