Casting Shock

Oscar winner Shirley Jones was on "The Joy Behar Show" this week, and she dropped a bomb. Maybe some of you knew this already, and we probably should have, but for some reason, Jones' tidbit was news to us. Jones admitted to Behar that she had been offered the role of Carol Brady on "The Brady Bunch", but turned it down. Who knew? We didn't. Florence Henderson, of course, ended up with the classic t.v. role, and Jones went on to star on "The Partridge Family" with step-son David Cassidy.

Nobody Shags It Better

Happy 77th Birthday today to Mrs. Brady, Florence Henderson. Henderson became a household name playing the mother, Carol Brady, on "The Brady Bunch", 1969-74, which became one of the most famous sitcoms of all time.

Henderson made her first national television appearance in 1954 and recently competed on "Dancing With The Stars". And yes, nobody wore the 70's shag better than Flo.
