When you think of The Brady Bunch, which cast member immediately comes to mind? Maybe it’s Maureen McCormick as Marcia, Marcia, Marcia; Barry Williams as he who would-be Johnny Bravo; Robert “Why Am I on This Show?” Reed as Mike Brady, or any of the others. But what about Ann B. Davis? Her character of Alice Nelson in many ways served as a foundation for the others; the person that virtually everyone else could turn to in times of need.
While there’s no denying the fact that the Brady Bunch cast ended up typecast as a result of their starring in the show and all of the reunion movies and series that followed (most recently HGTV’s A Very Brady Renovation), Ann actually had a thriving career prior to playing housekeeper Alice. In fact, she won a pair of Emmy Awards for her role of Schultzy on the 1955 to 1959 sitcom The Bob Cummings Show followed by a number of other parts on the big screen and small prior to The Brady Bunch (currently airing on the MeTV network).
