LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Florence Henderson, the actress who played perky mom Carol Brady in the beloved family sitcom, says she once got crabs after a one-night-stand with career politician John Lindsay, who was the mayor of New York City at the time.

Henderson, now 77, recounts in her upcoming memoir that she was cheating on her husband during the 1960s, and gave in to her better judgment when her married and unattractive friend put the moves on her over drinks at the Beverly Hills Hotel.

"I was lonely. I knew it wasn't the right thing to do. So, what did I do? I did it," she writes in "Life is Not a Stage," set for publication in September.

Henderson went home later that night, and awoke to a grisly surprise the next day as she saw "little black things" crawling over her bed and body.

3. I did not need to know that Mom Brady had the crabs!

All my illusions are shattered! Shattered, I tell you! :rofl:

4. I guess she is trying to one up Maureen McCormick's biography in the TMI department

Maybe Eve Plumb and Chris Knights memoirs will be even raunchier.

8. If Cousin Oliver writes his memoirs, we're sunk.

:scared:

5. i think she got pwned by a fake mayor . . . john lindsay was hardly

'unattractive'. in fact, my recollection, as a resident of new york at the time, is that he was attractive. i think she had too much to drink and shagged one of his aides.

Anything but unattractive.

7. On another topic, I hate to sound like old schoolmarm, but the quality of writing these days in

the news seems to be getting worse and worse. (Or is it the editing? Definitely the proofreading is getting worse.) She "gave in to her better judgment" and slept with the mayor? Wouldn't that judgment be worse, not better? Just asking.

9. She tends to have bad judgement in general.

She even went on a date with Greg Brady when he was only a teen.

11. Noted that as well. n/t

12. Those family show cast members sure were freaky in the sheets.
