I'm Bob and I'm Jan Carl. It's a little overgrown now there's a fence in front. and back then it seems much bigger, but this was 42 22 Clinton Way, the house where the Brady family grew up right before our eyes, now behind these walls there were stories that the public never knew there was marijuana, that it was drunk in The set, sexual encounters and secrets that one of the stars would take to the grave is a familiar theme for millions of viewers. The original script is titled The Brady Brood, but the show that became known as The Brady Bunch took four years to sell despite that it was never made made it entered the top ten during its five years it has earned a place in television history thanks to the chemistry between its lead actors it is something unconscious that we have I know that I always care a lot about Bob and it has become in just an unconscious thing about being together for so many years, however, behind the scenes, the impeccably clean image was spoiled, there were rumors of romance between the children.

Everyone's favorite dad, Robert Reed, was known for storming off the set and for years kept his homosexuality a secret from his close friend and actress. and Haney being gay was not only not accepted, but he was embarrassing, so he didn't like that part of himself. I loved Robert very much, I had great compassion for him because of his alternative lifestyle that I certainly couldn't talk about, but that time The Shakespearean actor seen here in home movies taken when Reid took the Brady children to London on Vacation wasn't series creator Mike Brady's first choice for the role, Sherwood Schwartz.

I wanted Gene Hackman to be Mr. Brady ABC said we need a name and the name at the time was Robert Reid Florence Henderson was not first in line for the role of Carol Brady nor was Joyce bulla font better known as Murray's wife on The Mary Tyler Moore Show he originally had the role but his comedic style was deemed unsuitable for the role and Henderson took his place, however, before Reid and Henderson signed on, Schwartz auditioned over 400 hopefuls for the roles of the six brothers, ended up choosing two groups of children, blonde boys, dark girls, dark boys and blonde girls and it wasn't until Florence Henderson and Robert Reid were settled that the final decisions were made.

I'm pretty sure Jodie Foster was probably up for the role of Cindy since we were always up for the same roles and in this part of the family. matter, he is no longer with us according to Schwartz Olsen made the cut in the first meeting of him. He was delighted with the girl with the adorable Lisp, she was so cute, but she came in and told me that she was in Gunsmoke and that she was on a horse. and was spooked by a rattlesnake with the family intact there was one more spot to fill as a comedian and B Davis became Alice the housekeeper, although not without some coaxing from the show's producer, Paramount Pictures, we investigated and discovered that she was doing stand-up. act in Seattle paramount said she's not available I said everyone is available what's the problem well she has two more weeks for her engagement in Seattle how much does that cost they told me and I'm just spending the money Mike says now look guys let's all have a good breakfast today I know you're probably excited we have to have a lot of nutritious energy that's important premiered on September 26, 1969 The Brady Bunch opened with a wedding that set up the happy but busy life of a couple with a full house but for The ending was a house divided.

Robert Reed was notably absent from the series finale as a result of one of his infamous disagreements with Sherwood Schwartz. He refused to do the script as written and was then quickly fired from the episode to which Schwartz says he returned. the set the night of the recording and I wasn't leaving I called Pamela I told her the problem and they said well, no problem they said we will bring two security officers and they will take him off the set I told her about my dead body I'm not going to see that the children watch your father being dragged off the set.

That's not in my set. They don't make it so that being Brady wasn't always a good thing for the cast. They had become famous on the show, but after the series was cancelled, most of the stars found themselves typecast or unemployed. It was like the rug was pulled out from under you. If you have ever acted, then if you no longer act, then you are a failure. It was frustrating because There's a very strong Brady type, being part of a squeaky-clean TV family has proven to be a professional burden for its young stars, most have left show business, those who remain have never reached the heights they knew as child entertainers, it's so I'm surprised I was part of Marcia Brady.

Maureen McCormick was idolized and envied by legions of girls for boys. She was the girl next door. The dream came true after disappearing from the spotlight. The 43-year-old has recently been trying to make a comeback. She starred in the short-lived 1997 series Teen Angel and has pursued a career in country music. Maureen is married and has a ten-year-old daughter. Her television sister, Jan, has turned 42 years old. Eve Plum has stopped acting and holds the distinction of being the first Brady child to marry and divorce I thought you were going to be a telegram little Cindy Brady has grown up, in fact, at home she is known as mom, the 38-year-old woman She has a three-year-old son, Michael, who has no regrets about her days as Brady and is bothered by the idea that she is somehow a failure for not being able to duplicate the children's television success.

