WHATEVER HAPPENED TO THE REST OF ‘THE BRADY BUNCH’ CAST
NEW YORK— Following the death of Florence Henderson, the matriarch of “The Brady Bunch,” here’s a look at the other cast members from the iconic TV show:
Marcia Brady. Maureen McCormick went to a dark place after playing the oldest girl in “The Brady Bunch,” including a five-year addiction to cocaine. She costarred in the 1980 film, “The Idolmaker,” toured as Wendy in “Peter Pan” and Betty Rizzo in “Grease,” and has released albums like “When You Get a Little Lonely.”
She played country singer Barbara Mandrell in the TV biopic, “Get to the Heart,” and talked about her demons in the 2009 memoir, “Here’s the Story.” Three days before her death, Henderson made an appearance in “Dancing With the Stars” to support competitor McCormick.
Jan Brady. Eve Plumb broke from her sweet image immediately after “The Brady Bunch” ended by starring as a 15-year-old prostitute in “Dawn: Portrait of a Teenage Runaway” in 1976. She’s also become a painter.
Her TV credits include guest spots in “One Day at a Time,” “Murder, She Wrote,” “The Love Boat” and “Fantasy Island.” Last January, she appeared in “Grease: Live!”
Cindy Brady. Before she was the “youngest one, in curls,” Susan Olsen sang on “The Pat Boone Show” and had a bit part in the Elvis Presley movie, “The Trouble With Girls.” As an adult, she studied at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts and went on to become a radio talk show host, an artist, a designer who worked with Converse on their glow-in-the-dark sneakers, and an animal-welfare advocate.
Greg Brady. As a child, Barry Williams appeared on TV shows such as “Dragnet,” “Mission: Impossible” and “The Mod Squad.” At 14, he got the role of the eldest boy on “The Brady Bunch.” Fresh off the series, he landed the lead in the musical, “Pippin,” put out the album of covers called “The Return of Johnny Bravo,” and became a radio host.
He cowrote the 1992 book, “Growing Up Brady: I was a Teenage Greg,” which stripped the saccharine veneer off one of TV’s legendary families and revealed the hardwood hijinks underneath, including affairs and drunkenness.
Peter Brady. Christopher Knight was doing commercials at age 7 and landed the part of the middle Brady brother at 11. After the show ended, he went on to become a businessman and enjoyed a semi-resurgence in Hollywood throughout the 2000s by appearing in reality shows, including “Celebrity Family Feud,” “The Surreal Life” and “My Fair Brady.”
Bobby Brady. Born with strawberry-blonde hair, Mike Lookinland’s locks were dyed brown so he’d look more like a Brady. After the show ended, Lookinland battled alcoholism and found a fulfilling role on the other side of the camera.
He went to University of Utah and became a camera technician for almost 20 years. Later, Lookinland switched careers completely and now makes concrete countertops for a living.
Alice Nelson. Emmy-winning actress Ann B. Davis, who became the country’s favorite housekeeper on “The Brady Bunch,” died in 2014 at age 88. More than a decade before playing Alice, Davis was the razor-tongued secretary in another stalwart TV sitcom, “The Bob Cummings Show,” which brought her two Emmys.
Over the years, she also appeared on Broadway and in occasional movies.
Mike Brady. Robert Reed, who trained as a Shakespearean actor, only to gain fame as the father on “The Brady Bunch,” died in 1992 at age 59. Reed appeared in movies, on Broadway and in several TV shows. He was born in Illinois, studied drama at Northwestern University and attended London’s Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts and the University of London. He was nominated for three Emmy Awards.
