I was shocked when I heard Maureen say during an interview that she and Eve are no longer on speaking terms because of a silly comment she made, like, ten years ago about having a crush on Eve, but it was all just a joke that was taken out of perportion. Still, I don't see what all the fuss is about. Eve and Maureen were friends on the show, but to get all bitter over a silly joke. A few girlfriends of mine made similar jokes in public, but I never got bitter about it. Even if they were made public. I didn't care. If you ask me, I think Eve is just bitter and jealous and I still think she's holding a grudge over that mutual crush they once had on Christopher Knight. You could just see Eve seething during that TV Land reunion show when Maureen was gushing about her crush on Chris. That's a shame. To think that the actresses who played Jan and Marcia in "The Brady Bunch Movie" and "A Very Brady Sequel" are still best friends in real life...yet the original actresses apparently hate each other. Such a shame.

MAUREEN,MAUREEN,MAUREEN!!!!!

Yeah it is a shame but I kinda do blame Eve. As I've said in the Maureen McCormick book thread, I bet there are people who think Maureen and Eve are gay or something. Remember that thread awhile back saying they were gay? I think there was one.

Plus, you don't want someone saying something about you that isn't true.

I'll give you two examples I gave on that thread.

Like Richard Jewell, he was accused of being the Olympic bomber in 1996 in Atlanta. Media scortched him as he said he was innocent. Turns out he was. He sued media outlets and the FBI for slander. How much you want to bet there are people out there who STILL believe that Jewel was the Olympic bomber even if the media and Feds admit they were wrong?

How about the Ramsey family. Even after the investigations and stuff they were finally exonerated just recently. Gosh, I forgot what year that girl died but the media and feds kinda made it seem like they had something to do with their daughter's death. Grant it, I kinda think they had something to do with her death.

Yes it is a shame they aren't speaking but Maureen shouldn't have said that.

Overall, I liked Maureen's book and Maureen definitely has earned the right to tell what she believes is the truth but, if one of her goals has been to reconnect with Eve, I don't think any of us should be surprised if Eve maintains a chilly stance for some time after what Maureen wrote about Eve's alleged teenaged dressing room antics.

I think "hate" is a bit strong of a word to use, but it is a shame that their friendship has spoiled. I hope that Maureen and Eve can resolve their differences and become friends again. They go back 40 years, which means they've known each other for most of their lives. It would be a shame if they walked away for good now. :(

they should really just kiss and make up - ON A VH1 PAY-PER-VIEW SPECIAL! :crazy:

Ok, this is news to me........although Chris Knight has stated Eve has been chilly towards him because of his My Fair Brady stuff.

Yeah, but now she's speaking to him again because he is now hosting a game show (??).

Being in their 40's & 50's, you'd think they'd stop acting like kids.

They're BOTH in their 50s now (Maureen is 52 and Eve is 50) - and you're absolutely right.

If anything, they should see how life is too short for these petty grudges...a lesson they should clearly see from the Joyce DeWitt/Suzanne Somers still not talking fiasco. :nonono:

Not to mention real life sisters Olivia de Havilland and Joan Fontaine. They are both in their 90s and still don't speak. Such a shame...ohno:

Yep, it's "Trivial Pursuit: America Plays" Christopher Knight's hosting (it's a syndicated game show, so check your local listings).

In all the years they worked together, I highly doubt Maureen and Eve were ever really close friends. I've heard that Eve was always extremely jealous of Maureen's popularity and looks, there were even times when Eve would have one of her boyfriends visit the set and Maureen, always being the flirt, would strut around in a short skirt. Then there was their crush on Chris, which I don't think is still an issue today (both women are happily married and have kids of their own) but back then both of them were fighting for his attention. Of course, Eve won out. It was only fair being that Maureen was already shagging Barry Williams. I even read that when the kids had their singing group, Eve really grew resentful of Maureen allegedly because Maureen was being paid more money and was being given special treatment and had a huge ego about the whole thing. From that point on, Eve and Maureen were barely even on speaking terms, which might be the reason why during the final season you could really feel the tension between them during their scenes together. Then when "The Brady Bunch Variety Hour" was on, Eve decided not to take part in it (smart move, Eve) because partially she was filming a TV movie and because she didn't want to be associated with her character or "The Brady Bunch"...but mostly, she wanted nothing to do with Maureen. Even during "The Brady Brides", which Eve did take part in mostly for the money, the two of them were constantly at odds with each other. By "A Very Brady Christmas", if you notice both of them are barely even in the same room with each other in the movie, because Eve and Maureen were not speaking at all. I think, even now, Eve has always been resentful of all the attention aimed at Maureen, even thougn Eve is a much better actress (and at least in my opinion far more attractive) and you can sort of understand that because Eve had to spend years of her adolescence playing second fiddle and her character, Jan, was always being portrayed as a loser, while Marcia was the "pretty" and "popular" one who always got the guy and was an overachiever. You just knew that the "My Sister's Shadow" episode hit very close to Eve, because when she was saying "Marcia, Marcia, Marcia!!" she was really upset and she really wanted to say "Maureen, Maureen, Maureen!!" then she almost lost it when she said "I'm tired of being in Marcia's shadow all the time!!" and she flubbed her line, you knew she sort of broke character. I never really liked Maureen/Marcia while watching the show, because she was always too prissy and stuck up, nor did I ever see why guys thought she was such a knockout. I always loved Jan because as geeky as she was in the earlier seasons, there was always something very beautiful about her and she was more relatable. Now, Maureen's going around spilling secrets not only about herself, but about her castmates and I here she really goes to town on Eve, talking about her attempted trysts with Chris Knight and other really private stuff (nothing about the alleged "lesbian" thing). Lastly, I really can't blame Eve for being angered by Maureen saying she had a thing for her, which started all these rumors to begin with, because she never really came out and corrected it afterwards. Face it, Maureen's just a publicity hound who craves attention now that you have Miley Cyrus, Paris Hilton, Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan dominating the headlines.

