Eve Plumb is an intelligent insightful artist. She is very grounded and never becomes swept away or "giddy" when discussing The Brady Bunch. I always look for UA-cams with her in them. Love hearing her.
Thank you, Eve, for being real and intelligent and not adding to all the "drama" that's (apparently) been drummed up over the years. I loved watching The Brady Bunch as a "tween" back then ... great memories of a simple and fun show with family values. Wish there were more like it these days ... sigh...
Props to the interviewer. Don't know your work but ended up here because Brady. Eve has heard nearly every question a thousand times over the years, I'm sure. Your questions were fresh and genuine and EP seemed pleased to be talking with you. Good job.
I'm glad EVE finally has put to light the truth about how much The Brady Bunch tv show Pop culture has been relatively recent and somewhat overhyped ad nausea😊
Eve is an intelligent artist. She clearly is a far deeper thinker than most present or former Hollywood celebrities. She's the REAL deal. It was just a TV show. She's not at all swept away by the Hollywood nonsense. Love listening to her speak. So well grounded..
Eve provides an interesting and accurate perspective of how the show's pop culture became magnified through syndicated re-runs during 90's and not during its actual run of the show.
During the 80’s and 90’s. Yes she really does. Everything that we reverie from the past was once just a new thing. I think Jimmy Page was asked about the crowds reaction to the first time they played Stairway to Heaven and he said that people just were waiting to hear something they knew from Led Zeppelin II.
I can only imagine being the age they were and having to live the rest of their lives as those characters every time anyone met them. Obviously, when you are a teenager and young adult, you want to be an individual and not tied to your family or anything in particular. I am sure it has been a journey to get to the point where she is today. She looks fantastic and seem very grounded, which is a testament to her knowing who she is. I am glad that she has not turned her back on that character or the show because the one thing all of them should be happy about is that there is virtually not a single person in this country who watched or knows about the Brady Bunch that doesn't smile or have positive memories. In our society today to say that it is a rare feat and almost impossible. Each child represented everyone, and Jan in particular I think was relatable to most people because she was the middle child who didn't get the attention and had to deal with the comparisons to an older sibling or someone else. He teenage angst was what most of us dealt with, male or female. They didn't really say why she was auctioning of the items. Perhaps to make some money, or perhaps at 66 she realizes that she wanted to be the one to decide how they would be dealt with before she couldn't decide that. It is a shame that they did not have the opportunity to receive residuals on this show, because they deserve to have that. The show would be nothing without them. Regardless, it would be nice if some museum like the Smithsonian would buy the stuff so everyone can have the opportunity to enjoy it.
Samantha and Darrin shared a doubled bed.. and that show started in 1964. Also the betty joe and steve shared a bed in petticoat junction before the bradys. But lovely to see Eve .
Bradymania really started in syndication where it was slated in that after-school time period (usually bracketed by Gilligan's Island and The Partridge Family).
The Brady Bunch gained its huge following in the 70's when it came on after school and there were only 3 channels to watch. It continued to be a kid favorite for decades. Then adults loved the parodies and looking back on the show affectionately. Jan was just one of the kids to me. I didn't see her in the negative light she has gotten for the last 30 years until The Brady Bunch movie came out. Eve Plumb has had to deal with the most criticism of any of the original cast. I have compassion for it. She comes across pretty no nonsense whenever the Brady Bunch comes up.
Marcia, Marcia, Marcia was used often in my house by my siblings. I was the oldest, did well in school and was involved in lots of activities. Any time I was praised by others in front of one of my siblings, they would say it. In our 50s now and they still do it LOL
I think alot of girls can relate to Jan. Her character was relatable as far as down to Earth and she was Empathetic and sensitive. I couldn't relate to Marsha Who was popular and won awards. Marsha was a high achiever, and things just seem to come easy to her.
I know Eve had riffs with Marcia along the way, but let's be honest. Eve was the best actor of the Brady six, and the most intelligent. She is the only one of the six who holds a Master's.
It's true. The Brady Bunch was irrelevant in its initial run. Due to its endurance over the decades, new generations of gossip mongers have dug up stuff since then in an attempt to make them relevant to later audiences. It s just hysteria and sensationalism. I think it all started with Barry Williams Growing up Brady Book in the 1990's. The critics pounced all over everything he wrote about and demanded explanations decades later. The Brady Bunch is by far not the only old production that's inner secrets, long dismissed by the original cast themselves, have been forced out of the annals of history by curious onlookers and brought back to life. These stars are then put into the position to comment to satisfy their curiosity, which in turn creates current day content. Just another case of making a big deal out of nothing for someone else's gain..
