Long before she became a TV-perfected mother on "The Brady Bunch," Florence Henderson was a precocious musical theater star. The youngest of 10 children, she left home at 17 and at 19 landed the title role in the 1954 Broadway hit "Fanny," which had an 888-performance run. Henderson has rarely stopped working since. She did time as a "Today Girl" on the NBC morning show, filled in as the first female guest host of "The Tonight Show," cooked for nine seasons on the Nashville Network's "Country Kitchen" and toured the country in such musical theater perennials as "South Pacific" and "The Sound of Music."

The mother of four by her first of two husbands, Henderson, 75, is a licensed hypnotherapist and founder of the Floh Club, a service and product company for seniors.

And she also had Wessonality! ;)

I thumbed through my copy of the 1992 book Bradymania, and it mentions this fact. I love Flo - yes, she still has Wessonality!! :cool: :D

Not that I can't imagine-lol She doesn't strike me as HOST material, actually nobody on that show does-lol
