MICHAEL DAVIS Very good! People in the comments section seem to be wondering why she'd even come on the show if she's so disinterested. Let's be honest - most people wouldn't reject a fairly easy pay day of a few thousand dollars to be on a talk show now-and-again (I'm assuming she earned appearance fees that day?). I'm not sure how she earns her living now-a-days, but getting another decent pay day should be motivation enough. She doesn't necessarily have to be that starved for the money either! That being said, she might have been a little bit more cooperative than she was ALTHOUGH I understand her not wanting to be too bothered in public. Also, she might be the type that doesn't care to continue re-living the past and prefers to look forward. So, I can see her point of view BUT if she agreed to do the show, she should probably be at least a little bit more approachable and cooperative for the talk show's sake, any way.

But she has so much resentment for the role she played maybe it's because it limited her not sure. But she needs to get to a point where she's okay with being a Brady.

It’s not about having a sense of humor, like she said. It’s having a certain class and respect of knowing how important this show is to so many people. Maybe she doesn’t realize that because she was the actual actress working on the show and can’t place herself in the audience shoes, but seeing this was definitely very shocking. I feel like now maybe she has put whatever was bothering her to rest as she is working with her fellow cast mates from the show on HGTV’s, A Very Brady Renovation, and it seems like she’s enjoying herself. Maybe she was hurt by someone(s) from a long time ago or something bad happened to her, I really don’t know and only she knows, but I hope she can at least see how much good came from the show and she can understand how important her character as Jan is as well as all the characters from the show.

This was 1995. "The Brady Bunch Movie" came out in February of that year. Sherwood Schwartz, the creator of The Brady Bunch, was one of the producers of that film. In the movie, they really play up the Jan character as the "ugly duckling" and the "black sheep" of the family. It probably really pissed off Eve that her character was turned into a punch line. Eve seemed way more positive about The Brady Bunch prior to the mid-90s, watch her appearance with Barry Williams and Susan Olsen on the MTV show "Remote Control" in 1989 for example. I'm guessing the movie (and its sequel) as well the cast receiving no residuals at all from the show, played a part in Eve's bitterness. I honestly can't say I blame her much either.

I like the Jan Brady character... but Eve Plumb’s character?? ABSOLUTELY NOT!

[@MrLemmy2000]

she looks good with the brown hair

[@honestperson6280]

Asking Eve Plumb to say "Marcia, Marcia, Marcia!" is like asking Jimmie Walker to say "Dynomite!" or Henry Winkler to say "Aaaayyyyy!"

[@kenb2671]

Or asking Jaleel White to say, “Did I do that?”

[@fundies2]

wasnt she in the brady BRIDES in the 80s? she did play Jan again after the brady bunch if i remember correctly.

[@adambohman6405]

I remember watching this when it was first aired, I must have been 11 or 12. Up until that day, I loved "Jan Brady", mostly because I felt like the Jan in my family. After watching this, it made me sad. #crazypeopleproblems

[@ItsFrankieBoy]

“No it’s not bitterness” then she proceeds to explain exactly why she’s so bitter lol

[@aragorniielessar1894]

Some people seem to not realize this was made 26 years ago. How she speaks about Brady Bunch now is very different from back then.

[@Person-mh6xq]

Still. She definitely had a bad attitude on this talk show

[@aragorniielessar1894]

@@Person-mh6xq I agree, but she was probably tired of getting asked the same question over and over again year after year, and i mean who can blame her ? I think you also would get tired if you where asked the same questions over and over and over and over again year after year after year.

[@JannaBrewer]

It seems to be one on every tv show...Tina Louise from Gilligan's Island...Susan Dey from Partridge Family...Eve Plumb from Brady Bunch...& so on. It seems interesting that they're all female..hmmm..

[@MrRJMGREEN]

***** I met her. She was stiff and stand offish to me, barely polite. She was downright rude to my friend.

[@MrRJMGREEN]

Jean Stapleton too.

[@MrRJMGREEN]

Vivian Vance too.

[@sjtalksandlife]

Well she looks good here. People dont understand she is an actor, and it was just a job in her eyes. She dont want to be called Jan Brady all her life. It was just a tv show. I grew up watching the show as well, and I was a fan. Its just a TV show, thats not who she is..😉

[@rvpstudioscanada3991]

And to think 🤔 she was Jackie’s FIRST mom on That ‘70’s Show BEFORE Brooke Shields took over the role.