There are many people who leave acting by choice. I left acting by choice and that was also the decision made by B Davis, Brady's faithful housekeeper, Alice left Hollywood behind, never married and lives with a Christian minister and his wife in Texas. His father, Robert Reed, continued acting until he died in 1992 from colon cancer complicated by his HIV-positive status. Brady's career continues to thrive today Laurence Henderson is host of NBC's new morning show later today people always recognize me as Carol Brady and I've gotten used to that. I accepted, I appreciate it. Bobby Brady has disappeared from the public eye, but Mike.

Lookinland still maintains ties to the entertainment industry. The married father of two lives in Utah and works behind the scenes on several local film and television productions. Peter Brady is still recognized by fans, although Christopher Knight, 42, left the spotlight a long time ago. The specialist says that he is happy with his life and his decision to leave acting. I had to give myself the freedom to say that I don't like it when the rest of the world thinks it's the best thing all the kids in the world can do. Barry Williams maintains the firmest grip on the entertainment world with his 1992 book Growing Up Brady I Was a Teenager Gregg spent more than three months on the New York Times bestseller list Barry has devoted his energies to musical theater and recently released this CD, our show for everyone.

He is and all of his successes generally generate great respect. Barry's book was recently made into an NBC television movie upon release, the three Brady children were reunited, and Olson met child actors Carly Schroeder, who played her in the film We Really Are Family. The reason I'm here is because we're all like the brothers and sisters appearing in tonight's entertainment behind the Bradys, the dark side of Mr. Brady why he hated his role as TV's favorite dad, it could be a real headache the real story behind why he kept his homosexuality a secret why he didn't want any of Brady's children around when he died and his daughter two year old son marriage who didn't know he was gay she had no real concept of HIV or anything about that real life Greg Brady date with his TV mom I hope all the fantasies I've had about it came true Barry Williams Florence Henderson their kiss and what really happened when the two were alone is really Cindy Brady.

We get the real story behind her X-rated credit of her appearing behind the Bradys on Entertainment Tonight. Welcome back to Entertainment Tonight. We had the rumors behind the headlines behind the Bradys. It's stage five at Paramount Studios in Hollywood, where they filmed the interiors and most of the Brady Bunch scenes, the bedrooms, the kitchen, those famous stairs, they've all been destroyed now, but the memories live on for the stars, including one of the guys who wasn't always a model son, you actually had to come to a scene after smoking weed. Barry Williams is now 45, but at 17 he was on the team sitting at home and curious about drugs.

The story is that I was supposed to have a day off and I was experimenting and I got really high and they called me to work and there wasn't much I could do to fix an entire house built on one level and it took up the entire soundstage. Barry took me back to the exact spot of his youthful mistake Stage five this was our driveway the scene calls me I'm fixing my bike one more time and a mom dad arrives and I'm supposed to walk up to him, well I tripped over the bike but I pretended I didn't trip over the bike.

Barry reviewed the scene of him and calls it stupid. Now here it is. Does Greg look high to you? I'm starting to create with line readings and want to rewrite the scene and much more. he doesn't seem very seaworthy, oh, in fact, he doesn't even seem very worthy of endorsement. I remember him acting very strange that day. I remember it very well, but I thought, well, it's just Barry, he's a teenager, it's weird. I had no idea that I gave him the most confident, conservative performance I could muster and got out of there and that didn't repeat the performance.

Barry Williams says his entire Brady high left him feeling self-conscious and quoted as fake as grass. in Brady's backyard, up next on Entertainment Tonight, behind Brady's arrest, Bobby Brady on the story behind the mugshot, plus, cast discuss contractual demands for more money, but he cut the show, everyone should have asked for more money and everyone should have received more money. the body of the Brady children that brother and sister were playing with during this family trip to London that will be next on Entertainment Tonight behind the Bradys at Entertainment Tonight we hide the rumors behind the headlines behind the Bradys here at the house of The Bradys may have seemed like an all-American family, but in real life the Bradys had a dark side, demands for more money on set, a drunk driving arrest, and rumors that one of the Brady girls appeared in an X-rated movie.

I participated in a porn movie called love probe from a warm planet what little Cindy Susan Olsen worked in an adult movie Susan Olsen porn right now this is the first time I'm hearing about this what did you think so you don't get the wrong impression? Susan Olsen worked on an from a tape that circulated during the Gulf War called crocodile blondie and supposedly the girl looks like me and I know I've seen pictures of the girl. I am very, very flattered, so Susan finally sets the record straight and no, I am not and have never been a porn queen.

