She may also be known for being on Dancing With the stars? What kind of line is that? 76.188.187.23 (talk) 15:39, 27 November 2011 (UTC) Her whole Brady Bunch years are barely mentioned and her affair with "Greg" is left out. Her appearance at the MTV movie awards doing a Sharon Stone should have been included. She lives on a boat...so much missing for such a TV icon. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.207.116.55 (talk) 00:26, 6 August 2013 (UTC)

Her stage credits here say The Sound of Music (1968), but my mother saw her in that show in the Chicago company circa 1961 (i.e., prior to the film version). We had the Schubert Theater playbill around the house for many years. WHPratt (talk) 00:31, 16 December 2013 (UTC) In regards to the affair with Greg, that never happened. She talks about this in her book: 'Life is not a Stage' Published 2011. It was simply a crush he had on her. Nothing more than that. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.167.177.229 (talk) 17:24, 24 June 2017 (UTC)

I spy
Abbythecat (talk) 00:22, 6 January 2015 (UTC) Florence Henderson never appeared in an episode of the 1960's TV series I SPY. She did appear in an episode of the 1950's TV series I SPY (with Raymond Massey). Check out the Wiki page for the '50's version. It'll take you to the CVTA episode guide that lists her episode. I've seen this episode. For those who doubt, buy the DVD set or the book for the '60's I SPY -- you'll find no episode with Flo in it on DVD, and no mention of it in the book. There's no '60's episode of I SPY called THE ABBE AND THE NYMPH -- that's the title of the '50's episode with Flo as "The Nymph". I tried correcting this under her credits but it was reversed for no given reason. I put it back in. Before anyone deletes it again, please first provide proof that she was in an episode of the '60's I SPY -- photo, video, audio, anything. You can't, because it's the wrong series.

Quote:

"is" versus "was"
An editor has changed the tense "is" to "was" survived in the section Death, which is incorrect usage of the term since the offspring are still alive. I was going to correct this edit, but thought better. Instead, I realized it might be best to bring up the topic here, since placing surviving members in a subject's death section is not a constructive entry; since it will have to be updated each and every time one of these children, grandchildren and great-children pass. I suggest that this line be removed for simplicity editing alone. Comments? Maineartists (talk) 17:20, 25 November 2016 (UTC)


 * Here's a discussion on that topic. -  Mlpearc  ( open channel ) 17:30, 25 November 2016 (UTC)


 * User:Mlpearc Thank you! What would you suggest in this situation? Maineartists (talk) 17:34, 25 November 2016 (UTC)


 * I would !vote not to use the phrase at all. -  Mlpearc  ( open channel ) 17:42, 25 November 2016 (UTC)


 * User:Mlpearc I agree. I'll let all the editing subside before broaching the subject again. On a side note, I really had no idea "was" was ... is? ... the correct term! A lot of obits out there that are incorrect, I guess. Thanks again. Maineartists (talk) 17:51, 25 November 2016 (UTC)


 * User:Mlpearc Upon reflection, Personal Life clearly states her four children just a few sentences before stating them again numerically in the Death section. Isn't this overkill? I mean, how many times do we need to state her offspring in this article? It's even in the infobox: 4. Do we really need to know her grandchildren / great-grandchildren, too? I vote to remove the "survived" all together from the death section. Thoughts? Maineartists (talk) 18:14, 25 November 2016 (UTC)
 * For what it's worth "is" is correct. The survivors are alive. See the Times obit: http://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/25/arts/television/florence-henderson-brady-bunch-dies.html . Markhh (talk) 18:20, 25 November 2016 (UTC)


 * Markhh Not according to the Oxford Dictionary. Maineartists (talk) 18:25, 25 November 2016 (UTC)


 * The way I see it, present tense should be used because the "survivors" are still alive, the other side of the fence sees it as past tense because the "subject" is gone. The whole concept is not very encyclopedic at best, hence my !vote for not using the phrase. -  Mlpearc  ( open channel ) 18:33, 25 November 2016 (UTC)


 * Maineartists, Interesting. If you click on the "additional examples" tab in the above link from the Oxford Dictionary website, you will find some 17 examples using the verb "is" (is survived by ... ). Maybe it's a case of both being correct. Still it's odd that the Oxford would feature the only example using "was" and then follow it with many more using "is".
