It didn’t take long for Florence Henderson to hit Variety‘s radar after she moved to New York from her childhood home in Kentucky to pursue a career on the stage. She was dubbed “the blonde charmer” in one of her earliest mentions in the showbiz bible.
Henderson, who died Thursday at 82, was inextricably linked with the ever-cheerful TV mom that she played for five seasons (and in countless revivals) on the ABC sitcom “The Brady Bunch” from 1969-74. But she had a busy career as an actress and singer for nearly 20 years before she became Carol Brady. She did Broadway, regional theater, touring productions, all manner of TV shows and had recording contracts with Kapp Records and RCA’s Camden label
