"Murphy Brown" star Candice Bergen, who flunked out of the University of Pennsylvania in 1965, returned to pick up an honorary law degree.
The 46-year-old actress, in cap and gown, thrust her fists skyward after the hood signifying her degree was draped across her shoulders at commencement exercises Monday.Bergen, whose TV character gave birth on Monday's season-ending episode, entered Penn in 1963. School officials "politely asked me to move on" after the sophomore year, she said. She had flunked basic painting and opera.
"I always did respect them for that. That was a very strong lesson," she said. "But then they kept asking me for donations. I didn't give."
