Florence Henderson, "The Brady Bunch" mom, dies

LOS ANGELES (AP) — 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.

Very sad! Prayers to her friends and family. I heard she stayed close to most of the kids on the show through out the years, I think that's pretty amazing.

I picked this to be my first Christmas movie of the season in memory of her. My thoughts are with her family.
