Ann B. Davis dies

Ann B. Davis, who played Alice on The Brady Bunch, died today as a result of a fall in her home. She was 88.

I love this quote from the link above.
“I’m convinced we all have a God-shaped space in us, and until we fill that space with God, we’ll never know what it is to be whole,”
Ann B. Davis

 I like her on The Brady Bunch. Sad to hear about Ann's passing. Rest In Peace, Ann.

She was great in that show

First Reuben Kincaid, now Alice. Goodbye Ann B...you will be missed!    

I was shocked to hear of this. What a tremendous loss.

She was one of those actress's that was always more talented than given credit for...2 Emmy's though!

RIP Ann. SHe was one of my favorite parts of the Brady Bunch.


I watched an interview on the Today show this morning with Barry Williams, and he was remembering Ann and talking about how much fun it was to work with her in a television series. Ann will be greatly missed.

That is so beautiful. And so true.

Thank you for sharing that. I love what Marlee Matlin said!  


I know 'Alice' was a comic character, but the scenes I loved the most with her were her sensitive scenes---she delivered some beautiful moments, sometimes the main source of comfort to 'the kids'. She really was a lovely actress. Sounds like a lovely person in 'real life' too, who lived her life 'well'.

   Such a tragic loss....heard she fell and hit her head, while in her bathroom. She was a great actress and one of my favorites on The Brady Bunch....she was always there for the kids.....ALWAYS! She will be missed.....

Just found out that she was a day younger than my dad.

That just doesn't seem fair!!   I was reading that Florence Henderson talked to her a few months ago and she was doing great at the time. It makes you wonder how many years she may have had left, had this not happened.  

I LOVED the Brady Bunch as a very young kid. My Dad even recorded the theme song for me so I could listen to it whenever I wanted to.

Funny story: I was about 4 yrs old. We lived in a small town called Star City, Ar. My Dad was minister at a very small church there. One day my mom said she had a lot of house work to do.( Meaning, for me to go play and stay out of the way.) She was knee deep in laundry and working on that when I heard her scream. Running into the kitchen I saw that she was trying to put out a grease fire. She ran out the back door with the skillet ( which she has learned since, you are never supposed to do. Putting it out with baking soda is the way to do that.) and came back in with a smoky looking face. Mom sat down at the dining table to catch her breath. I looked at her and asked: " Can we get Alice to come to our house?" Mom knew who I was talking about. She grinned and said " GO FIND HER PLEASE!"
That has always been a joke when there is a lot to do.

Ann was such a sweet actress and yes, her tender moments , not just her funny ones meant so much. She will always make me smile.

Love that!   Yes, I think we've all had those moments where we could have used an 'Alice' in our lives!!  

I could have used a Marcia.  

Panning....  

 Yes! A house keeper who cares!
