Marcia Brady admits trading sex for drugs
By David K Li October 15, 2008 12:01am



TV's Marcia Brady traded sex for cocaine and wasted her young adulthood hooked on drugs, she admits in a shocking tell-all book. Maureen McCormick's perpetually upbeat Brady Bunch character was her polar opposite.

She led an off-screen life of non-stop debauchery, according to her memoir, Here's the Story: Surviving Marcia Brady and Finding My True Voice, which hits bookstores today.

"As a teenager, I had no idea that few people are everything they present to the outside world," writes McCormick, now 52.

She chronicles her romance with TV brother Barry "Greg Brady" Williams as well as her dates with Michael Jackson and Steve Martin.

"Yet there I was, hiding the reality of my life behind the unreal perfection of Marcia Brady.

"No one suspected the fear that gnawed at me even as I lent my voice to the chorus of Bradys singing It's a Sunshine Day."

McCormick says that in her post-Brady days, she spent her nights hitting wild Hollywood parties at the Playboy Mansion and at the home of Sammy Davis Jr.

She went off on cocaine binges, trading sexual favours for drugs, leading to unwanted pregnancies.

McCormick was 14 when she started her 1969-74 Brady Bunch run on America's ABC

4. The age doesn't add up
if she was 14 in 1969, then that means she was born in either late 54 or sometime in 55. That would make her 53 or 54 now not 52

5. I think they got that wrong
She was clearly younger than 14 at the beginning of the series.

Yes, I was a Brady Bunch junkie. :blush:
