See Maureen McCormick From "The Brady Bunch" Now - Best Life

Whether you were first introduced to Mike and Carol Brady and their blended family on ABC or decades later on Nick at Nite, it’s impossible to understate the impact that The Brady Bunch has had on TV history. In the show’s ensemble cast, more than one of the child stars turned out to be teen heartthrobs, and Maureen McCormick was among them.

McCormick played Carol’s oldest daughter, Marcia, and she became the epitome of what the teen fans of the show wanted to be. Who among us hasn’t felt jealous of Marcia’s wardrobe at least once? She was just a kid when she filmed the original Brady Bunch series, but today, McCormick is 65, and her life has changed considerably. Read on to see what she looks like now and find out what she’s up to today.

Maureen McCormick played the role of Marcia after The Brady Bunch ended. 

In her 2008 memoir, Here’s the Story: Surviving Marcia Brady and Finding My True Voice, McCormick opened up about how after The Brady Bunch, she battled bulimia when she returned to a public high school setting, and then struggled with substance abuse and addiction. In an interview with Today, she described her “rock bottom” as happening during screen tests for The Brady Brides.

“My agent had to go to the sixth floor, climb into my place, tear off my clothes and get me in the shower. He said, ‘You have to get to Paramount right now, and you have a problem.’ I couldn’t hide anymore,” she recalled. “Everyone knew—the producers knew, everyone at Paramount knew, the guys testing to play my husband knew. It was the first time I had to face that I really had a problem.”

Most recently, she’s been working on home design. 

Marcia Brady is all grown up. Now 65, McCormick has been married to actor Michael Cummings since 1985, and they have one child together, 32-year-old Natalie Cummings.

When she was younger, trying to accept the gravity of how a character she portrayed became a part of so many people’s lives was a struggle for her—in fact, at times, she said “it was awful to be her.” But in the years since The Brady Bunch, she’s come to embrace Marcia Brady.

“I’ll always be struck by how much a part of people’s lives Marcia is and always will be,” she told CBS News. “But now I’m not bothered by the connection. It took most of my life, countless mistakes and decades of pain and suffering to reach this point of acceptance.”
