My Take
Ann B. Davis proves that supporting roles can outlast leading ones. To most viewers she is forever Alice, the warm housekeeper of The Brady Bunch, yet I'm more struck by the back-to-back Emmys she won earlier for The Bob Cummings Show. Stealing scenes as a character actress, year after year, takes a craft that headliners rarely master. A University of Michigan graduate from Schenectady, she built decades of affection on dependability rather than glamour, eventually earning a Hollywood Walk of Fame star. Davis remains, for me, a perfect argument that the so-called second banana can be the heart of a show.
