“Confessions of a Brady Bunch girl: ‘I took cocaine and dated my TV brother'”

Obligatory: “Marcia, Marcia, Marcia…”

From the UK Daily Mail:

While her character Marcia Brady was winning over audiences with her fresh-faced charm, McCormick was spiralling into depression and resorting to drug drug abuse, she admits in a shocking tell-all book.

In her memoir Here’s the Story: Surviving Marcia Brady And Finding My True Voice, she opens up about her battle with cocaine addiction, trading sex for drugs, two abortions and debauched nights partying at the Playboy mansion.

She says: ‘I was hiding the reality of my life behind the unreal perfection of Marcia Brady.

‘No one suspected the fear that gnawed at me even as I lent my voice to the chorus of Bradys singing, “It’s a Sunshine Day.”‘

She also chronicles her romance with TV sibling Barry Williams, who played Greg Brady, and her dalliances with singer Michael Jackson and actor Steve Martin.

McCormick was 14 when The Brady Bunch debuted, running from 1969 to 1974.

When the series had its final bow, she struggled to regain her earlier success, landing some TV and movie roles, but developed a reputation for unreliability due to her addiction.

She even botched an interview with Steven Spielberg for a role in Raiders of the Lost Ark because she was high.

After interventions, stints in rehab and experimental therapies, McCormick began getting sober in 1985 when she married actor Michael Cummings, with whom she has a daughter, Natalie.

Then there’s this:

Wholesome former “The Brady Bunch” star Maureen McCormick is set to reveal the beloved ’70s TV series’ most shocking secret in a new book — she and her on-screen sister had a lesbian fling.

McCormick’s tell-all, “Here’s The Story,” won’t hit bookstores until 2008, but publishers are already buzzing about the big reveal.

As well as talking candidly about her well-documented eating disorder and drug problems in the book, TV’s Marcia Brady will come clean about a romance she had with co-star Eve Plumb, who played her sister Jan on the hit show.

A source tells 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.

Obligatory: “MARCIA! MARCIA! MMMMMARCIA!”

It’s like a J. Geils song come to life!

    Yeah, because no mere mortal could avoid taking drugs, slutting around, and being generally trashy. It’s simply unreal.

    Liberace would be a good place to start and then work your way to Rock Hudson by way of Paul Lynde.

    That house is just a few blocks from here. I don’t tell people anymore when they visit cause then they want to see it and the whole experience is a lot like driving up to someone’s house you don’t know and gawking at their house. It’s on a cul de sac so then you have to turn around and gawk some more and you’re afraid someone is gonna say hey let’s get out and take pictures and then what do you do. It’s just awkward.

  18. Big Bang Hunter (pumping you up) says:

    – yeh feets. You get a lot of tourists just standing around in the various rooms of the house, looking off into space, with a serene flushed look on their faces, like they’re trying to visualize something in their minds eye.

    – I gotta go now.

  19. Spies, Brigands, and Pirates says:

    At the same time Greg was doing the dirty with Flo Henderson?

    Greg was doing Carol AND Marcia, and that makes him the King Hell Super Stud of all time.

    What next? A seamy story about Tiger and the family cat which mysteriously vanished about two episodes in?

  20. Yeah, well Alice was gettin’ busy with Sam the Butcher AND Cousin Oliver.

  21. And don’t forget Mrs. Kravitz watching through the window… wait, wrong show.

  22. hoss says:

    I think Uncle Fester got whiplash when he did a double take to see what was going on with the Brady girls.

  23. Matt, Esq. says:

    Dude. Just… dude.

    Can we talk about Obama and how his fell socialist vision for America. Because I need a distraction. Like immediately. Where’s that porn Flint’s making ?

  24. Ana says:

    Ahhhhhh. Circuses.

  25. RR Ryan says:

    As I commented on the wrong thread, when she’s trading herself to her real brother for coke, let me know. Otherwise, this is just a Joan Didion book with the names changed. Again.

  26. Spies, Brigands, and Pirates says:

    “Marcia” was a grade ahead of me in high school. Taft High in Woodland Hills. And she was, on the rare occasion she actually came to school, as insecure as anyone I’ve ever seen. Like a deer in headlights as she sat, alone, in lunch area.

    Although, I now understand better why she always threw up in the bushes after free-basing with the “Hollywooders” during free period.

    Does anyone want to hear any stories about Jamie Lee Curtis passed out in the corner on “ludes” during many a summer party? That memory sort of helps me deal with her recent ranting about politics and junk.

  29. lee says:

    COMING IN 2014!
    The new Maureen McCormick tell all book!

    Americas heartthrob in the early ’70’s, as well as the mid-teens, Marcia was an arousing character in the pseudo-innocent sit-com, The Brady Bunch.

    Now, in her own steamy words, the truth is finally revealed!

    “I had a tree-way with Eve and Barry”

    and
    “The torment and pounding, pounding, pounding pressure drove me to drugs and a horrible meat compulsion”

    A source tells the National Enquirer, “The most explosive juxtaposition ever spilled by the once queen of wetdreams”

    Yeah. And, the world wants to know: is it true?

  31. Ana says:

    #27 Bread is in the Grasshopper post. Never mix your bread and circuses. Shuts down the whole blog.

  32. Robert says:

    In that Daily Mail photo, her hands look like those of a 70-year-old. She’s not even good cougar material.

    Liberace would be a good place to start and then work your way to Rock Hudson by way of Paul Lynde.”

    Bet you didn’t know that Rock Hudson didn’t die of AIDS.

    He died from foode poisoning.

    Bad meat in the can.

    Just passing through…