Little Bobby Mike Lookinland has had some post-Brady problems. He was arrested for drunk driving two years ago in Utah. I saw him not long after that incident and he said it was really a blessing in disguise because he made him watch abehavior that, you know, was very self-destructive and totally changed his life and God, you understand, oh, yeah, yeah, he's a great guy and I think that scared him a lot and he's actually run into Michael several times throughout of the years on the Utah set. cronniss land where she worked as a camera assistant she's fine she's fine now she has two kids she's a lovely wife and I was the only time I heard she had a problem actually there were some problems with the Brady kids when they starred on The Show eg Susan , it upset my mom so much that, you know, she always felt mentally guilty about the fact that I was working and particularly because my father was guilty and didn't want me on the show.

Then, at one point, the parents' attorneys started talking to Bonnie. for the Brady kids and they said, look, let's be real, first of all, the Brady Bunch is a huge success, second of all, the reason it's a huge success is those six kids, they're very underpaid. I think everyone probably should have asked for more money and everyone should. have more money Barry says his salary came to a modest $1,100 a week—his big payday didn't come until later. I like to point out the fact that when we had a very Brady Christmas they paid me more money than I made in five years. making the original show combined Gregg Brady's relationship with his TV mother was more than maternal in his book Barry Williams broke the news to the world that during production he took Florence Henderson on a date now the two talked to us about what it really happened.

Hollywood Night had a crush on Florence Henderson almost the entire time we filmed the show. He was such a cute little boy, with no big green eyes and his feet hadn't grown yet, his feet were huge and his hands were huge and four huge. I don't. completely naive even at that time, I mean, I recognized that she was at that time a little more than twice my age, that she was already married and had four children, but that was not my problem, certain obstacle, what did you expect? It happened on this date with your TV mom.

I hoped all the fantasies I've had about it would come true. I mean, I was going to put all my moves into it. She was 16 years old. I was alone one very sweet and innocent night. Give me a boat on a moonlit night now the big date may have been more than 25 years ago, but it was clearly a night to remember that began when Berry picked up Florence at the hotel where she stayed during the filming of the series, her husband and their children were at home in New York, their destination. It was the showroom at the Ambassador Hotel in Coconut Grove, it's now abandoned but frequently used by film crews and she came to the door and looked completely different than she did on the set she was on now. , was in Florence Henderson makeup instead of Carol Brady. which was even more appealing, his brother had to drive him, he wasn't old enough to drive without a licensed driver and he went into the hotel, then I took us to the Ambassador Hotel in Coconut Grove and when we got in, he didn't.

I know you were supposed to tip the maitre'd to get a good table so we were somewhere secluded he said why are we sitting here and I said well you have to get the maitre'd some money so he comes back and it gives them to make some money and move us to a better table. I think she, to her credit, was not condescending to me, she did let me participate in this evening. I was like a teacher to him, no. like the one who's in the news all the time he's in prison I didn't have those kinds of tendencies thank God now there's a disagreement between Berry and Florence it's that good night kiss, he kissed me on the cheek and you know it's just One very sweet innocent afternoon I gave him a hug and I kissed him in my mind this was on the lips what in my mind was a romantic kiss you were supposed to be there at 11:30 I'm sorry I woke you up Bobby one thing is for I'm sure they never dated again because everyone on set found out, they were just the dreams of a guy whose hormones were starting to kick in and Barnes knew his ass was up.

I did it, a team was starting to make fun of me and then me. I noticed that every time Florence Henderson came up to me, I would just adopt really awkward positions and laugh and be silly, and you know, I'm being stupid as a teenager, so they had guessed it and that's why I was embarrassed. Frankly, and as a result, I turned my emotions into a more normal channel, behind the Bradys on Entertainment Tonight, making out in the doghouse, making out with Marcia, the stars' stories of how the hormones were raging inside the house. the Bradys, he was there kissing and and and and fondling, yes, Robert read the gay life he tried to keep a secret and the daughter who didn't know about his homosexuality when he guest-starred on the show you're going to have to deal with, she's a grown woman the one your father wishes on the gay Robert. reads a close friend describing his final lonely days ahead on Entertainment Tonight Behind the Bradys, our in-depth look at the real-life stories of the Brady Bunch.

I'm Bob and I'm Jan Carl. I put six children together in one house. them on a stage for 12 hours a day mix some raging hormones and what do you get well a recipe for tissue between the brady brothers and sisters on screen were six siblings so healthy if the day is long but despite their family ties when the director yells cut this six pack of pubescent players really got into action Susan Olsen and Michael look and land for a while paired up, they were the first to do that, it's hard to believe, but Brady's youngest, Susan Olsen and Mike.