I’m 62 so the Brady bunch kids were my generation , it started in 68 when I was 6 yrs old and I related to being the age of Peter when actually the actor was 5 yrs older than I was. At the time they had Peter acting like a 6-8 yr old and very youngest son acting like he was 4-5 when he was 7. Almost baby talk, it was written that way to make kids feel relatable but superior to corresponding character age wise. To have overly mature kids acting older than their actual age would’ve been much more difficult to write for and if they had the audience would’ve felt talked down to or inferior and who wants to watch a show where the character was more complex than the viewer at a young age. Kids were made to feel that their opinion wasn’t an option- kids are seen and not heard. The show Family had 3 siblings that my older sister deemed neurotic,making mountains out of molehills something that can be a pitfall of intelligent kids who kids who think too much and instead of concentrating on being aware of their effect on other peoples feelings. Focus on justifying their feelings with their sensitive reaction to their criticism. Dealing with complex love hate feelings for your parents - wanting their admiration and approval more than anything yet crushed if they disappointed you or scolded you even if they were right. . Being young is hard no doubt, feeling complex often dual emotions at the same time is difficult. The Brady Bunch parents were always Firm yet extremely kind . That’s an art form that parents walk a tight rope because if they have 4 children each child reacts to the same circumstances differently. Learning to communicate and trust that whatever is said to a child by an adult comes from love and not disgust because they just don’t like you is hard to deal with for parents and the child. Brady bunch was written fairly because no one child was favored. Marcia was played by an actress who happened to be born with exquisite looks. What teenage girl could compete with Marcia’s look and Maureen had that Chris Evert sense of royal presence- stately , dignified, pleasant but missing that sense to overly please. She respected herself. Jan would betray herself to get attention because praise was harder to get because she didn’t have the looks of Marcia. One felt especially with the episode of visit by the aunt who looked exactly like Jan when she was a kid but looked goofy as an adult. Jan’s worst fears of growing up ending up looking like her this fearing life would always be harder because she didn’t look like Marcia. Eve was born with exceptional intelligence, a sense of objective balance of meaning of life, never enticed by fame, an artist who expresses herself with superior verbal abilities , through acting, painting , sculpting I believe . Her viewpoint is sorely needed in todays world of nonsense . Eve has no time for it . She doesn’t vilify or overly puff up,her ego is healthy and she doesn’t suffer fools well . That’s a trait I reluctantly admire because it may keep her from trully feeling peoples affection for her as a person. Eve wants to be admired for Eve not the character she played. Jan and Eve are two completely different people and she had that down from the very start. She could’ve played any part and that’s because she is a gifted artist, able to slip into the shoes of another person. Ego driven narcissists unfortunately creates charisma so many top loved actors have but they can’t be great actors because the substance is not inside of them to be able to set aside their own vanity to be someone else. A true artist like Eve can step outside her own self and play any character. I felt Chris Knight had that quality but not as much as Eve. The actors on this series were far more talented than the written characters and the series worked because something about them personally the public easily connected with. We have all met people we admire and think highly of but for some reason there’s something about them that would make me feel uneasy, for example I love Mary Tyler Moore but there is a reserved part of her. Nature that I’d feel I wouldn’t be able to truly connect with her. I could be dead wrong and I don’t think any less of her . She doesn’t seem to be vulnerable enough to be truly connected yet I believe she had that with her husband.
No matter how respectful an interviewer is, Eve Plumb has got to be tired of always talking about the “Marsha Marsha Marsha” line. It’s obvious she never wants to show enthusiasm when talking about it. I don’t blame her, she doesn’t want to be defined by a line that only lasted for a few seconds on a TV show years ago when she was a child.
But her acting during that line and the lead up to it was impeccable. People should remember how well she portrayed that scene. That’s why SNL parodied it, because it was so effectively played.
In the parody movies. They should have had a scene where "Bobby." like shoots a guy because Jesse James is his hero. Then "Mike" just takes his guns away and they just move on like nothing happened. 😁😁
She’s done that for years. I’ve seen numerous interviews where she has to almost force herself to talk about The Brady Bunch. She’s made it clear that she doesn’t live her life every day thinking of her character Jan Brady either.
Because it wasn't at the time! It was perceived as mediocre family tv. The reruns and 90s nostalgia for the 70s, elevated the show to its cult classic status. Eve is real about that.
She's not bitter. She's a realist, she puts things into perspective. She's honest. She loves the show as a part of her life, but she tells it like it is.
I don't blame her for wanting to convey that there's much more to who she is than Jan Brady. Who among us wants to be known for the stuff we did in our teens? She comes across to me as a bright, eloquent, multifaceted lady.
It's easy to understand any of the casts bitterness. Back then, the cast got paid for their days work and a few reruns. That's it. For a show that has made the company and Sherwood Schwartz countless hundreds of millions, which of course, they won't share a dime after the fact.
@@spazzman90 Eve is the only cast member afterwards that seemed bitter and didn’t want to participate in any Brady Bunch things. But maybe something happened to her..
Yup. Was all about Jan. Especially the later years. I was probably 6 when I started watching TBB, but damn Jan and that long hair, and even the glasses. So cute!
I can’t imagine being so mentally Ill that you feel the need to go around telling people that someone died for them. Get counseling before you drive everyone in your life away with your self-serving narcissism. It’s only a pretense and a coverup to claim that you are religious.