I must say I agree with what you had to say. I also liked the Jan character much better and thought she was prettier then Marcia. I was always envious of Eve's beautiful hair, especially in her middle teens when she let it hang and it was curly in the back. Very beautiful and natural looking.

I'll see what I can do to help them make up. I will invite them both to dinner at my house, each not knowing that the other is also coming. Hopefully when they see each other, they will remember their friendship and reconcile.

they should really just kiss and make up - ON A VH1 PAY-PER-VIEW SPECIAL! :crazy:

I'd watch that! Over and over!:eek: :D

Eve strikes me as being very uptight. She clearly disdains Brady Bunch fans and doesn't want to be reminded of her past as Jan. However, this has not stopped her from collecting a paycheck from any of the revival shows, TV movies or cast reunion shows when the opportunity arises.

However, she did turn down The Brady Bunch Variety Hour, so she gets points for that.;)

Ok.

Be sure to let us know how it turned out.

:wink2:

EP needs to get a grip. I feel with her regarding being PO w/ MM over her comment, but she needs to get over herself and move on with her life.

I'd watch that! Over and over!:eek: :D

She does seem to be on a high horse when it comes to TBB and its wide legion of fans. I DID enjoy Eve as a novice nun (!) in the Irwin Allen flick The Night the Bridge Fell Down - she did a good job there. I've also seen her artwork on her web site - beautiful paintings! It's a shame she seems to take everything (including herself) so seriously. ohno:

I know I posted this in other threads, but when Eve went on "The Rosie O' Donnell Show" and was so rude to Rosie about anything Brady, it was like.....sheesh, what a whiny b****!

they should really just kiss and make up - ON A VH1 PAY-PER-VIEW SPECIAL! :crazy:
I was thinking the next VH1 Reality show.

Too bad Mrs. Brady couldn't get them to talk things out. Grudges are a waste of time and life. My Mom and Aunt never made up, not because my Mom didn't want to but because of my Aunt. My mom had alzheimer's and kept asking for her sister, she got a birthday card from her brother and thought her sister sent it to her. We didn't have the heart to tell her the truth. That card made her so happy.

I know that EP is (rightly so) still very angry about not getting ANY residuals from the show, etc. (no one else does either).

EP needs to get over herself. If you accept a spot on a talk show, expect to be asked about TBB. If you don't want to talk about it, don't do public appearances!

Duh.

If it wasn't for TBB, would anyone be talking about Eve, period?

Besides, she is the one Brady who has a distinguished post Brady career without benefit of a reality show :lol:

yes they really need to make up

I know that EP is (rightly so) still very angry about not getting ANY residuals from the show, etc. (no one else does either).
Good point! I'd be mad, too. :lol:

Maybe we don't know the whole story.

True...I watched a recent interview w/ Maureen and she said she's tried to patch things up w/ Eve and Eve never returns her phone calls. EP needs to let it go.

Let me say this.......when TV Land did that "Still Brady After All these years" reunion-- I WAS SHOCKED TO SEE EVE THERE!! TV Land must have ponied up some good money :lol:

Well, next year is the 40th anniversary of TBB...with Maureen and Eve at odds and Chris Knight at odds with Florence Henderson (over her comments about his marriage) - it'll be INTERESTING to see what happens!!!

