Anyone who grew up near a TV set any time from 1970 through the current "Nick at Nite" era knows the story of the WASP-y lady who was bringing up three very lovely perfect blah blah etc...or do you? Apparently some stuff went on underneath those sheets after the kids' 8 p.m. bedtime that was a touch more interesting than the thinking of pure thoughts and rehashing of lessons learned from Mr. Brady that day.

Maureen McCormick, aka Marcia, aka the fat celebrity who jettisoned the most blubber on 2007's Celebrity Fit Club, is coming out with a tell-all book in which she writes, among other things, about the sexy experimental escapades that ensued between her and her TV sister. Scha-wing!

Via 2snaps:


A source told The National Enquirer, "The most explosive comments will be how the then-blonde, blue-eyed cutie developed a crush on Eve Plumb, which led to some sexual play. This book will certainly come as a shocker. While Maureen is not a lesbian, she reveals there were some sexual hijinks going on behind the scenes. It's bizarre because she played such a virginal character on the show."



This news is so exciting I'm going to ignore the underhanded diss the "source" delivered in the phrase "the then-blonde, blue-eyed cutie." How many sick little/old pervs writing fan fic in their aunts' basements are going to have their lives made by this? I can see it now. "I knew it!" the pervs will shout, then groan as they crumple to the floor holding their boners in their pale, hairy palms.

Or maybe I shouldn't ignore that underhanded diss. Maybe this whole thing stinks of that eternally less attractive sister, Jan (or Eve Plumb, whatever). What she lacks in prettiness, she makes up for in cunning, or at least that's what we believed in order not to feel so bad for her. Maybe she's been plotting all these years so that now, on the heels of Marcia's tremendous weight-loss achievement, she's orchestrated a piece of news that not only disses on Old Marcia's looks, but proves, once and for all, that everyone, her sister included, found Jan irresistibly attractive but was simply too intimidated by her radiant intelligence to say so.

Or maybe I need to spend more time outdoors and less in my windowless room making up '70s sitcom conspiracy theories. Whatevs. This isn't a theory, it's fact. Nice try Jan, but you need to give it up; Marcia is prettier than you. Gee whiz, one would think you would have learned by now. But then again, your bumbling attempts at gaining ground on sis are why we (kind of) loved you in the first place. Oh, Jan!

I hate the Brady Bunch, and pretty much all family sitcoms up 'til the late nineties and present, but keep writing these little conspiracy theories of yours! I find them quite entertaining! smile

I'm still waiting for the tell all by Billy Mumy about how him and the robot from lost in space experimented....with time travel! (Funny story, I just spent a whole twenty seconds pounding the exclamation mark key before I realized I was holding ctrl instead of shift...not sure why anyone would actually care but there you go, do what you will with the info wink )

Marcia and Jan were hooking up at the same time Greg was banging Mrs. Brady?!? I mean, at least Mrs. Brady was his STEPMOM, but the three very lovely girls were all sisters... no wonder the youngest one developed a drug problem.... freaking Cocktails in Appalachia goin on all around...

If I remember correctly, Maureen McCormick has been a longtime supporter of Planned Parenthood and has given lots of talks about birth control and sexual health long before a lot of other celebrities did. She's pretty swell.

That said: now I've got my pants in a Brady bunch.

The National Enquirer? Well, this story sounds pretty solid though. I can hardly remember what they look like now, but I can remember how the Marcia's nose looked when she got hit with the football.

Publisher Denies 'Brady' Romance
ABC News

Filed Under: Celebrity News, TV News
(Sept. 23) - The book publisher for Maureen McCormick, who played Marcia Brady on the 1970s sitcom "The Brady Bunch," is shooting down rumors that she had a lesbian on-set affair with co-star Eve Plumb, who played her younger sister Jan.

The story of the alleged lesbian affair started circulating the Internet Friday, and was picked up by at least one newspaper on Saturday.

The reported source of the story was McCormick herself in her new tell-all book, "Here's the Story," slated to come out next year.

But the book's publisher said, though there are plenty of other revelations in the book, a lesbian affair is not one of them.

"We are verifying that it is not true," said Debbie Styer, senior vice president of group publicity at William Morrow, the book's publisher. "The real story of what happened in [McCormick's] life and behind the scenes of the show will all come out when the book comes out."

It should no longer be a revelation to fans of the show that life behind the scenes was not as wholesome as the scripted half-hour plots.

Barry Williams, who played oldest brother Greg Brady, revealed in his 1992 autobiography, "Growing Up Brady," that he had been romantically involved with both his TV mom Florence Henderson and with McCormick.

But, according to a press release, there is still more dirt to dish.

McCormick describes being put in "dangerous situations" and being "exploited." She also discusses struggles with eating disorders, drug addiction and depression.

"Though I may never completely win this battle," she writes, "I will never lose. & I have arrived, for the moment at least, in a solid and secure place, which is allowing me to visit my past without fear. Writing this book has been such a cathartic experience. I hope it will not only shed light on who I am and how I got here, but more importantly, remind the readers that there truly is a light at the end of any tunnel."

McCormick is 51 years old, married, and living in Southern California.

Should I consider myself fortunate in that I never watched The Brady Bunch, so all this is totally meaningless to me?

I read this somewhere else but now I've seen it on SG I know it's real. Heh heh. I watched the Brady Bunch. I'm kind of amused by this. That'll teach them for making a show teaching people morals.

The Brady which? Some sort of low-budget horror flick, right?
