Florence Henderson dead at 82

Post by Scooter »

(CNN) She was one of America's moms, a television icon that endured through generations. Florence Henderson, who played Carol Brady on "The Brady Bunch," died Thursday from heart failure at the age of 82.

Her death was unexpected. Henderson had not been sick, her manager, Kayla Pressman, said. Just this week, Henderson attended a taping of ABC's "Dancing with the Stars" to cheer on Maureen McCormick, who played her TV daughter Marcia Brady.
Henderson had also had made some TV and movie appearances this year.
"We are all in a state of shock," said Pressman, who spoke with the actress Wednesday night. Henderson died in a Los Angeles hospital surrounded by family and friends.

I almost posted this someplace else, then I remembered to check here first.

Next to June Cleaver, she was one of television's great moms.

Your collective inability to acknowledge this obvious truth makes you all look like fools.

Yeah she was pretty good, but she couldn't speak Jive.

She once said that most American mothers hated her because their kids wished that their moms were like her.

No wonder Carol Brady was hated. She wasn't quite the conventional mom. Wouldn't it be great to find she died riding the baloney pony?

Come on RT, next you'll be telling me that hanging from a pull-up bar will not make you taller.
