Susan Olsen was Cindy, right? Yeah, that is hard to believe. Susan is actually on Facebook. I'm not friends with her, but I have several friends who are.

On a lot of pages of this site (including this show's page), I have posted messages about my fondness for older women. Christine Baranski (who played Marcia's friend Paula in "The Slumber Caper) and Blythe Danner are two that I am quite fond of. Now my all-time favorite actress who was already old when I first took a liking to her is someone with a connection to this very show. Her name is Hazel Shermet and she was married to the late Larry Rhine who was very involved in producing and directing "The Brady Bunch". If she is still living, she is ninety years old! Well, three that I like who will be turning fifty next year are Kari Michaelson, Lea Thompson and Julia Louis-Dreyfus. Well, now that I see that Susan Olsen has turned forty-nine this year, I realize that she is in the same boat as they are! I had no idea! Next year I will really have my hands full wishing the four of them a trip to the half-century mark!
