Off-Screen Relationships
Romantic sparks occasionally flew among the Brady kids. Williams dated Maureen McCormick (Marcia), Knight dated Eve Plumb (Jan), and Mike Lookinland (Bobby) even had a mock wedding with Susan Olsen (Cindy). Their youthful flirtations added warmth to their on-screen chemistry.
Personal Challenges
Despite the show’s sunny tone, life wasn’t always perfect off-screen. McCormick battled anxiety, bulimia, and later drug addiction, missing out on major roles like Raiders of the Lost Ark. Her memoir Here’s the Story recounts her struggles and recovery.
