Eve Plumb Bought a Beach House at 11 — The Brady Bunch Cast Now

The faces you grew up with — where they are now. The Brady Bunch arrived on ABC on 26 September 1969, and nobody expected it to last. Sherwood Schwartz built it from a statistic about American marriages involving a child from an earlier one: a widowed architect with three sons, a mother with three daughters, a housekeeper, a dog, and the most famous staircase on television. The network refused to let Carol Brady be a divorcee, so she became a widow — and nobody ever explained what became of her first husband. It never once finished a season inside the top thirty, was cancelled in 1974 after 117 episodes, and has been on American television somewhere every single day since 1975. Seen from August 2026, fifty-seven years on, it has outlasted almost everything that beat it. The six children are all still here. Barry Williams, now 71 in August 2026, plays Branson, Missouri several nights a week with his band. Maureen McCormick, now 70, came through cocaine, bulimia and depression and wrote a bestseller about it. Eve Plumb, now 68, took her first year's wages in 1969 — aged eleven — and bought a Malibu beach bungalow for $55,000; she kept it forty-seven years, sold it in 2016 for $3.9 million, and paints in New York now. Christopher Knight, now 68, left acting for Silicon Valley, then built a furniture brand under his name. Mike Lookinland, now 65, came apart on alcohol in his twenties, then learned to pour decorative concrete from a library book and has run that business in Utah for 20 years. Susan Olsen, now 65, trained as a graphic artist and is the cast's bluntest archivist. Three are gone. Florence Henderson was the still centre the format needed — an Indiana sharecropper's daughter who had carried a Broadway musical 888 performances before ABC called. She died on 24 November 2016 at 82, eight days after her last day on a set. Robert Reed fought the scripts for five years in handwritten memos and refused the final episode outright, which is why the father is missing from it. He died on 12 May 1992 at 59. Ann B. Davis had won two Emmys before she played Alice, and in 1976 she left Los Angeles for an Episcopal religious community, where she washed dishes and taught for the rest of her life. She died on 1 June 2014 at 88. The Dilling Street house in Studio City became a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument in March.
