In a night of dancing to TV themes, Henderson, who at 76 is the oldest of the contestants, danced to the theme for "The Brady Bunch." She dedicated her tango to Robert Reed , who played architect Mike Brady on the TV show. Reed, who died in 1992, is often remembered by the child actors on the series as a surrogate father.

One of those actors, Barry Williams - who is now 56 - turned up during rehearsals for Henderson's dance and spoofed rumors that the two had engaged in an on-set romance during "The Brady Bunch" days. Williams, who played Greg Brady,  later was seen in the audience applauding Henderson's dance-floor efforts.
