Florence Henderson and Shirley Jones are featured on a newly released DVD, Florence Henderson & Shirley Jones: First Ladies of Broadway, which includes the ladies' early television performances on The Bell Telephone Hour. The DVD showcases their far-ranging talents in a vast collection of Broadway favorites. The program also includes solos by Broadway notables Jack Cassidy and Keith Andes, and duets with Gordon MacRae.
It's hard to pinpoint the exact moment when Florence Henderson became a household name. It was certainly through the media of television, but was it her numerous appearances on the then-popular variety shows? Perhaps it was because of the proliferation of commercials she did for Polident and Wesson Oil; the latter in which she helped coin the phrase 'Wessonality'. Obviously her long stint as Mrs. Carol Brady in 'The Brady Bunch' played a major role in her becoming not only a name people easily recognized, but a talent that has genuinely been appreciated by different generations down through the years.
