Here is the story of a lovely lady, who hardly survived the first day in the set.
Susan Olsen, who played Cindy Brady, the youngest of Brady’s children in “The Brady Bunch”, recently revealed some of the darkest memories of filming the situation comedy.
“I injured. I was almost dying,” said the 63 -year -old actress, while in the “The Real Brady Bros” podcast with her former co -star Christopher Knight and Barry Williams.
“In Culver’s lot, they were shooting something there, I suppose that, in the girl’s room, and I was making makeup on my legs. I was standing in a makeup chair and something from the catwalk, where they keep all the lights and all the lights,” “” “the makeup man first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, [bounced] Out of the body of makeup of the body and beat me in the face. “
Olsen was quite injured, and his wounds could be seen during the wedding between his mother on the Carol screen (Florence Henderson) and Mike (Robert Reed).
“It shows, if you look at the ceremony and see the three girls on one side, if you were going to really approach, you can see that my face is quite swollen,” he told Knight and Williams, 7 played Peter and Greg, respectively. “I look different. You can see it in some of the first advertising shots. It shows that my face is a bit swollen.”
Only Henderson, who died of heart failure in 2016 at 82, consoled her at that time. Everyone else in the set told him that it would be fine.
“In fact, I don’t just want to cry,” he recalled. “I want to sob. I will let go and forget all my pride and sob because this hurts.”
She decided to cut the work early and go to the doctor immediately.
“The saddest news is that we give a Paramount, because it would have done more than the program,” Olsen added, laughing. “But I came to work the next day. Florence was the first to see me. She says,” you assure you everything. “And my mother said:” Oh, yes, I will. “Because everyone tried to say: ‘He really didn’t hit her.'”
As a young star, he opposed some of the subsequent effects of the bruises.
“My eyes were black. I mean, I had two black eyes. My nose was swollen. My face was swollen,” Olsen explained. “I remember loving him, because it seemed that I was in a horror movie. And then everyone knew, yes, the Goths hurt and the Goths hurt a lot.”
The program called reinforcements to make sure Olsen would be ready to shoot. Hal King, Lucille Ball’s personal makeup artist in “I Love Lucy”, came to settle and helped cover the bruises in the “Blending Christmas” student.
“I loved Lucy. She was my idol. And I was very excited to have it. And every day, my bruises would be of a different color, and I would say:” My bruises are Purple today, Hall, “Olsen said.
“I didn’t know anything about that,” Knight replied, 67.
“The Brady Bunch” was broadcast for five seasons, from 1969 to 1974. The iconic series followed Mike’s life, which has three sons, marrying Carol, who has three daughters and combining their families.
“The Brady Bunch Hour” was broadcast in 1976 and was a variety program with the original cast. In 1995, “The Brady Bunch Movie” was launched and journed the beloved situation comedy.
Olsen was a set to star in a restart, but said he fell separately due to his political position.
The actress alleged in the “Walk Away Campaign” podcast that the Renaissance stopped due to its support president, Donal Trump and his comment on controversial issues such as COVID-19 vaccines and the LGBTQ+community.
Olsen wanted Cindy to be portrayed as a right -wing podcaster. He sacrificed himself to take a “political correction” class, but said that CBS Studios still did not move.
“I am what I was going to portray, so what a show would be if I can’t say something controversial?” Olsen said in the 2014 episode. “I had a phone call with me [TV] Brothers and my agent. Everyone said: ‘We feel it, but Budge just won. They will simply not have you in this. “I was like Wow, I have canceled my leg. A role that I have played for more than 50 years, I can’t play it now because I’m too dangerous. I was like ‘good, it’s fine, good luck, I hope you can sell it.'”
The star added that Greg Brady would have been “a Republican from Reagan,” Jan Brady would be liberal, and Cindy would be a libertarian podcaster just like Olsen in real life.
“I thought it was very important that Cindy was a libertarian and that she is a bit crazy,” Olsen continued.
“She makes a rescue of animals, like me. I really wanted to be the first woman on television from my first heroin, Donna Douglas of ‘The Beverly Hillbillies’, to use a Tsarigüeya on my shoulder.”
