Rare Vintage Photos of Iconic Women of the 1960s

Ann B. Davis was already a familiar face by the 1960s, but she became truly iconic as Aunt Harriet on The Brady Bunch. With her nervous energy, expressive eyes, and impeccable comic timing, she turned a supporting TV role into something memorable, anchoring the show’s wholesome, slightly chaotic household.

Off screen, Ann lived a very different life from her sitcom persona. Private, deeply religious, and uninterested in Hollywood glamour, she eventually stepped away from acting. She later lived in a small religious community, far from the spotlight, choosing faith, simplicity, and quiet purpose over celebrity.
