I never knew Ann B. Davis had a twin sister! This is a photo in a old TV Guide book I found in a used bookstore. I had to scan this photo so it is not of the best quality. It does give us a pretty good look at the twins Ann and Harriet, though.

Wow, that's interesting! Thanks for posting that!
I had no idea Ann was a twin either. If they would have made a "Pop Up" of the Sgt Emma episode, that probably would have been mentioned :)
I wonder if they ever considered casting Harriet as Cousin Emma? :)

Yes, I read awhile back that Ann B. Davis had a twin sister. Is Harriet still alive?

I thought about that too! Apparently Harriet was not the showbiz type.

According to:

"Ann B. Davis played Alice on the BRADY BUNCH and is an identical twin. She first became a doctor, then followed her twin sister Harriet into acting."
According to TV Land's website, "Ann originally wanted to be a doctor. She studied pre-Med at the University of Michigan while her twin sister simultaneously took acting courses there. After seeing her older brother perform in the play "Oklahoma!," Ann was bitten by the acting bug too, and switched her majors."