Hey check out this great Brady Blooper Clip. VERY funny. Apparently the Brady kids all went on Chris's new game show Trivial Pursuit America Plays. clip said it airs all week Nov. 10th. I don't see Maureen in the clip so I can't tell if she's on or not. Maybe she's still on the outs with Eve. But Eve certainly looks happy and she's really funny in this clip. Enjoy!!!:happyface :lol: :eek:

Thanks for sharing!! :cool:

Growing up I always used to love watching TBB and I loved the dynamic between Jan and Marcia, but couldn't help noticing alot of the friction seemed very realistic, especially when Jan said "Marcia, Marcia, Marcia" in that one episode. Then I hear from Maureen's mouth that they are no longer friends and it has to do with a silly comment Maureen made about having a crush on Eve.
I actually remember that she was on a talk show and she was asked about having a crush on any of the Brady men and she got all giddy and started talking about first having a crush on Barry Williams, then she had a crush on Christopher Knight, even little Mike Lookinland and finally Robert Reed, and then the host joked with her asking if she had a crush on any of the Brady girls and Maureen joked around saying something like, "Of course! I had crushes on Florence Henderson and Eve Plumb...and Susan Olsen and even Ann B. Davis..." but it was all just a joke.
Personally, I think Eve Plumb is bitter about Maureen's popularity as Marcia and she was always stuck playing second fiddle as Jan. If you think about it the way Jan was often portrayed in the movies she was always the dork and the loser with the braces and stuff. That's enough to make anyone feel self-conciense.
I think alot of Eve's hostility in the past came from I believe Maureen having a crush on Chris Knight as Eve had an even bigger crush on him as well and she saw Maureen trying to make her move on him and got angry, but there were actually several instances where Eve's boyfriends wound up with Maureen. Sadly, alot of it in truth is female cattiness that goes on alot on TV shows (even now with "Gossip Girl" and "90210").
I think it's sad being a woman myself, but alot of women who work on TV shows, even movies, together and are often pitted against each other get hostile with each other. Unfortunately, it's how women are being taught to view each other as enemies and competition. You almost never get men being pitted against each other. Well, that's my take on it anyway.
I think, in all honesty, Maureen has always been a big flirt (even now...the woman's married with a kid and she still parades around men half her age being all flirtacious and stuff), and call Eve a stick in the mud all you want...you can't blame her for being resentful, judging by all the crap Maureen has allegedly written about her in the new book. (No...nothing about that alleged lezzy afair, but alot of unflattering stuff in there...MEOW!!)

Well, next year is the 40th anniversary of TBB...with Maureen and Eve at odds and Chris Knight at odds with Florence Henderson (over her comments about his marriage) - it'll be INTERESTING to see what happens!!!

Maybe this time we'll get the Brady Brawl! :lol:

Christopher Knight 'Deeply Hurt' By TV Mom's Remarks

Where's Alice with a tension-deflating quip when you need her?

Christopher Knight says he's "hurt deeply" that his Brady Bunch mom, Florence Henderson, publicly called his marriage to reality-TV costar Adrianne Curry a mistake.

"It hurts me deeply that someone that I have loved and respected for so many years ... would discuss overtly negative personal opinions about my marriage in a public forum," the My Fair Brady star writes on his MySpace page. "I can only hope these recent comments are an aberration."

Earlier this month, Henderson, 74, told reporters that she felt Knight, 50, and Curry, 25, had been pushed into marriage by their reality show, and had urged them not to wed.

"It is no secret Florence and Adrianne do not see eye to eye," Knight writes. "But ... in the struggle I have hoping one day these two women will bridge their generation and philosophical differences, calling my marriage a sham helps so very little."

A very Brady feud
There’s bad blood brewing between “Brady Bunchers” Florence Henderson and Christopher Knight. Last week, everyone’s favorite mom spoke out about the made-for-TV marriage between the actor who played Peter on the classic sitcom and his reality-regular bride, Adrianne Curry. Now Christopher and Adrianne are firing back at Mrs. Brady via their MySpace blogs.

It all started innocently enough when Florence hit the Television Critics’ Association's summer press tour to promote her latest Hallmark Channel offering, “Ladies of the House.” During the press chat, conversation switched to all things Brady, particularly her former costars’ tendency toward reality TV. That’s when the maternal figure chimed in on the stars of “My Fair Brady.”

“When Christopher Knight was doing ‘The Surreal Life,’ he was very much involved with this person he had met on the set, so I think (the producers) were pressuring him to get married,” Florence said in a quote posted to Fancast. “(Christopher) asked me if I could come in and counsel them while they were dating and I did, but they didn’t listen to me at all. They then asked if I could come in and counsel for the marriage but I said no. I said, maybe I can come counsel for the divorce?”

