We are learning about some of our favorite female personality actresses. Today we are learning more about the being of Virginia Sale.
Virginia was born in 1899 in Illinois. Her father Frank was a dentist, and her mother Lillie Belle was a poet and truant officer for the Urbana Illinois School District. After graduation, she attended the University of Illinois for two years and then transferred to the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York where she graduated in the early twenties. Her brother Charles was a vaudeville comic, and he persuaded her to go to Hollywood to pursue a film career.
She began her career in Hollywood as an extra. In 1931, she did an interview for the Kansas City Star where she said “I had acknowledged an assistant director [named Ned] when I lived in New York. He introduced me to King Vidor, then casting for The Crowd. He gave me quite a good bit in the picture, although it lasted only five days. When asked how much salary I wanted, Ned told me to say $350 a week. ‘Well, I think you ought to perform for us for $25 a day’ the casting director said. ‘That’s an awful comedown I protested,’ trembling in my boots. ‘All right then, let’s compromise on $35 a

... according to Sherwood Schwartz.
[quote] Schwartz said that Davis never married. And while he knew her, she never had a relationship either, which, for the decade, was odd. So her choice to remain single caused rumors to spread. The producer revealed that he spoke with Davis about her personal life on one occasion, and the actress illuded that a bad relationship made her swear off men for good. And in turn, she never had the chance to start a family of her own.
[quote]“She was never married and everybody suspected that she was gay. [Ann] and I actually talked about it and she said, ‘No, I have lots of issues, but that’s not one of them,’” Lloyd continued. “She told me she once had a relationship, I consider with a married guy or something, and it ended unfavorably. I don’t know that she ever had anything else after that. But that’s almost apocryphal.”
Mmm. Ann B. was deeply religious. I suspect she was stuck in the closet somewhere endorse in Narnia. Poor Alice!

While her character on The Brady Bunch was around children all of the time, Ann B. Davis never had any kids of her control — but there is certainly a reason for that.
While we all grasp about the TV character Alice — the sassy, but caring maid on the iconic family sitcom — the spotlight was never shown on Ann herself and her personal life. However, she was as warm as she came across on screen when it came to dealing with her new costars, even if she didn’t own kids of her own. “She was a very pleasant woman, but had nothing to execute with children, so the idea of Alice being so beloved by the characters of the ‘Brady Bunch’ was not reflective of her as a person,” Lloyd J. Schwartz — the son of Brady Bunch creator Sherwood Schwartz — explained.
“She was never married and everybody suspected that she was homosexual. She and I actually talked about it and she said, ‘No, I have lots of issues, but that’s not one of them,'” Lloyd continued. “She told me she once had a relationship, I think with a married guy or something, and it ended badly. I don’t know that she ever had anything else after that. But that’s almost apocryphal.”
While Ann wasn’t interested in spending time with children
