Marcia, Marcia, Marcia - traded sex for drugs in the 70’s….
Maureen McCormick, better known as ‘Marcia Brady’ on the classic TV show “The Brady Bunch” was the image of wholesomeness and purity.
Off camera, McCormick was a depressed drug addict.
“The Brady Bunch” ran from 1969 to 1974 on ABC and McCormick was 14 when the show debuted on the network. Now, at age 52, McCormick writes about her struggles in the book entitled: “Here’s the Story: Surviving Marcia Brady and Finding My True Voice.”
In the book McCormick reveals details about her romance with onscreen brother Barry Williams and dates with Michael Jackson and comedian Steve Martin. Also in the book are details about parties at Hugh Hefner’s Playboy Mansion, cocaine binges and a point in her life where she traded sex for Quaaludes and cocaine.
With regard to her iconic role as ‘Marcia’ on “The Brady Bunch” McCormick says:
“I’ll always be struck by how much a part of people’s lives Marcia is and always will be. But now I’m not bothered by the connection. It took most of my life, countless mistakes and decades of pain and suffering to reach this point of equanimity and acceptance.”

You should watch the clip from The Today Show interview Al Roker did with Marcia — specifically, the part when Marcia went Requiem for a Dream on him. Roker looked like he was about to start chanting: “Dear God, make me a bird, so I can fly far, far away from here.”
