Here’s the story, of a deceased lady

Here’s the story, of a deceased ladyWho is pushing up a very lovely daisy.All of you want me to go on, but why bother?
And I am quite lazy.

Florence Henderson, the TV supermom who managed to shepherd her entire on-screen brood to adulthood, has died of heart failure at the age of 82. Henderson started her career as a singer, appearing on Broadway in Fanny and on TV in Oldsmobile commercials. She later became the first female host of a late-night talk show when she bridged the gap between Jack Paar and Johnny Carson on The Tonight Show. Henderson is best remembered as Carol Brady, widowed under suspicious circumstances with three blonde children, none of whom ever mention or seem to miss their departed father, and who immediately bestow the name “Daddy” onto Mike Brady, Carol’s newest sugar daddy, himself conveniently widowered, in the amoral saga The Brady Bunch. Her sick game came to a fitting end when she was gunned down as a special guest star on Police Squad! (in color), but not before leaving us with The Brady Bunch Hour, The Brady Girls Get Married and Brady Brides. She then accepted any role that would come along playing off or against her wholesome mom shtick: Dave’s World, King of Queens, and in her last screen role, Fifty Shades of Black.
