Cindy?
Why wasn't the real Cindy in this one? Does Anyone know?
shareSusan Olsen (the orignal Cindy) was on her honeymoon in Jamaica when this was being filmed.
shareI thought she died of a drug overdose because she was a prostitute.
shareGET REAL! I can't believe people are still thinking this after all these years! Not after all the Brady mania through out the years and the various incarnations!
You are getting mixed up with Anissa Jones who played Buffy in Family Affair. Anissa had a drug overdose in 1976 when she was 18 years old. Her fatal overdose was of a combination of cocaine, angel dust, Quaaludes and Seconal. The San Diego County coroner said it was one of the most severe cases of drug overdose ever seen in San Diego County. Her death is the subject of the song, "Buffy's Dead." The Diodes, a Toronto band from the '70s, had a song about her called "Child Star" (also released as a single, the flip side of "I'm Tired of Feeling Tired"). The chorus goes: "Uncle Bill/Uncle Bill/I took some pills/Mr. French/Mr. French/I'm feeling tense". All this info is on the IMDb website for Family Affair. By the way I have heard MANY reports on Anissa's death through out the years and not once was it mentioned that she was a prostitute.
We've seen Susan Olsen who played Cindy on various Brady Bunch incarnations since Anissa's death. Susan was on Brady Bunch Hour in 1977, Brady Brides in 1981 and The Bradys in 1990. The only incarnation she missed was the A Very Brady Chrismas in 1988 because Susan was on her honeymoon. Not to mention the numerous interviews she's been on since 1990.
"I'd rather believe what I believe and be wrong than believe what you believe and be wrong."
I was TOTALLY JOKING, only because that rumor was so stupid and far fetched. Anyone with any intelligence and knowledge of Brady Bunch history knows that it wasn't true. I was being sarcastic!!!!!! I'm not mixing her up with Anissa Jones at all. Please don't put me in the category of those people that actually believed that rumor. I know that Susan Olsen never died, and I have seen her on all of the Brady Bunch movies and shows over the years. When I put that post out there, I was hoping people would figure out that I was making a joke because of all those silly rumors that took place. You can't believe everything everyone says on IMDB.

An urban legend claimed that Susan Olsen had become an adult film star. On a late 1990s television interview, Olsen herself stated on camera that her "porn" connection was that she created space ship sound effects for a porn film called Love Probe From a Warm Planet. She did this as a favor for a friend who worked in the technical side of the business. She also went on to state that perhaps the legend got started because the star of a porn film "Crocodile Blondee" which was widely distributed among troops during the Persian Gulf Crisis, was rumored to be her. She added that since the porn star was very pretty, she did not try too hard to dispel the rumors.
When Eve Plumb declined to participate in "The Brady Bunch Hour" variety show the reason given was that she was filming the made for TV movie "Dawn: Portrait of a Teenage Runaway". I think that was misconstrued as she was starring in an adult film.
