Where they are now: The Brady Bunch

It’s hard to believe that it has been 42 years since The Brady Bunch ended its popular five-year series. Re-runs pop up quite regularly, making it a hit again with a new generation of fans. 

Since the family bid farewell in 1974, the majority of the cast has appeared in various TV programs and films, though some have chosen to remain out of the spotlight.

Here we catch up with the cast of the much-loved blended family and see how they are doing. Scroll through the gallery above for images. 

Florence Henderson (Carol Brady)

Henderson has appeared on the US version of Dancing with the Stars and also hosted a daily chat show called The Florence Henderson Show on Retirement Living TV. She has four kids and her second husband passed away in 2002.

Robert Reed (Mike Brady)

Sadly Reed passed away in 1992 of HIV and colon cancer. After playing the lovable dad on The Brady Bunch, Reed starred in TV movies, some series and some on-stage productions. He is most known for the popular mini-series Roots.

Barry Williams (Greg Brady)

Williams has chosen to work on many projects since the show wrapped, but he is most known for his 1992 New York Times best-selling autobiography Growing Up Brady: I Was a Teenage Greg. He starred in some fairly cheesy films and has also hosted a 70’s popular culture quiz show. He has one child and has been married twice.

Maureen McCormick (Marcia Brady)

McCormick battled with drugs in her post-Brady days, but has managed to turn things around. She has been popular in the US reality TV circuit, losing 34 pounds on Celebrity Fit Club. She also worked as the spokeswoman for Children International. Interestingly she was a contestant on another reality show called Gone Country, where she competed to be a country singer. In 2008 she released her autobiography Here's the Story: Surviving Marcia Brady and Finding My True Voice. She is married with a daughter. 

Christopher Knight (Peter Brady)

Another actor keen on the reality TV scene, Knight was a participant in a VH1 reality series called The Surreal Life. On the show he met and began dating another housemate (and America's Next Top Model winner) Adrianne Curry. As a couple they made a spin-off series, entitled My Fair Brady, thought they ended up divorcing in 2011. 

Eve Plumb (Jan Brady)

One of the cast members who stayed out of the spotlight for the most part, Plumb has declined to take part in Brady family reunions and TV appearances. She has been involved in two stage productions in New York, and has also had success as a painter. She has been married since 1995.

Mike Lookinland (Bobby Brady)

The youngest of the boys, Lookinland was most recently involved in an episode of the Stephen King 1994 miniseries "The Stand," and has not done much other acting. He was in the news in 1997 when he was arrested for driving under the influence. He is married with two sons.

Susan Olsen (Cindy Brady)

Olsen had a 2009 coffee-table book entitled Love to Love You Bradys which is devoted to the less than popular Brady Bunch Variety Hour. She has also been successful in the art world and is an animal-rights activist. She has been married twice and has one son. 

Ann B. Davis (Alice)

The kind-hearted housekeeper to the Brady’s, Davis did some theatre work in the 90’s before retiring from the acting world. She passed away in 2014 at the age of 88.