For Adrianne, those were fighting words. First her rep responded on her behalf, stating that Florence’s comments were “grossly unprofessional, irresponsible and immature,” then Adrianne put it in her own words in a post ironically titled, “I forgive Florence.”

“I was nothing but nice to (Florence) when we met, and she had it out for me before I said a word,” Adrianne wrote. “Lord knows I tried to connect with ‘this person,’ but it is obvious that it was never meant to be. I just wish she could be more professional about this. It's weird to have someone on the level of Mr. Rogers and Barney hate you.”

Finally, Christopher pulled up a chair to the TV family feud, but with a more balanced approach. While he vented his anger over Florence’s comments, his MySpace response hinted that both women share the blame.

“It is no secret Florence and Adrianne do not see eye to eye,” he explained. “In truth, I can empathize with both sets of views. But ... in the struggle, I (am) hoping one day these two women will bridge their generation and philosophical differences; calling my marriage a sham helps so very little.”

I was thinking the next VH1 Reality show.

Too bad Mrs. Brady couldn't get them to talk things out. Grudges are a waste of time and life. My Mom and Aunt never made up, not because my Mom didn't want to but because of my Aunt. My mom had alzheimer's and kept asking for her sister, she got a birthday card from her brother and thought her sister sent it to her. We didn't have the heart to tell her the truth. That card made her so happy.

I agree grudges are a waste of time. I'm sorry about your mom. :(

My cousin who actually knows Barry Williams from working with him in Vegas says that he used to tell her alot of stories about what happened behind the scenes of "The Brady Bunch" - but he mainly, surprisingly enough, loved talking about Eve and Maureen's cattiness more than anything, even more than how hot he thought Maureen was and all the alleged sex stuff. I haven't seen her in years, because she's been busy working in Vegas as a music journalist, but she's been spending some time near home taking some college courses and stuff trying to get her degree...anyway, enough on that. She's been telling me alot of stuff that she's been talking about with Barry. He would tell her about times when Eve and Maureen would almost come to blows right on the set. Like when they were filming the camping episode, Maureen made some cracks about Eve's hair, or something, and Eve - who was only 10 at the time - took total offense to it and they got into this huge argument, then when they were doing the Clark Tyson episode, Eve really did have a terrible crush on the actor who played Clark and he really did prefer Maureen over Eve, so alot of the friction during that episode was real. Of course, when filming a few scenes of "Sister's Shadow", like when they argued over the awards, Eve was so mad that she actually seemed as though she was about to pounce on Maureen. Then, of course, there were times when Eve saw that Maureen started coming to work without wearing a bra and she'd do the same to get attention, then both of them would compete to see who's dresses were shorter and finally, Eve would have boyfriends who were more interested in Maureen. But he said things really got tense when Maureen developed a crush on Chris and would try to lure him away from Eve. Barry, of course, said he was threatened by this, but it was real entertaining seeing the two girls almost duking it out over Chris. This went on right into the final season of the show. He admitted that it was usually Eve who resented Maureen the most, mainly because of Maureen's popularity and of course boys were a huge factor. Then when the kids had their singing group, Maureen was sort of given special treatment, and while the other kids were angry, Eve was the angriest and there were actually times when they would almost get into these huge physical fights in the dressing room. Of course, Barry has been known to have a vivid imagination, as seen in his book, but according to my cousin, he did seem very sincere about what he was telling her. She then told me that he recently finally got a chance to read the book Maureen has written and of all the Brady castmates, Eve gets the worst end of the deal. Then my cousin told me that she told Barry that our family always loved Jan/Eve better than Marcia/Maureen and then he said that Eve was always a fiesty one and not one to be messed with. Now I have more reasons to love Eve more than Maureen. God, I always knew Marcia was a snob, but who knew Maureen was a total ***** on wheels?

Perhaps some of Marcia and Jan's conflicts were more realistic than we thought!

We know about the famous "Marcia, Marcia, Marcia" conflicts in "Her Sister's Shadow." (My favorite BB episode of all time along with "Bobby's Hero" for writing and content.) but how about the yelling between them in "Marcia Gets Creamed." (a.k.a The Ice Cream Store Episode.) Marcia is let go by Mr. Haskell in favor of Jan and Marcia screams at Jan for taking her job away from her!"

Marcia: "I don't even want to talk to you!!!! You job stealer!!!"

Jan: "I keep telling you it's not my fault!!!!!!"

Jack

I always though Jan was a lot sexier, she had an awkward stage, but to me Jan was the hotter one!

I still love Marcia!

I Hope Eve and Maureen can make up.

I'm curently reading Maureen's book it's really good. I do hope she and Eve can patch things up imo it's nothing more than a series of misunderstandings.

