[Jeff Willis]

RIP for the housekeeper in the "Brady Bunch" TV series (1969-74).

Wow. I saw the subject line before I came into this thread and feared she had passed. I loved her in everything she ever did. May she RIP. I will be watching an episode of The Brady Bunch in her honor tonight.

One of my favorite supporting characters...RIP Alice.

 

[Bob_S.]

So very sad. RIP Alice.

Saw it on Facebook as I was coming home. At least she lived a full life.

 

[Matt Hough]

An Emmy winner for Love That Bob in an era when there were many, many great female second bananas on television. Loved her always. She will be missed.

 

[Gary OS]

And a great person in real life to boot. She will indeed be missed.

I think she had a much better part in The Bob Cummings Show than she did with The Brady Bunch. It showcased her talents better. I was very sorry to hear about her passing.

I am not a Brady Bunch fan to the extent others are but admired Ms. Davis's work. Her earlier role with Bob Cummings is unfortunately forgotton today but gave her the recognition and star power that helped land her the role that made her a household name.

She also seemed to be a wonderful person in real life whose faith and decency are to be much admired. From what I've read her death was a tragic accident which is even sadder because she was still living a vibrant full life. I saw clips on You Tube recently of her as she was today and she was clearly loving life.

Did she do many movies? I think she's in the Doris Day/Rock Hudson movie 'Lover Come Back', if I'm not mistaken.

 

[Susan Nunes_329977]

Her work in The Bob Cummings show shouldn't be forgotten, for she won two Emmy awards for her role as Schultzy.

Just because some cult has grown around The Brady Bunch doesn't mean it was all that as a sitcom.

She was in that film.

It appears from her filmography she didn't do a whole lot of big screen work. Her work was mostly television series and television movies.

She was a two-time Emmy winner for THE BOB CUMMINGS SHOW (LOVE THAT BOB), in a much bigger role than she did on THE BRADY BUNCH. I always thought of her as Schultzy. She also replaced Carol Burnett in the musical ONCE UPON A MATTRESS.

I continue to love her work on The Brady Bunch, one of my all-time favorite shows. It's also a show my wife and children really enjoy. When I put an episode of that show on the other night after I heard the news, my kids were a bit surprised because we had been working our way steadily through another show. After one of the more memorable 'Alice' episodes concluded, I told them the news and what I have read with regard to how her death occurred.

Sad to hear what happened. She carried THE BRADY BUNCH, IMHO.

The re-watchability of THE BRADY BUNCH for me is high. I think my favorite Alice episode is the one where she thinks the kids don't like her anymore and she leaves.

Carabimero,And that just happens to be the episode (season four) that I watched in her honor last night. Good choice!

Apparently CNN put up a picture of her counterpart from the parody film The Brady Bunch Movie. Someone called that lady and said Don't look now! You're on CNN! or something like that. lol

Oh, HERE it is...

Like Russell Johnson, I was very very happy knowing these actors were still around. Loosing too many great ones lately. Davis seemed like a super person, like her character on BB. I know her jokes were often silly, but when she really had some meaningful lines on the show, usually a little sit down with one of the kids, she delivered them beautifully.

You hit it on the head...one of my favorites is the locket episode with Jan. The "middle sister" bond was a great, but not overly done story.

That's exactly what I was thinking about. The locket episode. Good BB there...
