    Right before The Brady Bunch, Eve appeared in a Family Affair episode as a dying girl who wanted to live long enough to experience her last Christmas. She knocked that performance out of the park.

      ​@@patriniacopeland6891Also Robert Reed played a Teacher on Family Affair that Cissy had a crush on. He also played a Professor on The Paper Chase who may or may have not had an affair with one of his students. It seems that the young lady wasn't doing well in her subjects and why she was still at Harvard? I love Typewriters. Can you imagine how many bestsellng novels were typed on Typewriters like that.
