Ann B. Davis, the Emmy Award-winning actress known for her role as the beloved housekeeper Alice on The Brady Bunch, died Sunday after a fall at her Texas home. She was 88.
Davis's long-time friend, retired Bishop William Frey, told CNN she fell and hit her head in the bathroom Saturday, leaving her comatose. Davis later died at University Hospital in San Antonio.
Bexar County, Texas, medical examiner's investigator Sara Horne told the Associated Press an autopsy is planned for Monday.
Davis achieved stardom for her role as a secretary in the 1950s sitcom The Bob Cummings Show where she won two Emmys for supporting actress. She later joined the cast of The Brady Bunch where she played Alice the housekeeper.
"I'm shocked and saddened! I've lost a wonderful friend and colleague," Florence Henderson, the actress who played Carol Brady on the show, said in a statement Sunday.
Davis was born in Schenectady, New York, in 1926, and grew up in Erie, Pennsylvania.
