Christopher Knight (Peter Brady) also expressed his grief on Twitter, sharing a photo of himself with Henderson.

“I grieve for the passing of my dear friend, Florence. Privileged to have known her and the kindness of her heart. She will be missed. RIP.” he wrote.

One of the youngest of the cast members, Susan Olsen (who played Cindy Brady) said the cast were “devastated” by the loss of their “TV mum”.

“Of course we are all devastated by the loss of our TV Mom, but four magnificent human beings are proof that Florence was a wonderful mother in real life. It is for them that my heart is aching.” she wrote on Facebook.

She also shared a photo of Henderson with former husband Ira Bernstein and their children.

Unfortunately for the actors in TV’s most famous family it hasn’t been an easy road.

The cast have been hit with several deaths over the years including Robert Reed (Mike Brady) who died in 1991 from colon cancer, brought on by a battle with AIDS, and Ann B. Davis who played Alice died in 2014 aged 88.
