Florence Henderson has passed away at 82
 

Florence Henderson who played the mom to 6 children on the Brady Bunch has passed away at Cedar Sinai Hospital on Thursday night. The wholesome actress and singer passed away from heart failure.


Quote: On the surface, "The Brady Bunch" resembled just another innocuous TV sitcom about a family living in suburban America and getting into a different wacky situation each week. But well after it ended its initial run, in 1974, the show resonated with audiences, and it returned to television in various forms again and again, including "The Brady Bunch Hour" in 1977, "The Brady Brides" in 1981 and "The Bradys" in 1990. It was also seen endlessly in reruns. "It represents what people always wanted: a loving family. It's such a gentle, innocent, sweet show, and I guess it proved there's always an audience for that," Henderson said in 1999.
