Ann B. Davis, known for her role as
housekeeper Alice Nelson on "The Brady Bunch,"
died Sunday, close friend Bishop William Frey said.
She was 88.
According to Frey, Davis fell and hit her head
Saturday morning in her bathroom. She suffered a
subdural hematoma and never regained
consciousness.
In a 2004 interview with the Archive of American
Television , Davis described how she created the
beloved character of Alice.
"I made up a background story. I did have a twin
sister, so I used that as a basis. ... I cared very
much about this family. It was my family. It was
close to my family as Alice would ever get. I would
have died for any single one of them at any point,"
she said. "You know, they wrote me such gorgeous
things to do, as the intermediary between the kids
and the adults, and between the boys and the girls.
And they gave me funny things to do."
