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.

She must have been drunk if she thought otherwise.
You just got caught in yet another one of your smarmy,ridiculous posts, attempting to be "clever".
You have NO idea what New York City accents ( nor much of anything else, for that matter ) are; now or through many generations of New York accents.
Post less, or not at all..............it'll save your being seen as a fool and a pompous one at that!
Drunk and/or she’s making the whole thing up out of whole cloth!
I never did think she was all that pretty, but then I saw a picture of her when she was 18. She was an absolute Babe! I also read that she really liked the boys even back then.
BTW, is crabs the same thing as lice?
From Wikipedia:
With the outbreak of World War II, John Lindsay completed his studies early and in 1943 joined the United States Navy as a gunnery officer.
He obtained the rank of lieutenant, earning five battle stars through action in the invasion of Sicily and a series of landings in the Pacific theater.
***
John Lindsay met his future wife, Mary Anne Harrison, at the wedding of Nancy Bush (daughter of Connecticut’s Senator Prescott Bush and sister of future President George H.W. Bush), where he was an usher and Harrison a bridesmaid.
A resident of Greenwich, Connecticut and a graduate of Vassar College, Harrison was a distant relative of William Henry Harrison and Benjamin Harrison.
They married in 1949.

Medical bills from his Parkinson’s Disease, heart attacks and stroke, depleted Lindsay’s finances and he found himself without health insurance.
In 1996 Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani appointed the former Mayor to two largely ceremonial posts to make him eligible for municipal health insurance coverage.
He and his wife Mary moved to a retirement community in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina in November 1999, where he died the next year at the age of seventy-nine of complications from pneumonia and Parkinson’s disease.
“In 1996 Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani appointed the former Mayor to two largely ceremonial posts to make him eligible for municipal health insurance coverage.”
Yes, that was a bit of a thing. There was a story in the papers about Lindsay showing up at some public presentation and being rather disoriented, etc.
I’m glad Rudy did that, although I have to ask, wouldn’t he have been eligible for veterans benefits?
I would think so...
No. Trust me on this.
“They” really say that???
Wow, you really read too much into things. A picture is a picture. You are projecting. People like to see what these folks like contemporaneously. I know I have never seen Lindsey before. The earliest NY mayor I remember is Abe Beam.
She don’t just cook with that oil...
So that’s why Tiger liked to be fed by Alice.
Lindsay at the time was considered one of the sexiest male pols around. He was a nitwit liberal, but that never stopped people from voting for him.
Pretty much. They’re actually called crab lice.
eeeeeeyyyyyoooooooooweeeeeeeeeeeeeee! We didn’t need to know that!
Yes, if the word ‘attractive’ is used, it helps explain why she acted against ‘her better judgment’, the use of the word ‘unattractive’ makes her going against ‘her better judgment’ simply odd.
Cheers!
Cheers!

Is Flo on Anthony Weiner's Tweet list?
