Bidding on a bunch of ‘Brady’ memorabilia
A very Brady auction is currently taking place. Eve Plumb, who played the middle daughter, Jan, on “The Brady Bunch,” is selling off memorabilia she collected during her career, including a bunch of Brady scripts. Yes, before you ask, the script called “Her Sister’s Shadow” is in the mix, with the famous line, “Marcia Marcia Marcia.” Ah, the drama of the middle child.
Also in the mix: The script for “The Subject Was Noses,” in which Marcia breaks a date with Charlie when she gets asked out by the big man on campus, football star Doug Simpson. But then she is hit by a football thrown by Peter before the date, and utters another “Brady” line for the ages: “Oh, my nose!” In this episode, karma is having a ball.
One of the items for sale is a gift from Robert Reed, who played Mike Brady. Plumb has made a video to promote the auction, and in it she describes how she got it: “One Christmas Robert Reed gave all of us Super Eight cameras because he was taking us on a trip — first to New York City and then on the QE2 to London,” she says as we see photos she took with the camera during the trip. “It was so much fun to be traveling with Robert and everybody in the cast.”
Also available to the highest bidder at Julien’s Auctions: the script for the pilot episode, before “The Brady Bunch” was a phenomenon. Her castmates signed it, including Barry Williams (Greg Brady), who wrote, “It has been a lot of fun and a lot of work too but after all it was more fun. I know that the series will sell and that we will all be working together again.”
