‘Brady Bunch’ mom dies aged 82
Print Edition
VETERAN actress Florence Henderson, best known to a generation of baby boomers as all-American mother Carol Brady in the 1970s sitcom “The Brady Bunch,” has died aged 82.
Maureen McCormick, who played Henderson’s oldest daughter, Marcia, in the show and in many sequels, said on Twitter: “Florence Henderson was a dear friend for so very many years & in my (heart) forever ... I’ll miss u dearly.”
McCormick was a contestant in the dance competition “Dancing With the Stars” this season and Henderson attended a taping of the show just days ago.
Henderson died with family and friends at her side, the Associated Press reported, citing her manager Kayla Pressman. The cause of death was not detailed.
Henderson starred in the ground-breaking television series about a woman with three daughters who married a widower with three sons.
She first graced television screens in the 1950s following a role in the musical “Carousel” in 1949 and other musical theater hits including “South Pacific” and the title role in “Fanny.”
But it was the 1969 premiere of “The Brady Bunch” that made her a household name.
The series made its debut amid cultural tumult in the US but remained invariably cheery and avoided controversy during its five seasons on the ABC network.
