‘The Brady Bunch’ Kids: Where Are They Now & Which One Went on a Homophobic Rant?
Like many child stars, the cast of family TV classic The Brady Bunch often struggled to find their footing as adults in showbiz after their most famous roles were finished. Here’s a quick look at what the six Brady Bunch kids are up to now that they’re in their 60s.
Mike Lookinland (63)
Bobby Brady
Mike Lookinland spent most of his post-Brady career in showbiz working behind the scenes as an electrical and camera technician. Like many former child stars, he struggled to find his career footing after his biggest role. He currently owns Just Add Water Custom Concrete in Salt Lake City, and he got to show off his work in 2019’s A Very Brady Renovation on HGTV. In 2022, he joined costars Barry Williams and Christopher Knight as mummies on FOX’s The Masked Singer.
Eve Plumb (66)
Jan Brady
First appearing in TV commercials at age 6, Eve Plumb followed up her Brady Bunch role with a steady list of TV guest appearances and stage performances. Most recently, Plumb performed the voice of Big Judy on the Freeform animated comedy Praise Petey. She has also been an accomplished painter since the 1990s, and turned her artistic skills into a housewares line called PlumbGoods and a coffee collection that benefits animal welfare charities.
Barry Williams (69)
Greg Brady
Barry Williams went on to act in TV and musical theater following The Brady Bunch, and had a stint on General Hospital in 1984. His 1992 autobiography, Growing Up Brady: I Was a Teenage Greg, was turned into a 2000 TV movie. He recorded the solo album The Return of Johnny Bravo (1999), and he formed the band Barry Williams and the Traveliers. Last fall, he competed on Dancing With the Stars, and he currently cohosts The Real Brady Bros podcast with Christopher Knight.
Christopher Knight (66)
Peter Brady
After a number of TV guest appearances in the 1970s and ’80s, Christopher Knight embarked on a career in the tech industry. Knight has been married four times, most famously to model Adrianne Curry from 2006-12. The couple was the subject of the 2005-08 VH1 reality series My Fair Brady. He founded the Christopher Knight Home brand of household furnishings. In 2023, Knight appeared in the documentary Truelove: The Film, which raised awareness about the rare genetic disorder Williams syndrome.
Maureen McCormick (68)
Marcia Brady
Like her Brady Bunch costars, Maureen McCormick participated in many of the reunion TV specials. She’s appeared on reality TV shows like I’m a Celebrity … Get Me Out of Here! and Celebrity Fit Club, and competed in Season 23 of Dancing With the Stars. Her 2008 memoir, Here’s the Story: Surviving Marcia Brady and Finding My True Voice, revealed her struggles with substance abuse and depression. In 2021, she cohosted the HGTV series Frozen in Time.
Susan Olsen (63)
Cindy Brady
Susan Olsen’s post-Brady acting career was sparse, and she took up art, graphic design, talk radio and animal welfare advocacy in the decades that followed. Olsen coauthored the 2009 coffee table book Love to Love You Bradys: The Bizarre Story of The Brady Bunch Variety Hour. She cohosted the Ober and Olsen Los Angeles talk radio show in the 1990s, and her Two Chicks Talkin’ Politics radio show gig ended in controversy in 2016 after homophobic statements and hate speech were revealed.
