Ann Bradford Davis (b. May 5 1926) is an Emmy Award-winning American television actress. Her first success was as "Schultzy" (aka Charmaine Schultz) in The Bob Cummings Show, and she won two Emmy Awards out of four nominations for this role.

However, Davis is best known to younger audiences as housekeeper Alice Nelson (and in one episode, Alice's lookalike cousin Emma) in The Brady Bunch television series, and the various Brady Bunch sequel series and TV movies that followed. She made a cameo role as a truck driver named "Schultzy" (obviously a tribute to her days on The Bob Cummings Show) in 1995's The Brady Bunch Movie.

Davis was also the spokesperson in commercials for Minute Rice, which lasted until the mid-1980s.

Davis attended Trinity Episcopal School for Ministry in Ambridge, Pennsylvania in the early 1990s and is a graduate of the University of Michigan. She has lived with a community of evangelical Episcopalians under Bishop Frye.

Now 80, and never married, she currently lives in a residential neighborhood in San Antonio, Texas. She never completely retired from acting, however, and recently appeared in a string of disposable mop commercials featuring famous TV servants, and has appeared in a number of Brady reunion projects, most recently TV Land's The Brady Bunch 35th Anniversary Reunion Special: Still Brady After All These Years.