Lookinland were the first to consummate their union, well, we went into the tiger's doghouse, you know we're alone and you know it was a game we were playing, that we were in love and that we got married, that we had a fake ceremony, the sisters older Jan and Marcia only added fuel to the fire, even Maureen liked to put me in the dressing room with him, close the door and say go ahead and we didn't know what to do. You know, nowadays, I guess, when. Seven-year-olds say they're kissing, they're really kissing, but back then we didn't really know what we were doing, so there's a lot of closed-mouth kissing, hugging, and saying I love you, but even being the most youths.

A pair of TV siblings were getting to know each other in a completely different way, their older counterparts were also busy with what was going on here, and Christopher Knight gave in to his teenage desires one night as the cast sailed to England aboard the qe2 to say that It was a pleasure cruise would be an understatement, then there's a knock on the door and it's like, come into my room and this was all set up for Chris, you know, so I remember she kissed and licked my earlobe. and I liked it and I was 14 years old.

I still don't know what to do with it, but it was like one of those bookmarks. Hmm, this is interesting. Chris admits that his Aunt Peters' cutter hurt him, which leads us to Marsha and Greg wanting to scare the fish to death. It's fair. to say that any teenage actor who went on a date with his TV mother would definitely do a play for his TV sister and Barry Williams would be the first to tell you that he did, yes there was intimacy, yes, there was kissing and and and and fondling yes , did it ever become the full-blown Fourth of July spectacular I had secretly hoped for since the first day I saw it? no and Barry says there was no shortage of people on set whose number one job was to make sure things didn't go too far, we had directors and producers, we had crew, we had our parents, we had our school teachers and we had all these powers that, You know, they disappear for five, ten, 20 minutes on set.

They're pretty, yes, they knock on the door, but let sensible brother Peter Brady put all the energetic handkerchief into perspective. These kinds of things can only be looked at with affection. It's just that they're just kids. Bobby Brady was the youngest Brady when. the show started he was 8 when it ended he was 13 now that the Brady Bunch was established one thing became more and more certain for the producers of the show his TV father was a problem Robert Reed argued with them and was picky about the most mundane things and the rest would end up in the middle for millions of fans, he will always be known as Mike Brady, the perfect comedy surrogate father, but Robert Reed never wanted to be remembered by the Brady Bunch and secretly despised the role, he was a great actor.

He was a wonderful human being, he was a very private man and could be a real pain in the ass. a classically trained actor. Reid had studied at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts. He considered the sitcom beneath him and didn't want to film. the Brady Bunch pilot but did it to fulfill a contract with Paramount the studio behind the show when a star doesn't want to do something Gilda has problems pure wood Schwartz says Reid was a problem from the beginning the actor insisted that Even the plot lines more comical should be logical. He often refused to act if he didn't get his way.

Bob Reed used to read the script with the script in one hand and the Encyclopedia Britannica in the other, and if there was a difference, he walked off the set. Sherwood says he tried to keep those discussions from Reed's young co-stars, but that was nearly impossible. . How bad did it get? They both really came to the approach to our program from different corners. In his decision not to laugh at anything they did in an infamous incident, Robert stormed off the set because he was asked to say that Brady's kitchen smelled like strawberries. He insisted that the strawberries had no smell when they were cooked, so I said, well, Bob, can you tell us?

Hey, this looks like strawberry heaven and he was like, “Oh, I could do that right.” That little interlude cost a lot, maybe fifty thousand dollars. Yes, Bob always told him, we're not going to do Shakespeare here, this is a situation comedy, this show is light, it's something to do. people laugh read the conflicts with Schwartz continued over the years it is rumored that he even showed up drunk on set to protest scripts with the Bradys I disagree that five used to enjoy his cocktails I never knew he had any problem and he never, ever came to set, as far as I know, wasted a couple of times had a long lunch, let's put it that way, did you ever see him drunk on set?

I'm sure there were some isolated incidents with Robert that affected filming and yes, I think he was being rebellious and it was that rebellious nature that kept Robert out of the comedy show's final episode. Gregg's hair turns orange after using a hair tonic. Reid said it was impossible and demanded that he change the script and that's all I am. I won't do the show unless you change that element in the show, but I don't think he did it out of pettiness or a sense of superiority. I just think he cared and that was his way of expressing it, Robert Reid once said in an interview. quote I should have tried to exit the show instead of inflicting my views on the cast appearing in tonight's entertainment behind the Bradys.

Robert reads the homosexuality and why he had to keep it a secret that could have caused the end of our show, the rumors. On the Brady set, how Mrs. Brady found out he was gay and what the kids felt about her TV dad's lifestyle. I found out that Bob was gay when I was 9 years old. Robert then read the last few days about his battle with HIV and the cancer that killed him. He called me and said he wasn't feeling well, next up behind the Bradys on Entertainment Tonight. Welcome back to Entertainment Tonight. We had the rumors behind the headlines behind the Bradys.

