It's been 50 years since the first episode of The Brady Bunch aired on television, but the bonds formed between the cast members remain as strong as ever. Maureen McCormick, who played Marcia Brady, shared some sweet memories of her late co-star Robert Reed, who portrayed her on-screen father, Mike Brady. Let me tell you, these stories bring back so much nostalgia.
A Glimpse Into Maureen's Cherished Moments with Robert Reed
Maureen, now 63, spoke exclusively to Closer Weekly about her fond memories of Robert, revealing a side of him that wasn't always visible on-screen. She talked about her love for gardening and how it connects her to Robert. "I have this deep love for gardens and being outdoors," Maureen said. "Bob had this beautiful place in Pasadena with the most stunning rose gardens. It's funny, because now my backyard is full of roses, and every time I'm out there, I think of him." She went on to share a touching story about a special rose from the Brady house. "There was one rose that had been there from the start, and they took it out of the ground and placed it in a really special spot, just outside the family room, to honor Bob. It was such a beautiful gesture," she added with a warm smile.
Lessons Learned from Florence Henderson
Maureen isn't just reminiscing about Robert. She also opened up about her time with Florence Henderson, who played her mom, Carol Brady. Maureen, a Dancing With the Stars alum, spoke candidly about the life lessons Florence taught her. "Florence was such an incredible person," Maureen shared. "The biggest lesson I learned from her was the importance of finding joy in life, even in the toughest moments. I spent a lot of time with her before she passed away, and she truly taught me how to find happiness in everything. It's something I carry with me every day." Her words are a testament to the lasting impact Florence had on her life.
