Those who only thought of Florence Henderson as the mom on The Brady Bunch…boy, did you miss a helluva career: Broadway. Movies. Other TV programs and plenty of TV movies. Concerts. She even had a cooking show for a while. She was in some awful productions but I sure never saw her be awful in anything. She was a fine musical comedy performer and that's not easy to be because you have to be able to sing and act and dance and most actors can do one or maybe two of those things. She could do it all.
If you never got to meet her, here's what you should know: She was very smart, utterly aware of her image and quite ready to screw with it and act "against type." She had a good sense of humor about herself and everything and was totally professional.
I can't think of a single anecdote about her being difficult or stuck-up or in any way the cause of trouble. The few times I worked with her, she was an absolute delight. Sometimes, they really are as nice as they seem to be on television.
