Marcia, Marcia, Marcia!

Maureen McCormick ("Marcia" from The Brady Bunch) has a new autobiography in bookstores now. Here’s the Story (great title by the way) details McCormick’s battles with depression, an eating disorder, weight gain, and a lifetime trying to live up to the image of her perfect alter-ego. Among the startling revelations in her tell-all:

• She had sex in a pool with TV brother and co-star Barry Williams.

• Her mother and grandmother both suffered from syphilis, causing Maureen to have a decades-long fear that she too had the disease and that it would someday cause her insanity and eventual death.

• She was drug addict who was once so coked up, she blew an interview with Steven Spielberg and a role in Raiders of the Lost Ark.

Damn... Who knew America's most clean-cut TV family had so many real-life skeletons in their closet? Mike Brady was gay; Greg wanted to date his mom (Florence Henderson); Marcia was a druggie… What’ll we learn next?... The family mutt "Tiger" was part of a dog-fighting ring?... Or that guy who played Sam the Butcher went Sweeney Todd and tried to grind Alice into mincemeat?

Well anyway, I was digging on Marcia a little bit during that last season of TBB so needed to check out her book.
