Marcia in the
Brady Bunch. She is now a
country singer and has an album
When you Get a Little Lonely, and has a daughter
Natalie. She was on
television before the Brady Bunch, singing in
Pillsbury Doughboy commercials, and was in
Bewitched. Remarkably, she was also the
voice of the first
talking doll in the twentieth century,
Chatty Cathy. (An associate of
Edison's,
Charles Batchelor, had made one in the 1880s; we must assume it wasn't practical.)
Her first solo single was called "Little Bird". Her favourite episode of the Brady Bunch is where she and her mother dressed up as hobos and sang. As each episode contained a little moral lesson to make them worth watching, we may ask what Maureen ("Mo") felt was the "most valuable learning experience" she got from the series.
My most valuable learning experience while growing up in the Brady Bunch and later appearing on many talk shows, is to "Speak no Evil, See no Evil, and Tell No Evil", and to be a good listener.
There is a chance to
chat with her at 9 p.m. EST on 26 January 2001. If you're reading this after that date, I'm afraid you've missed out for this time, but check www.ttinet.com/mccormick for updates.
No I'm not an obsessed saddo, I just quite liked her, that's all. And I preferred Susan Dey.
