Florence Henderson

Florence Agnes Henderson (born February 14, 1934 in Dale, Indiana as one of 10 children in a Roman Catholic tobacco farmer's household) is an American actress and singer best known for playing the role of "Carol Brady" in the television program The Brady Bunch, which ran from 1969 to 1974.

It would be the role of Carol Brady, however, that would endear her to millions of Americans, even today. Ever popular, The Brady Bunch is still shown on the TV Land cable television channel, some 31 years after the last episode aired.