Loved you on the BRADY BUNCH, over the years you are just pretty as Marsha.
Eve seems so down to earth and honest. She looks great too, still very attractive. The best of the Bunch!
She looks fabulous.
❤❤❤🎉😊😊
Her paintings are fantastic.
Jan was my favorite Brady . She was the main reason I watched the show. I thought she was by far the better looking between her and Marsha.
I didn't get to watch the show until it was in syndication, as it premiered the day after I was born, but it was one of my favorite shows growing up.
Eve looks great! She's smart as a whip too.
She is so talented and smart. Agree, she looks fantastic!

Man! She looks terrific! Well lived, balanced life.

yes
Yep. And the host needed to do her homework.
Lives in New York now.

During the 80’s and 90’s. Yes she really does. Everything that we reverie from the past was once just a new thing. I think Jimmy Page was asked about the crowds reaction to the first time they played Stairway to Heaven and he said that people just were waiting to hear something they knew from Led Zeppelin II.
I loved watching The Brady Bunch!! 🥰🥰
I love this woman

Samantha and Darrin shared a doubled bed.. and that show started in 1964.
Also the betty joe and steve shared a bed in petticoat junction before the bradys.
But lovely to see Eve .
Yes!
Bradymania really started in syndication where it was slated in that after-school time period (usually bracketed by Gilligan's Island and The Partridge Family).
Jan is the Best Brady of All Time
BBOAT

She was my favorite on The Brady Bunch - Her and Florence.
I think alot of girls can relate to Jan. Her character was relatable as far as down to Earth and she was Empathetic and sensitive. I couldn't relate to Marsha Who was popular and won awards. Marsha was a high achiever, and things just seem to come easy to her.
Jan is the most interesting of all the kids.
Love Eve
Still looks great. Should have kept her long hair
I know Eve had riffs with Marcia along the way, but let's be honest. Eve was the best actor of the Brady six, and the most intelligent. She is the only one of the six who holds a Master's.
Let's see.... I recall 1989; college: People used the catch phrase "Marcia! Marcia! Marcia!" when referring to the Brady Bunch any time it came up.
Exactly, much later.
DONT WORRY ABOUT YOUR SISTERS YOU ARE NOT STUCK IN THE MIDDLE YOURE A TRUE BELIVER

Well will just send his family a condolence card. Bobby your grounded for 2 weeks. 😁
DO YOU KNOW DANNY FROM THE PARTRIDGE FAMILY HAVE YOU LOOKED AT PARTRIDGE FAMILY

She's not bitter. She's a realist, she puts things into perspective. She's honest. She loves the show as a part of her life, but she tells it like it is.
@@norijean3279 well I’ll put it this way…. She would be a nobody if it wasn’t for the Brady Bunch.

She became 🔥 in the later years.

Not popular or considered interesting lol
I think the Brady bunch wasn't that bad of a show at all I watched it on a regular
