Happy B-day to lovely lady Florence Henderson!

It’s no secret that one of my very favorite stars of all time is Florence Henderson.

I cherish every encounter I’ve ever had with this showbiz dynamo who I first met just over three years ago at the TV Academy Hall of Fame dinner (The photo is of us that night).

Remarkably, this ageless Broadway sensation-turned-television icon turns 78 today! She remains so youthful, so energetic and ambitious.

Just a wonderful force of nature.

Below is video of last fall’s West Hollywood Book Fair where I moderated a panel that included this very lovely lady who, at my request, led the crowd in singing the Brady Bunch theme song.

No one who was there that day will ever forget it!
