she appeared on the Brady Christmas Movie while SUSAN OLSEN was not??


Weird that everyone was iniolved except Cindy


Anyone know why she wasn't part of the movie?

Here is what she said in an interview:

In 1988, on “A Very Brady Christmas”, you were replaced by Jennifer Runyon… Why didn’t you appear as “Cindy”?
They were being stingy! I'm sorry but at this point Paramount had made a billion dollars off Brady and we make nothing on reruns. I had a honeymoon to go on in Jamaica as well. I decided to take a stand because they were doing this "You're the youngest so we'll pay you the least" thing. I was like, “They've GOT to be kidding" and what I didn't realize was that they didn't need me anyway. They only had to deliver five out of six "kids" in the cast so I was expendable. They only wanted to pay five of us. With that in mind, I was quite happy to go to Jamaica rather than be in the special. The only sad thing was to know that everyone was going to be together and I might not see them. Maureen McCormick arranged a dinner for us all when I got back from Montego Bay. That was nice and I had no regrets about sitting out for one reunion.

What did you think of Jennifer Runyan’s performance?
When I saw "Cindy" seated at the children's table I thought "Better her than me!" I think Jennifer is much prettier than I am so I was OK with her as a replacement. A few years ago we met, just by accident, at a Burger King! We were there with our kids. We hugged. She's totally nice and got out of the business to be a Mom. I think she's great.

And Maureen McCormick was not in The Bradys, but Susan Olsen was.

The only time the entire cast was together again, was for The Brady Girls Get Married (1982).
