After his father died, when Edgar was 16, he went out to work as an apprentice accountant, a furnace stoker, a player-piano operator, and a projectionist in a silent-movie house. </p><p>Edgar so impressed the famous ventriloquist <a href="/wiki/Harry_Lester_(ventriloquist)" class="mw-redirect" title="Harry Lester (ventriloquist)">Harry Lester</a> that he gave the teenager almost daily lessons for three months in the fundamentals of ventriloquism. In the fall of 1919, Edgar paid Chicago woodcarver Theodore Mack $36 to sculpt a likeness of a rascally red-headed Irish <a href="/wiki/Newspaper_hawker" title="Newspaper hawker">newspaper boy</a> he knew.

He lived across the street from the church. In 1965, he gave the church a generous contribution, a thoughtful letter, and a photograph of himself which had been requested by the minister and was displayed in the church's assembly room which was dedicated to Bergen. He cut out an "R" and a "G" from his family name and went from Berggren to Bergen on the showbills. Between June 1922 and August 1925, he performed every summer on the professional <a href="/wiki/Chautauqua_circuit" class="mw-redirect" title="Chautauqua circuit">Chautauqua circuit</a> and at the Lyceum theater in Chicago.

"I'd chased my father's approval all my life, and here was proof I'd never get it," the actress wrote. "I was hurt, shocked, when I discovered he had left me out of his will." She further explained that her father had provided this inheritance for the dummy so that the funds could be managed, invested, and reinvested to provide for his future performances. She said her father wrote in his will: "I make this provision for sentimental reasons, which to me are vital due to the association with Charlie McCarthy, who has been my constant companion and who has taken on the character of a real person and from whom I have never been separated even for a day." Throughout the book, she suggested that her father seemed to have a stronger kinship with Charlie than with her. The dummy "dominated" her childhood, she explained, and even had his own bedroom in their house. "Those were unique circumstances to grow up in," she wrote. "Sometimes I have to give myself credit for being a functional human being. I knew my father loved me, but with his Swedish reserve, it wasn't his nature to tell me."<sup id="cite_ref-18" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-18"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>18<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>A message in the <a href="/wiki/Closing_credits" title="Closing credits">closing credits</a> dedicates <i><a href="/wiki/The_Muppet_Movie" title="The Muppet Movie">The Muppet Movie</a></i> (which featured Bergen and Charlie in their last screen appearance) to the memory and magic of Bergen.
