Indy 500 mainstay Florence Henderson dies

Florence Henderson, who went from Broadway star to become one of America's most beloved television moms in "The Brady Bunch," has died, her manager and her publicist said. She was 82.

Henderson was a regular at Indianapolis Motor Speedway for the Indianapolis 500. She served as the grand marshal for the 100th running of the race in May and delivered the "drivers to your cars" message over the public address system.

She traditionally sang either "America the Beautiful" or "God Bless America" prior to the race. Henderson was an Indiana native and a longtime friend of the Hulman family, which owns Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