I'm curently reading Maureen's book it's really good. I do hope she and Eve can patch things up imo it's nothing more than a series of misunderstandings.

I don't know about that. I mean, I think I remember reading on a thread here that Marueen had joked that she and Eve were both lesbians.

People believe what is said and read so if that is the case, Maureen should have been more careful.

Yeah, Barry also told my cousin that the yelling in "Marcia Gets Creamed" wasn't supposed to happen. Eve was originally supposed to sound a little more whiney, but Eve really let loose on Maureen. Even while filming the episode at the amusement park, Eve hated that she had to hang around Maureen throughout most of the episode and she really wanted to hang out with Chris. She especially got fed up when these guys kept walking past them and checking out Maureen but Eve got jealous.

I think Eve always had it in for Maureen, because of her popularity, but mainly alot had to do with guys (typical!). I think at one point, Eve was dating some guy who went to visit her on the set and then he got one look at Maureen and went all bonkers over her. Then there was that whole Christopher Knight crush they both had. I even remember Maureen had a fling with the guy who played Jan's husband while filming "The Brady Brides". Maureen did say once that she and Eve were best friends, but Eve refuted that saying that she considered Susan Olsen, Christopher Knight and Mike Lookinland her best friends on the set, and Maureen was just someone she worked with. As for her behavior on Rosie O'Donnell, I thought she was a little cold, but not nasty. She just wanted to talk about her paintings, not some show she was on several years ago where she played a not very desirable character.

Jan would always say Marcia Marcia Marcia.

I just watched "Very Brady Christmas" a few days ago and saw Eve was not happy about being a part of the movie, so there must have been money involved as well as Marcia and Jan not having alot of scenes together, so definately bad blood there. The movie itself wasn't bad (wasn't great either). I did not like the girl who replaced Susan Olsen as Cindy because she was a bad actress and always wining about wanting to be treated as an adult and wanting to go skiing with her friends rather than spend Christmas with the family. Anyway, yeah, there was definately some friction there between Eve and Maureen. Remember when the Brady girls went into the kitchen to help Alice and Carol and Carol asked Cindy to get the ladle to stir the egg nog and Cindy said "But Marcia's right there" and Eve looked over at Maureen and had a really p*ssed off look on her face. An indication that they had some sort of fight or something. Anyway, I think truly alot of their fights had to do with Chris Knight.

I hadn't noticed actually.

And um.. are you the baby of the family? The youngest?

Well, they finally made up. I invited Marcia and Jan over for dinner, each not knowing that the other was coming. After throwing eye daggers at each other for a while, I finally got them to sit down for the meal. Small talk started while I served the pork chops and apple sauce. But it turned into a tirade by Jan about Marcia stealing her boyfriends. Jan picked up a pork chop and threw it at Marcia, but missed because she wasn't wearing her glasses. Instead it hit my favorite vase and knocked it to the ground, shattering it. After putting on her glasses she fired another chop. This one found its mark, breaking Marcia's nose. Marcia tried to scream but her chop got all caught up in her braces. With my dinner destroyed, we went to Mario's Pizza instead, but you should see what the patrons were doing in the booths ! So we left and decided just to get some ice cream, where in the course of our sundeas both girls got hired to run the ice cream parlor. Last I saw them, they were working side by side, the best of friends. But I hear that the parlor is not doing to well, and they may have to let one of the girls go...............

After reading all the comments, it seems that Eve's and Maureen's friendship was not that strong to begin with, if all this stuff was happening behind the scenes.One comment like Maureen made shouldn't have made Eve that furious, not totally, but then again she probably had a lot of pent-up anger from all those years of being second fiddle.Sad.

I just watched "Very Brady Christmas" a few days ago and saw Eve was not happy about being a part of the movie, so there must have been money involved as well as Marcia and Jan not having alot of scenes together, so definately bad blood there. The movie itself wasn't bad (wasn't great either). I did not like the girl who replaced Susan Olsen as Cindy because she was a bad actress and always wining about wanting to be treated as an adult and wanting to go skiing with her friends rather than spend Christmas with the family. Anyway, yeah, there was definately some friction there between Eve and Maureen. Remember when the Brady girls went into the kitchen to help Alice and Carol and Carol asked Cindy to get the ladle to stir the egg nog and Cindy said "But Marcia's right there" and Eve looked over at Maureen and had a really p*ssed off look on her face. An indication that they had some sort of fight or something. Anyway, I think truly alot of their fights had to do with Chris Knight.

Sorry I've been neglecting this topic lately, but I just found an interview by Sherwood Schwartz...I wish I could find it so I could provide a link.

