Ann B. Davis, known for her role as housekeeper Alice Nelson on "The Brady Bunch," died Sunday, close friend Bishop William Frey said. She was 88.
According to Frey, Davis fell and hit her head Saturday morning in her bathroom. She suffered a subdural hematoma and never regained consciousness.
Appearing in her trademark light blue maid's uniform with a white apron, Alice anchored "The Brady Bunch" with her cheerful attitude and witty one-liners.
Davis, who won two Emmys for her role as a quick-witted secretary on the 1950s sitcom “The Bob Cummings Show,” achieved her greatest success as the Brady family’s wise-cracking but devoted housekeeper Alice Nelson.
She appeared in several Brady reunion films and spin-off series, including the 1988 television reunion movie “A Very Brady Christmas.”
