Ann B. Davis's journey in show business began at the tender age of six, where she earned a modest $2.00 performing in a puppet show. As she grew older, Ann initially planned to pursue a career in medicine at the University of Michigan. However, her brother's involvement with the national company of "Oklahoma" as the lead dancer sparked her interest in acting, and she soon found herself drawn to the world of theater.
Ann spent the next six years honing her craft in various settings, including little theaters, stock companies, touring musicals, and more. This extensive experience laid the foundation for her eventual breakthrough as "Schultzie", the secretary on "The Bob Cummings Show".
Before making the move to Hollywood, Ann spent a summer at the Cain Park Theater and a year at the Erie Playhouse in Erie, Pennsylvania, where she gained valuable knowledge of show production and took on a wide range of roles, from teenagers to characters over 60. Her stint at the Barn theater in Porterville, California, which lasted for three years, further refined her skills.
Ann's next stop was the Wharf theater in Monterey, California, where she continued to refine her craft. Ultimately, she made the decision to take a chance on Hollywood, and the rest, as they say, is history.
Throughout her illustrious career, Ann has appeared in numerous stage productions, including "The Women", "Twelfth Night", "Dark Of The Moon", and many others. Her mother, Marguerite Scott Davis, also had a long and distinguished career with professional stock companies, performing for over thirty years.
