THE BRADY BUNCH
Ann B. Davis was an American actress who is best known for playing the housekeeper, Alice Nelson on family television series The Brady Bunch (1969-1974). She also appeared on The Bob Cummings Sow (1955-1959), The Brady Bunch Movie (1995), and The Love Boat (1980).
Davis was born in Schenectady, New York, US and had an identical twin, Harriet. When she was aged three, her family moved to Pennsylvania. She initially wanted to have a medical career, but changed her mind and studied drama and speech.
In 1976, Davis got involved in a religious community (cult?) in Denver, Colorado. The group was led by Evangelical bishop William C. Frey. Davis sold her home in Los Angeles to join the group and later moved to western Pennsylvania with the group and then to Texas.
Davis died in 2014, aged 88, in a hospital in San Antonio, Texas. Earlier that day she had a fall in her bathroom and had subdural hematoma. She was said to have been in good health at the time and her death came as a shock to those close to her.
