Candice Bergen recalls blind date with Donald Trump

Actress Candice Bergen apparently once had the chance to be part of Donald Trump’s billion-dollar empire.

“We had a blind date in college,” she told People magazine Thursday night. “It was a very short evening.”

She and Trump attended the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School of Business.

The “Murphy Brown” star, who reportedly will be voting for Hillary Clinton in the next presidential election, said that while the date itself is hazy for her, she will never forget Trump’s style.

“I have no memory of it,” Bergen said. “I just remember that he was wearing a three-piece burgundy suit, and burgundy boots and a burgundy limousine. He was very coordinated.”

She went on to criticize his political clout.

“I thought it was funnier a few months ago,” Bergen said Trump’s presidential bid. “Now it’s worrying.”

Trump reminisced about being shot down by Bergen when he initially asked her out in an August 2015 Boston Globe interview.

“She was so beautiful,” he said. “She was dating guys from Paris, France, who were 35 years old, the whole thing. I did make the move. And I must say she had the good sense to say, ‘Absolutely not.’ ”
