“I'm shocked and saddened ! I've lost a wonderful friend and colleague,” she said in a statement.
Although the show about a blended family aired during the late 60's to mid-70's, the series aired in repeats for years to become a cult favorite.
Best known for “The Brady Bunch,” Davis's entertainment career started at age six. She performed in theater, traveling companies and on the TV programs “The John Forsythe Show” and “The Bob Cummings Show.”
