Maureen McCormick
You cannot deny that Marcia was the most beloved character on The Brady Bunch, played by Maureen McCormick. With the conclusion of the massively acclaimed show in 1974, McCormick featured in other hit television shows, such as Happy Days and Love Boat. Few people could shake their association of her with The Brady Bunch, however, something similar to what Daniel Radcliffe experienced with Harry Potter. It was this star power that landed her so many different roles, however.
McCormick has made something of a comeback in recent years, appearing in Australia’s Dancing with the Stars and I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! McCormick is no stranger to difficulty, however, having battled substance abuse for many years prior to finally admitting that she needed aid.
