15 Big Stars You Never Knew Set Sail On ‘The Love Boat’

8. Florence Henderson

Florence Henderson had already wrapped The Brady Bunch by the time she guest starred on the pilot of The Love Boat. She went on to be the actor with the most appearances on the show (yup, more than Charo), saying she’s lost count of how many husbands she had. There was one episode that also starred Robert Reed (aka Mike Brady) but in a parallel storyline, so they didn’t act together. However, the two did pass each other in the buffet line and gave each other a “hey, you look vaguely familiar” glance. Since then she’s enjoyed a very busy acting career that has also included making appearances as herself on reality TV shows like Dancing With the Stars. These days she has her own talk show called The Florence Henderson Show, as well as a cooking show called Who’s Cooking With Florence Henderson.