Anyway, Sherwood was being interviewed about Maureen's book and admitted that he was shocked by alot of what was said about Maureen's personal life as well as what she had to say about her castmates on "The Brady Bunch". Anyway, he also talked alot about what the kids' relationships were like on and off the set. He did talk a little bit about how he tried to get Maureen and Barry to stop flirting with each other so they could behave more like brother and sister. He even said something like he watches the show today and notices how flirty "Marcia" and "Greg" were at times. But the thing he talked mostly about was how catty Maureen and Eve's relationship was. He said something along the lines of it making Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton looking like something out of Disney, or something. Anyway, he said most of their clashes came from Maureen being very sweet and Eve being more moody and rebellious. Yeah, he did admit alot of their quarrels were over guys, particularily Christopher Knight. But some fights were over wardrobe, Eve complaining about how Maureen's "preperations" would hold up production, Eve wanted to walk around not wearing a bra to get attention then Maureen did the same thing, she also resented the fact that when the kids would rehearse for their singing gig they all went to Maureen's house instead of hers, she hated how Maureen got all the female lead vocals during the "Brady Kids" tour, she got furious when Maureen got to record a record with Christopher Knight, she even got jealous when Maureen got to kiss Davy Jones because she also liked him and finally Eve hated that Maureen/Marcia always won out in her "life lesson" episodes while Eve/Jan was basically made to look like a looser. Sherwood even admitted that he was shocked Eve even agreed to to "The Brady Brides" then "A Very Brady Christmas", but then later learned money was the object. But he admitted much of the reason why "Brady Brides" didn't fly was because Eve and Maureen were so hostile towards each other. So, when they filmed "Brady Christmas", he did his best to keep them as far away from each other as possible, though he did admit there was still tension between them. He did say that Maureen really wanted to be friends with Eve, because she had very few girlfriends and aside from Florence Henderson, Ann B. Davis and Susan Olsen, was mainly friendly with the guys on the show. But she really wanted to be friends with Eve, because they were closer in age. He would even at times pull Eve to the side and try to talk her into being friends with Maureen, but Eve would say things like how she only saw Maureen as her co-star and an acquaintence and not a friend. He said it all basically boils down to jealousy and cattiness and teenage hormones.

Anyway, I'll try to locate the article for you, but in the meantime, I hope I did a decent job at remembering the details.

^ Oh yes! If you can find the link, please post it here. I'd love to read the article. :cool:

That would be great if you could find the article, but in the meantime, you did an excellent job of remembering all that stuff!

Well, they finally made up. I invited Marcia and Jan over for dinner, each not knowing that the other was coming. After throwing eye daggers at each other for a while, I finally got them to sit down for the meal. Small talk started while I served the pork chops and apple sauce. But it turned into a tirade by Jan about Marcia stealing her boyfriends. Jan picked up a pork chop and threw it at Marcia, but missed because she wasn't wearing her glasses. Instead it hit my favorite vase and knocked it to the ground, shattering it. After putting on her glasses she fired another chop. This one found its mark, breaking Marcia's nose. Marcia tried to scream but her chop got all caught up in her braces. With my dinner destroyed, we went to Mario's Pizza instead, but you should see what the patrons were doing in the booths ! So we left and decided just to get some ice cream, where in the course of our sundeas both girls got hired to run the ice cream parlor.

:lol: you worked about 8 or 9 plots and subplots into that answer... good job!

Not to mention real life sisters Olivia de Havilland and Joan Fontaine. They are both in their 90s and still don't speak. Such a shame...ohno:


I know about that rivalry as well, and know that also 1940s big band singers Betty Hutton and Glenn Miller sister Marion Hutton, likewise [though both are dead now-=Marian 20 years ago and change, Betty a year or so.No relation to colleagues Ina Ray, a female bandleader of the forties or singer June.]

Add Susan Cowsill to the list of those angry at Maureen..:(

^ Susan Cowsill has a grudge against her. Why???

I can relate to this story though. I know how resentment can make you into a person you don't want to be. It's probably best that Eve doesn't speak to her if Maureen was such a toxic person to her. Some relationships are just not meant to have a happy ending or be fixed.

In Maureen's book, the two were shoplifting and Maureen somehow managed to get away, leaving all the blame on Susan.

That explains it!!! Shoplifting, drugs, promiscuity, geez Maureen has been through a lot. I feel a lot of empathy for her, personally.

^ That's just the tip of the iceberg. Her family life was a complete mess.