[@thomasbrown3356]

Asking a middle aged woman to act like a child. People are so self absorbed.

[@JohnCee754]

In a way, I can sympathise with Eve Plumb -- she's probably been hearing "Brady Bunch" questions all her life, after playing the role when she was a child. I'd be a little cranky if the only thing anyone ever asked me about was my newspaper route I had when I was 11. On the other hand, why appear on a show like this if she doesn't want to answer questions about the only thing the public knows her from?

[@les907]

Three things. One, for the paycheck (obviously). Two, for closure (show her progression, if any, as an actress or whatever she does since then). Three: to remain relevant.

[@rodlabbe2976]

For closure? She doesn't need to go on a talk show and be rude to find "closure." Come on.

[@zzzut]

I remember that show. If she didn't want to be there, she should have stayed home instead of disappointing fans of the sitcom. What really angered me is that she only wanted to plug her paintings. She is nothing but an opportunist.

[@jasona9]

The poster of this clip needs to walk in Eve Plumb's shoes. Imagine that you are trying to work as an artist and actress...you make public appearances, and all people want to talk about is what you did thirty-odd years ago. The Brady Bunch has never been off the air, the cast does not get any money from that, and the show hurt many of them that wanted to get other acting jobs because of "typecasting". If Eve is bitter...she is entitled.

[@AA-bz8lf]

Yeah if she was getting royalties from it then it would be a different matter! People need to shut up. You would be bitter too if you were used like this as a child; then discarded and never paid for your troubles...

[@abergethirty]

Joseph N Jonathon Harris refused to acknowledge or talk about anything Lost in Space related unless they were paying him to promote something. I'm guessing she was paid for her appearance, because she rarely talks about it.

[@twain103]

***** WHY did she THINK she was on The Jenny Jones show? She was rude to the people asking the questions.What DID she do after The Brady Bunch. Its NOT like she had a tv career like Linda Blair.Linda B. had some GREAT tv movies,AND she was in one of the GREATEST HORROR MOVIES,"THE EXORCIST",JAN.

[@Brend.0]

The real bitterness should come from the fact that they didn't pay the cast any royalties after 1973. 👀

[@dannygillingham7904]

👍 so true 👍

[@DA90027]

Maureen is a sweetheart on and off camera Eve has always been a pain in the ass. She is lucky to be remembered fondly for anything lots of actors never become pop culture icons

[@Person-mh6xq]

Agreed!

[@kenb2671]

Agreed. Maureen turned out to be the better of Eve as far as The Brady Bunch went.

[@kcmaldonado3948]

Marsha! Marsha! Marsha!

[@CajunBooThing]

Trying to keep a sense of humor? Oh yeah, she's a real fucking sweetheart...

[@cdinsf]

Isn't that why she's on that talk show in the first place? It's not because she invented the wheel.

[@evanechoes253]

This was such a weird interview with Eve. She knew what the topic was. Former child stars. And what is the discussion going to be about. The shows that made these former child stars famous. I think she deliberately answered her questions that way. She wanted the money for the appearance, but wanted people to think she had more things than the Brady Bunch. I bet if you added all her movie and tv credits time up, her entire career wouldn't be more than her first two season on the Brady Bunch. Sad to go onto this type of show and be so rude to the people who were so excited to see her.

[@BobDingleful]

I remember watching that episode when it was first aired and my lasting memory of Eve Plumb when it comes to the Brady phenomena was her extreme bitterness - all from this interview.

[@digitalgr8ness]

A case of life imitating art. It's actually interesting to watch. She's pretty bitter here. I think it has a lot to do with her still being young during this interview and trying to branch out to find other roles outside of the "Jan Brady" stereotype. It was very difficult for all of them not to be typecast. It's unfair. They were all great actors. I think to her detriment, instead of graciously embracing the fame she gained from that series, she comes off way too abrasive and a bit too self-important in this clip. She actually embodies the whiny little Jan Brady stereotype that she so desperately wanted to escape. I recently saw her on HGTV's "A Very Brady Renovation". I think with age, she's finally come to accept her role and embrace her history with that show. It's tough being young and typecast in Hollywood, especially when you have so much more to offer. I can understand her frustration. She probably did this interview with the intention of getting more exposure. It probably didn't help her.

