IN MEMORIAM | Ann B. Davis




Although she enjoyed success in the 1950's on the Bob Cummings show, it would be when she took on the iconic role of Alice on the Brady Bunch that would make Ann B. Davis a household name.  

The Brady Bunch was the story of a lovely lady, a man named Brady and their collective six children, but it was Davis as the family's maid Alice, who often kept the whole blooming Brady Bunch under control, during the series 5 year run on ABC from 1969 - 1974.  The Brady's success would live on through TV movies, a painfully pathetic variety show and numerous sequels, many of which Ann reprized her infamous Alice character.

Davis passed away on June 1st, following a severe fall. Her death came as a shock to her friends, who said she was in excellent health for someone her age. Fans worldwide were also saddened by her departure.

Ann B. Davis never married nor was she ever romantically linked to anyone, once claiming she never found a man more exciting than her career.

The Brady Bunch is still seen in syndication around the world, including TV Land and Me TV in the U.S. 

Davis was 88 years old.