In all the years they worked together, I highly doubt Maureen and Eve were ever really close friends. I've heard that Eve was always extremely jealous of Maureen's popularity and looks, there were even times when Eve would have one of her boyfriends visit the set and Maureen, always being the flirt, would strut around in a short skirt. Then there was their crush on Chris, which I don't think is still an issue today (both women are happily married and have kids of their own) but back then both of them were fighting for his attention. Of course, Eve won out. It was only fair being that Maureen was already shagging Barry Williams. I even read that when the kids had their singing group, Eve really grew resentful of Maureen allegedly because Maureen was being paid more money and was being given special treatment and had a huge ego about the whole thing. From that point on, Eve and Maureen were barely even on speaking terms, which might be the reason why during the final season you could really feel the tension between them during their scenes together. Then when "The Brady Bunch Variety Hour" was on, Eve decided not to take part in it (smart move, Eve) because partially she was filming a TV movie and because she didn't want to be associated with her character or "The Brady Bunch"...but mostly, she wanted nothing to do with Maureen. Even during "The Brady Brides", which Eve did take part in mostly for the money, the two of them were constantly at odds with each other. By "A Very Brady Christmas", if you notice both of them are barely even in the same room with each other in the movie, because Eve and Maureen were not speaking at all. I think, even now, Eve has always been resentful of all the attention aimed at Maureen, even thougn Eve is a much better actress (and at least in my opinion far more attractive) and you can sort of understand that because Eve had to spend years of her adolescence playing second fiddle and her character, Jan, was always being portrayed as a loser, while Marcia was the "pretty" and "popular" one who always got the guy and was an overachiever. You just knew that the "My Sister's Shadow" episode hit very close to Eve, because when she was saying "Marcia, Marcia, Marcia!!" she was really upset and she really wanted to say "Maureen, Maureen, Maureen!!" then she almost lost it when she said "I'm tired of being in Marcia's shadow all the time!!" and she flubbed her line, you knew she sort of broke character. I never really liked Maureen/Marcia while watching the show, because she was always too prissy and stuck up, nor did I ever see why guys thought she was such a knockout. I always loved Jan because as geeky as she was in the earlier seasons, there was always something very beautiful about her and she was more relatable. Now, Maureen's going around spilling secrets not only about herself, but about her castmates and I here she really goes to town on Eve, talking about her attempted trysts with Chris Knight and other really private stuff (nothing about the alleged "lesbian" thing). Lastly, I really can't blame Eve for being angered by Maureen saying she had a thing for her, which started all these rumors to begin with, because she never really came out and corrected it afterwards. Face it, Maureen's just a publicity hound who craves attention now that you have Miley Cyrus, Paris Hilton, Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan dominating the headlines.

At least my avatar picture currently [Amanda Bynes] is not like that. Nor Abigal Breslin.:)[pic changed..]

Susan Coswill hated Maurren intensely. Maureen got Susan in trobule for shoplifting. As mentioned., [I've read part at Costco stores.]

Maureen did say in the book that she still feels bad about it and would apologize to Susan should their paths cross again. I hope that happens.

Personally i perfer jan/eve over marica.... anyday and time and even susan olsen came to the defense of eve thinking marica was out trying to make more money on her book. Not everyone has to get along... but i also think marica got way too much get aways in the show and real life... i mean who leaves your friend behind when you think its fun to shoplift just not being caught

I heard that Maureen tried to reach out to Eve because she thought the whole thing should end and it was silly, but Eve was not receptive to it.

hearing is one thing but it takes two to tangle the fact that Maureen tried isn't enough.... she didn't have any effort clearly.... Olsen done with there fewed and i can't blame her... But Maureen allow someone to take rap of something else... and she wanted to say sorry so you have more than one person not liking her.

I take eve plumb over Marica anyday at this point. I mean we don't have to agree but to side with Maureen without full fact is just sad... the reason i said with eve plumb

1. she show her true colors when she left her friend to take blame for shoplifting

2. susan olsen also back up eve plumb over some of what Maurreen said.

3. even the writer was surprise to hear parts of this if i was correct and reading some of the things.... I don't Muarren bad looking but she got jealous of eve cause she developed early and i read comments that jan didn't want to wear bra... so than Marica didn't want to wear bra...

All I said is Maureen tried to contact Eve at some point and Eve turned it down.

Funny, in a way they really were like sisters. Eve was jealous of Maureen's looks and the attention she received. I know a lot of you posted that you think Eve is prettier but I think that's all women posting that. Maureen's way better looking than Eve and always was. Not that I like Maureen better. I've heard too many stories about her being a stuck up b*tch and I'm sure her interest in Christopher Knight was fueled by her desire to piss off Eve. Things like that which happen when you are a teenager stay with you for the rest of your life, so it's not surprising they didn't and don't get along. I think it's more than amusing that Maureen's life started falling apart when her looks stopped getting her work, even if they were crappy Love Boat and Fantasy Island appearances. Everyone has the right to be friends and stay in touch with whomever they want to and Eve shouldn't have to be nice to Maureen because it makes fans who grew up watching the show feel better.

