Florence Henderson
It's the story, of a lady named Florence, who was raising four kids of her own! "The Brady Bunch" matriarch Florence Henderson opens up about balancing motherhood both on and off screen. She tells us why she loved to film the show on location at times and shares a scary story about nearly drowning in Hawaii. Then, Florence sings the "Home & Family" tune before playing a game of "Name that TV Show Theme Song" with the rest of the bunch. Later, she demonstrates her workout routine, called the Five Ancient Secrets to the Fountain of Youth. And, we celebrate this Valentine's Day baby's birthday a few days early!
