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.

Yes, they all go together. Did Goldstein ever feature Florence anywhere? A story even?

Due to a serious visual defect I sometimes MISS an edit ~ so I instantly corrected the post and it followed immediately.

I can tell you are a real New Yorker ~ everything is the other guy's fault even if he's physically handicapped.

Guess that's why you have to hire nothing but foreign cabdrivers ~ they haven't yet ADAPTED.

I have no idea; I just happened to recognize the name Goldstein from an anti-porn article I read once.

Cheers!

True, but some people ( those who knew him well and voted for him )did drop him like a scalding hot potato and never voted for him again,once he went rabid liberal.

Exactly so!

I don't know who made the grammatically crazy error first, Henderson or the person who wrote this article. No matter..........it's worse than a double negative! LOL

You obviously know NOTHING whatsoever about New Yorkers, but that doesn't prevent you from posting your crapola assumptions and outright lies.

First, I was far too "young" to even know about N.Y.C. newspapers of any era, past and present, or about "SCREW". Now, you're claiming that I blame everyone else and especially those with infirmaties ( HOW IS ONE SUPPOSED TO KNOW ABOUT YOUR EYESIGHT AND HOW IS IT THAT YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT MINE? )for my own mistakes; mistakes I did NOT make!

You did NOT "correct" anything, "instantly" or otherwise! Instead, you became extremely combative and nasty and are still at it.......lying your head off and blaming ME for YOUR stupid mistake!

This all began with you making pathetic and moronic claims about John V. Lindsay, a man you know almost NOTHING at all about, but whom you made the most patently ridiculous assumptions about and posted them as though they are fact, to a person who actually KNEW the man, his family, and even more so, knew some of his closest and oldest friends.

Yes, I have traveled to Manhattan frequently. Over the last 45 years I probably spent just over a year there.

My favorite spot ever was the old Marriott set up across from Central Park.

And you?

BTW, I didn't make claims about John Lindsay ~ just Google.com's presentation of John Lindsay.

You cannot logically blame me for Google.com, but you do anyway.

Born and bred New Yorker from an old N.Y.C. Manhattan ) family, but I no longer live there. I live close enough so that I do get into the city whenever I want or need to.

Are you asking me what my favorite place in N.Y.C. is ?

This kind of conversation would be better carried out in private.........don't you think ?

Are you two still going at it?

You should declare a truce and get a room...in Manhattan maybe? Without fleas, lice, or crabs??

I suggest that you go back and read our back and forths, because yes, you actually did actually make assumptive claims about Lindsay, whom I would never stand up for; though I did post factual statements vis-a-vis his physical characteristics and personality, which you insinuated was one of woodenness and hermit/agoraphoic in nature.

LOL....................

I'd gladly drop this, but.............

Re your suggestion about "getting a room"......no thanks! :-)

Yes, in the pictures available on Google.com.

They even protrayed the very colorful and entertaining Mayor Marion Barry in a suit at his arrest for violating laws regarding cocaine.

In fact, there are only a couple of pictures that show him in anything but a suit!

The same thing seems to have happened to other politicians.

Your photo claims about Lindsay have been repeatedly disproved on this very thread!

Might I suggest that you see an expert about your vision impairment, which sadly, but apparently, is getting worse than you realize. :-)

Are you now, at the least, denouncing your false statements that Lindsay never went out, didn't know anybody, and was a "wooden", lumpen ( would that he had been! )piece of cardboard?

You put up two exceptions, and I didn’t say “all”, so you’ve proved nothing. I offered you the chance to post your own collection.

I posted NO, none, bupkis, nada photos and shan't do so, for various reasons, the biggest one being that I have none to post. But even if I had some, I wouldn't post them!

Believe what I have posted, or not........it's no skin off my nose.

OTOH, all of your idiotic posts and complete waste of bandwidth, only shows you to be the fool and a nasty one at that!

From Hollywood Gossip:

After the tryst at the Beverly Hills Hotel, Henderson awoke the next morning to “little black things” crawling over her bed and body.

A doctor diagnosed the STD as pubic lice, Lindsay sent flowers and a note of apology and Henderson learned a valuable lesson:

“I learned the hard way that crabs do not discriminate but cross over all socioeconomic strata,” she writes. “He must have had quite the active life. What a way to put the kibosh on a relationship.”
