Ann B. Davis, Alice Nelson on ‘The Brady Bunch.’
It is with sadness that I report the death of actress, Ann B. Davis. Davis was much beloved and best-known for playing housekeeper, Alice Nelson on The Brady Bunch (1969-1974). Less-remembered is that Davis also won two Emmy awards for her work as Schultzy on The Bob Cummings Show in the 1950s.
Davis, who celebrated her 88th birthday in May, reportedly fell and suffered a head injury today and never regained consciousness.
Regular readers of this site know that I’m a big Brady fan and the character of Alice was always a particular favorite. It was mostly the varied talents of Davis that made the family housekeeper seem so lovable and multifaceted. Thank you Ms. Davis for the entertainment and memories! Enjoy some Davis/Alice clips below.

“Beer makes it good. Schlitz makes it great.”
Alrighty, today we’ve got beer commercials on tap. First up, a spot for Tuborg Gold linking Viking archery to modern day darts. After that, a Schlitz commercial with a state fair theme. Both spots aired in October of 1978. Quaff with gusto.
