Remember adorable little Cindy? The youngest of the three Brady Bunch sisters ended up retiring from acting to pursue a career as a pot farmer. Ironically though, Susan seems to be one of the only ones of the Brady children not to have smoked drugs herself. She didn’t like smoking marijuana because it made her feel paranoid. But, she did like turning them into truffles and chocolate bars.
During these times, pot was far from becoming legal! Side note – apparently Susan had a radio show that she was fired from in December 2016 after she had a feud with gay actor Leon Acord Whiting. We wonder if her chocolate bars were involved in the incident…
Turning Over a New Leaf
Unlike Florence Henderson’s happy on-screen role as Carol Brady, off the screen, she was battling depression and a less than happy marriage to her ex-husband Ira Bernstein. Two years after their divorce, Henderson married her second husband, a hypnotherapist. Florence made several television appearances well into her late seventies. She passed away at the age of 82.
After her passing, a few of the Brady Bunch kids took to Twitter, sharing their feelings on the age-old actress. Eve Plumb who played middle sister Jan wrote “Florence was a wonderful role model for me and all of us 'kids'. She taught me how to be a professional actor by her example of preparedness and respect for the work and her fellow cast and crew members.”
Sister Envy
Where two blonde sisters are involved, there is also drama to be found. It was no secret that Maureen McCormick played the most beautiful older sister, Marcia. Eve Plumb, on the other hand, played Jan, the less pretty of the two sisters. Susan Olsen later shared that her two older sisters were in some pretty heated competition during the show’s filming.
According to RadarOnline.com, due to the feud between the sisters, a Brady Bunch reunion appearance was canceled.
Up to No Good
Susan Olsen dished out a juicy rumor about costar Maureen McCormick sharing that she had a guilty affinity for shoplifting. She got busted once for the act, with her friend Susan Cowsill.
The girls shoplifted and apparently Maureen hid in their car while Cowsill took the blame for the act.
Crushing on Mom
Apparently, Barry Williams who played Greg Brady was crushing on Florence Henderson who played his on-screen mother. While it wasn’t his blood mother, the age difference between the two is enough to make the relationship a big no-no.
Greg was crushing so hard that he wanted to get with Henderson. Fortunately (for the show’s sake at least, and our appetite) Henderson turned down Greg’s advances.
