RIP Florence Henderson

Don't let the demure Ma Brady persona fool you.
Lots of stories floating around about her banging Barry Williams and running around at parties sans blouse and bra.

Sorry to see her go, she sounded like fun.

The first time I heard of Florence Henderson must have been in the late 1950s. She was on the Tonight Show with Jack Paar. Her dress had ridden up above her knees. Mister Paar's eyes kept wandering over and he made a quick move, grabbed the hem of her dress and pulled it down over her knees. She locked eyeballs with Mister Paar and just glared at him for what seemed like a long time. He stuttered and stammered something about he was only trying to protect her modesty. She replied it wasn't an accident and hiked her dress back up above her knees.

It doesn't sound very funny seeing it in writing, but in the 1950s and with a live studio audience it was hilarious. Strange I would remember that after sixty years.

Rest in peace funny lady.
