10 Cast Members from 'THE BRADY BUNCH' Have Passed Away

[@pcl8993]

Those were a lot of actors that I didn’t realize were in the Brady Bunch. Thanks for highlighting them.👍👏

[@glennweeks7176]

I loved the Brady Bunch.... still watch the reruns when I catch them. It brings back memories of a time in my life where times were simple. My large family often dealt with the same issues the Brady's had to live through.

[@patyarns7760]

@glennweeks7176 I loved the show to. It's a good thing there are reruns still of these great 70s tv shows, for some of these disrespectful youngsters who watch too much of this stupid garbage on TV nowadays. They need to see what real television and quality shows were all about, as well as still should be.

Tomorrow marks 10 years since Ann B. Davis passed away. All the adults have passed away but all 6 actors that played the kids are still alive.

Correct. Barry Williams, Maureen McCormick, Christopher Knight and the other who played the kid roles are still alive. Media needs to get their sh@# straight before they come on here or anywhere quoting info.

Jim Backus actually appeared on the Brady Bunch twice. His first appearance was the old prospector in the ghost town on the way to the Grand Canyon. His second appearance was in an episode called the Hustler as Harry Mathews, another one of Mike Brady's bosses.

Robert Reed, Florence Henderson, Ann B Davis, and Allan Melvin were the only ones who were really part of the cast. The rest were guests.

One of the things you forgot to mention when you were talking about Florence Henderson is that she was a Broadway star. She was also a singer why you would pick to mention that she was a spokes woman for Wesson over the fact that she was a Broadway star makes no sense. Also, you did forget to mention Davy Jones.

[@beckyriege5572]

That was more than a little clickbait. Many of those that died were not "cast members," they were one time guest starring roles, even though they were famous actors. And why is Susan Olson, who played Cindy Brady pictured in the thumbnail, implying that she was one of the dead. Liars!

[@andrewweisneck1102]

Most likely because people confused her with Anissa Jones who played Buffy on Family Affair who died of a drug overdose in 1976. As for the guest stars, I suppose it was because they made those episodes memorable and Mr. & Mrs Howell was probably because Gilligan's Island was also produced by Sherwood Schwartz.

[@beckyriege5572]

@@andrewweisneck1102 BS! Anissa Jones died in 1976, long before this, "people who have since died" video was ever made. And whatever happened to doing a little fact checking before posting a fraudulent thumbnail about someone's death? They didn't have to be confused about anything. And the title clearly states cast members, " Of The Brady Bunch" that have passed away. There is no ambiguity there. Quit making excuses for them. With posting videos, especially when posting about this particular topic, comes some responsibility. They did this for Clicks! Period!