If memory serves correctly, I think Maureen may have been jealous of Eve because she "developed" earlier than she did or had more pleasing physical attributes.

Maureen is the more obvious beauty, but Eve's was stunning once your eyes adjusted.

I don't know what might have gone down between them or even if these two may still be on the outs. However; I think they'd have a better chance of at least being cordial to each other if stuff supposedly said about each other years on back wasn't constantly rehashed.

In other words, I think all parties would do well just to back off and let them be regardless of whether they stay/remain on the outs.

I have seen Eve Plumb in interviews and whatnot and she comes across to me as sort of an unpleasant person. Back in the 1990's she was on a talk show (Jenny Jones) on stage with a panel of former child actors....and she basically refused to talk about The Brady Bunch, which was the damn reason she was there in the first place! She wanted to talk about her art, or whatever she was doing, no one cares about her adult life and I think that annoys her. Here is bits of that show.

She does come across as a dipsh*t. She tries to be all smiles, but she's really saying f.y. to BB fans. I have little patience for this kind of crap from minor celebrities. Some actors, highly talented no less, struggle for years and would give their right arm to be/have been on a hit series. Look, if it snaps her girdle so much to talk about BB, or show appreciation to fans of the show--then just stay in obscurity--many of us will get over it.

Oh and BTW thx Young Fang for the clip. And yes I think you're right: very few care about her adult life-but probably would if she showed MORE RESPECT to fans of the show.

I'm grateful that the celebrities I've met have all been great. Ann Meara was a LIVING DOLL and Whoopi Goldberg was SUPER NICE

I'm confused on a couple of points. Can anyone offer any insight here?

1.I get the impression from reading these threads that Eve's resentment toward Maureen starting from the Brady Bunch days. Is that correct?
If it is, then why did the two of them team up to do the Brady Brides then?
Obviously Eve would have to have been talking to Maureen then.

2. I also think that Eve doesn't want to be reminded of the Brady Bunch.
Then why did she appear in all the Brady specials, except for the first one - the variety hour? The only Brady special Eve didn't appear in she wouldn't be playing Jan Brady anyway. Eve is actually the only Brady daughter that appeared in all the specials where she would be playing the character.

3. Could the main reason that Eve doesn't want to be reminded of the Brady Bunch is that as an adult, the Brady Brides flopped?

4.Now on to Maureen, why didn't she wish Florence Henderson a Happy 80th Birthday a couple of years back on the Talk. Eve did send a video.

Dianne 3....

At least from my YouTube clip above, she does not want to be reminded of it.

I think her and Barry Williams were the only actual professional actors before the show began, with Williams more of a stage performer. Eve Plumb was actually a serious child actor on the same lines with people like Jodie Foster, and it might have been her on Taxi Driver and on to fame and fortune if it were not for that damned show.:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

Weren't there like two attempts at doing the Brady Bunch as adult children, one was the Brady Brides, and the other The Bradys, which was actually more of a family drama? Both of those flopped horribly, which made her comeback on television a failure. So she is probably on the prozac now for those crazy days.

Christopher Knight, her same age TV brother is rich doing something outside of television. Peter was my favorite kid, and the most normal of all of them. I am going to check YouTube to see if they have the volcano episode.

Yong Fang: a few points

I agree that it seems like Eve doesn't want to be reminded of BB. My point was that it is Eve herself that contradicts herself by appearing on all these Brady Bunch specials.

I saw Eve on an episode from Lassie 1967. She was good in it. Wasn't Maureen also a professional actor before the BB?

Peter was also my favourite Brady. Unfortunately though, CK is also the most divorced Brady kid.

In the video below, Maureen and Eve clearly snub each other in one of the only reunions where all Brady kids got together.

At what mark? I don't feel like watching all of it.

At what mark? I don't feel like watching all of it.

The "snub" is in the first five minutes, when the cast all appear and greet each other. They don't appear to hug or say "hello" to each other, as most of the others do. However, you can't rule out that it just didn't make it into the final cut. This program, like all of them, is obviously heavily edited so I think everyone needs to factor that into their conclusions.

It's easy to jump in and yell "fire" but sometimes the smoke is just a pipe or a foggy day.

...and this my friends is the reason why CBS Television Studios (The successor to Paramount Domestic Television) Can't get another reunion movie off the ground with the surviving cast - which they have wanted to do for YEARS, not just anniversary years.and they don't want to do the replacement thing again!

All or Nothing,so it's been nothing.
