Florence Henderson (1934-2016) |
|
- Shirley Jones, Oklahoma!, 1954. Nicknamed Florency by her folks, Henderson lost the lead in the film of the Broadway smash to... her best friend, Shirley Jones. Thereafter, they were both mothered rival sitcom families: Henderson's Brady Bunch,11969-1974, v Jones' Partridge Family, 1970-1974. The media tried stirring a pot of bitter emnity between the two. Poppycock! Friends they were, and friends they remained.
