Maureen McCormick is best known for playing Marcia on The Brady Bunch from 1969 to 1974. After the sitcom ended, McCormick, who was born on August 5, 1956, appeared in several Brady Bunch spin-offs.
She struggled in her personal life the most in the years after the conclusion of The Brady Bunch, despite her fame on the sitcom. McCormick’s credibility as an actress suffered due to her struggles with drug addictions, periods of despair, and bulimia.
“I’ve been through a lot of hard times, but I take all those experiences and learn and grow from them,” she told People in 2016.
“I received treatment in a psych ward, entered and exited rehab, and prayed to God for guidance.”
As the former child actress battled an addiction to cocaine and was struggling to come to terms that the acting career she had dreamed of was not turning out as she had hoped, she encountered a man at a concert she knew would become her husband.
