Florence Henderson, "The Brady Bunch" mom, dies

Source: AP

LOS ANGELES
Florence Henderson, the wholesome actress who went from Broadway star to television icon when she became Carol Brady, the ever-cheerful mom residing over "The Brady Bunch," has died. She was 82.

She died surrounded by family and friends, her manager, Kayla Pressman, said in a statement late Thursday.

Millions loved, and kept on loving, the innocent sitcom about a blended family. "The Brady Bunch," first aired in 1969, returned to television in various forms again and again, including "The Brady Bunch Hour" in 1977, "The Brady Brides" in 1981 and "The Bradys" in 1990. It was also seen endlessly in reruns.

As a member of a three boy, three girl family during the 60s and 70s we were constantly referred to as the Brady bunch. And I was the youngest boy named Robert. Sad day, and yes 2016 has sucked on so many fronts!

She had roles in the musicals:
Oklahoma
The Sound of Music
South Pacific
The King and I

Those were all very successful musicals of the 50's and 60's

82, a good age after a good life.
