Best known for her role as bubbly housekeeper “Alice Nelson” on the hit 70’s sitcom “The Brady Bunch,” Ann B. Davis passed away yesterday.
Davis was admitted to a hospital in San Antonio, Texas, where she was being treated after hitting her head in a fall. Sadly, the actress suffered a subdural hematoma and never regained consciousness.
In a 2004 interview with the Archive of American Television, Davis recalled her years wearing a light blue maid’s uniform and keeping the Brady clan together via the character.

“I made up a background story. I did have a twin sister, so I used that as a basis. … I cared very much about this family. It was my family. It was as close to my family as Alice would ever get. I would have died for any single one of them at any point,” she said. “You know, they wrote me such gorgeous things to do, as the intermediary between the kids and the adults, and between the boys and the girls. And they gave me funny things to do.”
Ann B. Davis was 88.
