Family time and Instagram scrolling in quarantine
Today, Bergen is doing what most septuagenarians are doing in quarantine, spending time with family while also trying to figure out technology. (Before our call, she had a “technological nightmare” trying to join a Zoom call with TODAY’s Hoda Kotb, Streep and Wiest, something she said was “humiliating.”)
While she hasn’t quite figured out Zoom, she’s fallen hard for Instagram. “I have wasted countless hours on Instagram,” she said. “I love the glimpses that it gives you into people's lives. I don’t really follow anyone, just sort of see what floats up on my screen.”
Bergen offers a glimpse into her own life on the photo- and video-sharing service with her popular Bergen Bags project, for which she paints delicate drawings on vintage designer bags. All the proceeds go to a good cause, including many animal charities.
Also on her feed? Photos of her darling grandson, Arthur Louis Albert. Her daughter, Chloe Malle, gave birth to him in May, and Bergen’s feed suggests she was made for the role of doting grandmother.
“It was very fraught,” Bergen said of her daughter's birth happening during the early months of the pandemic. “I walked her to the hospital from the gynecologist, and then she had a very difficult time for a few weeks, and that was very stressful.”
But Bergen adds what she is loving most about being a grandmother is seeing her daughter become a mother. “What's lovely is seeing her become such a natural mom,” she explained. “She is so patient and loving with him. It’s great. And her face has changed, and her voice is lowered. She is so good. She is also a worker bee, but she is just so loving taking care of this baby.”
Bergen is looking forward to the future with her grandson, and it comes as no surprise that she is most excited about teaching him a thing or two.
“I'm looking forward to him being older,” she said. “I have lots of conversations with myself all the time with him. Like on the plane, I was thinking of how I would take him to Japan and explain the Japanese and all the contradictions, and I will take him to Kyoto.
“I have a barn near him and I'm going to have classes. I'm going to have a whiteboard and I'm going to explain the sun and the moon and the Earth's rotation. He is going to be working."