[@nassauguy48]

9 out of 10 child actors do not go anywhere once they get older. She should be grateful for what she DID achieve.

[@markpatient2766]

She does come across as aloof or bitter and perhaps she was but she has had such a CG push and pull relationship with the Brady Bunch. She is much much better and accepting of her place in tv icons. And she is one of them. My god, she should be so honored that she will forever be remembered in the American lexicon.

[@Zantor135]

What was the point of having her on the show?

[@johndoe-xq4sq]

None of us has had to walk in her shoes. Be Respectful. She probably has handled her career way better than any of us could.

[@Person-mh6xq]

You missed the entire point! You might want to explore your own issues if you couldn’t see how inappropriate she was on a talk show about her Brady bunch career.

[@tjwash2]

I remember this!! I was like why did you go on a show to talk about your only real job and then tell people talking about your only real job is such a drag?

[@ebonylady]

TJ Wash They cut the part where Jenny told her that if she felt that way then don't come and the audience clapped.

[@genocash8436]

Seeing her here, I imagine she hated The Brady Bunch movie. She should be more gracious, people look up to her and mean no harm

[@yellowfever8336]

She was the best actress on the show. She really was. I wish she would embrace it a bit. I liked her character - as a middle child myself.

[@scottpedroley5851]

yeh!....now she is referred to as the brady brat one !

[@yellowfever8336]

Thomas Bird I really think that she was the best actress on that show. The others have all done pretty much nothing. She also was great in a movie called Dawn portrait of a Teenage Runaway. She should embrace the roll of Jan because she truly is beloved and remembered for being the middle child. Peter was also the middle child. He went through some identity crisis situations as well. Who can forget pork chops and applesauce?

[@kenb2671]

Being a middle child myself I fell in love with Jan and thought Peter was like me.

[@RJS1974]

So she was basically Jan in real life.

[@pantherman74kd]

Eve is super awesome. She has more to offer than Jan Brady. I can dig her being annoyed. Give the woman a chance. Give her more work and give it to her NOW!!!!!

[@rvpstudioscanada3991]

What are you??? Her Agent?????

[@FlixCreEightR]

Why did she even agree to be on the show ?! LOL!

[@tklagesse67]

People are sympathetic towards her for appearing rude or bitter when asked questions about The Brady Bunch. However, she WAS on this talk show for a reason.. and that is because of The Brady Bunch. It is hard as an actor when you are typecast. Still, it is all in the attitude in which you are gracious for even being remembered. For example: Curtis Armstrong, most famously known as Booger from Revenge of the Nerds. He's stated that he knows that that is all that he will be remembered as, and he's like, "Hey! I'm glad they remember me," because he could have been a forgotten member of the supporting cast... like the Judy, Gilbert's love interest. You know... what's her name...

[@Dan.50]

I think she still hated Marcia, even though I think that she actually blossomed to be as pretty as her as she got older. I saw this when it first aired and it has flavored my thoughts of her ever since. I'm glad that she has now lost some of the hard edge and is embracing her past a little more. But this interview was shocking to say the least.

[@jtrain5615]

Eve plumb's interviews are the cringe-worthy BEST on KZbin. She has no idea how boring she is when she talks about her current projects, or her art, which is why the interviewer HAS to bring up the Brady Bunch, to keep the audience from going to sleep. I can sympathize with her, but unfortunately, she is just not dynamic enough as a celebrity to shed the "Jan." The Brady Bunch (and her reluctance to it) are the only things that make her complex and interesting.

[@Dan.50]

I agree. She gives herself way too much credit.

[@brucepowell9252]

Maureen wrote all about the stuff that happened back then, and Eve got plenty annoyed about that too. As a kid, I thought Eve was sexier, but later on, Maureen proved to be the nicer person, and much more accomplished actress.

[@catlady8324]

Eve Plumb should have to open every interview with "Marsha! Marsha! Marsha!" It's just like how William Shatner hates (to acknowledge) Star Trek. Funny, as in odd.

[@prestongolden9901]

LoL!

[@nibora4895]

This was all the way back in the early 90s. Isn't that when these kinds of talk shows were popular? She just reunited with the cast to do that A Very Brady Renovation on HGTV, so I don't think she's quite as bitter nowadays as she was then. I think the way she was acting was kind of funny myself😂😂😂😂
