5. They Initially Cast a Different Mrs. Brady

The first Mrs. Brady was to be played by the comedic actress Joyce Bulifant, but when Ann B. Davis signed on to play Alice there was too much wacky comedy going on. They then hired Florence Henderson to play a more straight maternal character instead. Joyce went on to play Murray’s wife on the Mary Tyler Moore Show.
