Davis lived out her final years peacefully in San Antonio.
In tragic news, especially for those, who grew up watching The Brady Bunch, actress Ann B. Davis died over the weekend. Davis portrayed the beloved housekeeper Alice on the 90s show. The actress was 88. She passed away at San Antonio’s University hospital. She had spent the last 18 years of her life at the hospital.
On The Brady Bunch, Davis played the beloved nanny, often providing comic relief during tense scenes.
An autopsy has been scheduled for today (June 2) to determine the cause of death. She fell and hit her head in her bathroom Saturday morning, according to reports. Close friend Bishop William Frey tells CNN that she suffered a subdural hematoma and never regained consciousness.
Davis played Alice Nelson for the entirety of The Brady Bunch’s run between 1969 and 1974. Besides the part she is best known for, the actress first achieved TV success playing Charmaine "Schultzy" Schultz in the NBC sitcom The Bob Cummings Show. That role also won her two Emmy Awards out of four nominations. In the 60s and 70s, she appeared in a series of Ford commercials, and she also appeared in two Brady Bunch spinoff TV movies, as well as two spinoff series, The Brady Brides (1981) and The Bradys (1990), both of which lasted only six episodes.'
