I saw a commercial and an ad in a magazine, for those cleaning cloths "Swiffers." I couldn't tell if that was actually Ann B. Davis or a lookalike in the ads, especially the magazine print ad.

If it WAS a lookalike, they should've used HER for the recent Brady Bunch spoof movies, because she looks more like Alice than the other actress!

I just saw that commercial today and yes it does look like her. I couldn't tell for sure though. Ann B. Davis has to be getting along in years and the lady in the commercial didn't look that old.

It is indeed Ann B. Davis in the Swiffer ads; the ad also features actors who played domestic help in other series, like "The Jeffersons" and "Soap". They've merely dyed Ann's hair (or had her use a wig), and used soft-focus (or possibly digital effects) to make her look more like she did when she was on "The Brady Bunch"

I thought that was her. I knew they did something to her to make her look younger. She is in her 70's.

Ann B Davis turned 78 on May 5th of this year...


Are you folks sure that it's her in those ads? I've heard that it's not actually Ann B Davis in those ads, but rather the lady who played Alice in the Brady Bunch movies...("The Brady Bunch Movie" and "A Very Brady Sequel").

After what I've heard from Ann Davis in interviews during the last few years, I find it hard to believe that she would recreate the role of Alice, even in a commercial...

But it would make sense that it's her, given the other ex-maids/butlers that are in this commercial... (I've only seen part of the commercial once, so I haven't actually seen Alice in it)...I don't pay much attention to commercials.

I'll have to keep a sharp eye out for that commercial next time it's on...

That was Ann B. Davis although it might be old footage used of her. These commercials any more even have dead people appearing in them so you can't be sure. She looked just like she did on The Brady Bunch.

I saw a recent picture of her and she didnt seem to age much!! She is like a female Tony Randall!!

I saw the commercial last night and that is indeed Ann B. Davis.

Nice to see Alice back on TV. I thought she had retired from showbiz.

A while ago "Entertainment Tonight" was on the set of the filming of that commercial and they interviewed the actors in it. Don't ask what Ann B. Davis said, I don't remember. (Rats!) And TV Guy (as usual :) ) is correct--they definitely fixed her up to make her more closely resemble her 1970's Alice character. It was funny seeing her interview as well as "ET" showing her bit in the commercial. You could see how obvious it was that she was fixed up.

I recognize Alice, Benson, Geoffery (Fresh Prince) and Florence (The Jeffersons). But who is the one lady in the lounge chair? She looks like Jackee from 227. Who is the actress or what show is she from?

The actress is Shelley Morrison, and she recently has played Rosario, Karen Walker's maid, on Will & Grace. That's the only character in the commercial who's appeared in a sitcom that's still on the air now. I haven't seen her on the show lately, but then I don't see Will & Grace too often.
