Ann B. Davis, the Emmy-winning actress who is best known to millions of TV viewers as ‘Alice’ in The Brady Bunch, has passed away at the age of 88. According to CNN, Davis died following a fall in her home in San Antonio in which she hit her head and lost consciousness.
In addition to the original The Brady Bunch series, Davis reprised her role as the ever-helpful Alice in the Brady Bunch TV movies as well as two Brady Bunch spin-offs. Before tackling the role that introduced her to a younger generation of viewers in the late ’60s and early 70s, Davis earned two Emmy Awards for playing Charmaine “Schultzy” Schultz in The Bob Cummings Show in the 1950s.
After the news broke of Davis’ death, actress Susan Olsen who played Cindy Brady posted this message on her Facebook page:
I was waiting for it to reach the news before saying anything. Yes, it’s true, our beloved Ann B. passed away this morning. I loved her work even before I knew and loved her. When I was five, I got the Hong Kong flue. I missed a lot of school and stayed in bed watching TV. I loved the Bob Cummings Show because I enjoyed Ann B. in the role of his secretary “Schultzy”. I was overjoyed when I learned that I would be working with her on Brad Bunch. Already a fan, it was only icing on the cake to get to know her. She always treated us kids with respect and we knew we were working with greatness. I’m happy to know that she never lost her beautiful mind and razor sharp wit. She will be dearly missed by the many who knew her and the many more who felt like they did. I’m sure there is now a bright red sports car tearing up the clouds in heaven.
Our thoughts are with her friends and family at this difficult time.
