The actress, famous for her role as Marcia Brady on the ABC sitcom “The Brady Bunch,” captivated viewers from 1969 to 1974. However, life after the show was no longer the same. Still, she has since bounced back and looks better than ever.During her time on the hit sitcom, the actress became a teen icon, winning the hearts of millions nationwide. When the Brady Kids branched into music, her vocal talent stood out, catching the attention of producers.
After the series ended, she was offered a recording contract but declined the opportunity, opting for a more normal life. When asked about her decision in a 2008 interview, the celebrity admitted, “Actually, I’ve always regretted that. I think it would’ve been interesting to see where it would’ve gone. Could’ve, would’ve…”
Her time on “The Brady Bunch,” alongside Florence Henderson, was filled with difficulties off-screen. The Hollywood star revealed that her role as Marcia continued to linger in her life, admitting she faced personal struggles while portraying the character.
She struggled with narcotic addiction, including cocaine. At the Summer Spectacular in September 2017, an event supporting the Brent Shapiro Foundation for Drug Prevention, the public figure shared why the cause is so personal to her.
“I struggled with drug addiction for gosh, six, seven years and it was awful,” she reflected, adding that she had been sober for 35 years by then, and her life had never been better.