Robert Reid lived about 20 minutes from this Brady home in the city of Pasadena, California. Now this is a place better known for its conservative politics and its images of America because of the Rose Parade, but Robert didn't fit that mold. The television family man had a hidden side, his homosexuality. Our Mark Steines has the story. Everyone on our set knew Bob was gay. would have caused the end of our show if something like this came to light in the years before Brady Tribe Robert Reed was tormented by his sexual orientation torn between his conservative Midwestern upbringing and his homosexuality, he chose to play the role of loving husband and Father married in the 1950s and had a daughter, but the relationship ended in divorce in 1959 and Robert began having relationships with men.

I'm here at meetups, a local gay hangout that Robert used to frequent back then, it was called incognito and while Robert was trying. Keeping his homosexuality a secret from Hollywood proved increasingly difficult, especially when he began working on Brady's set. He was the father of America. Can you imagine the turmoil he must have been in during the conflict and suffered greatly? Florence Henderson says she was the first. I felt Robert was gay during the filming of the show's pilot episode when he got nervous before filming.a romantic scene, I suddenly realized and said: I know what's happening.

I said Bob is gay and worried about his appearance. That was my personal feeling about it, although it was never discussed publicly, even the Brady children began to suspect the truth about their TV father, certainly in the later years of our show. I was aware that he was gay. I found out that Bob was gay when I was 9 years old. the way mom told it to me was: you know he loves men more than women. He really he didn't know what sex was, so he didn't know. He certainly couldn't imagine how two men would have sex together.

Those who knew Robert was gay respected his desire. to keep it a secret when he came to homosexuality, the 70s were still a conservative time in Hollywood and Robert feared that the truth could damage his career. It was a great rationalization. I could say it's for the program. I will never be able to come out because of the show. I don't think I've ever had to face that problem. Actress Anne Haney, a long-time friend of Robert's, says that even after the series went off the air, he still protected his healthy image. We've been there a little heavenly.

Bob certainly had, yes, we slept together. Five years ago, it was in the years following the series that Ann and Robert became close friends, often taking trips together but knowing better than to question Robert about his romantic life. I realized very quickly that it was not a topic we were going to discuss. He would argue and I would go have a drink with Bob and I would go back to my room. Bob was leaving and I have no idea where he went and he never talked to each other about what happened from when I left him until I saw him.

The next day, when the Bradys reunited for a series of television specials in the '80s and early '90s, Reid continued to live a double life until his world collapsed around him. No one knows how he got it or who gave it to him except Robert Reid. contracted the HIV virus and, although he was unable to keep his sexual orientation private, he managed to keep his deadly disease out of the headlines until one tragic day, around Thanksgiving 1991, Robert reads that the doctor gave him a fatal death.The diagnosis of a tumor had been detected and combined with his HIV positive status, the man millions loved as Mr.

Brady was to die in entertainment tonight behind the Bradys Robert read the dark and lonely days at the end of his life he was a brilliant man and a loner there is a big hole in Bob's heart why he didn't have a will the secret name he used to get his HIV medication the daughter who didn't know about his deadly illness and the day that mr. Brady knew he was going to die, Florence said, I really thought he was going to get through this, but he said no and asked me to call all the kids who are next on Entertainment Tonight behind the Bradys, but in his final days, Robert Reid.

Roberts avoided Brady's cast and most of his friends toward the end and only took a few to his hospital room: one was his daughter Karen, from a two-year marriage, the other was a woman who had had. he met later in life and suddenly found himself looking like mr. Brady died slowly, he called me and told me that he wasn't feeling well and that he had been diagnosed with cancer and not to worry. Robert Reid was fighting two battles at the end of his life, he was suffering from colon cancer and also facing the deadly AIDS virus, if Bob cuts himself, do not kiss his wound as his life was coming to an end, he insisted on only telephone contact with her television family, only allowing her close friend and Haney to remain by her side, she called for her daughter Karen to join her when it seemed the actor had just a few days left to live.

His own broken family was the opposite of a warm home life. the one she lived in The Brady Tribe Karen was three months old when the divorce happened she was adopted by her My mother's second husband and Bob allowed that to happen. I always regretted that during his Brady years, Reed attempted to play Karen's father, who actually made a guest appearance in a slumber party episode. Karen came to set for an episode. I never saw Karen too often. exactly like Bob exactly I often felt like there was a big hole in Bob's heart, you know, the very fact that his daughter lived in another state, he didn't get to see her much and I don't know why maybe the mother had put her in against Bob and I think a lot of the love he gave us six kids on the show was really the love he had for her.

One of the problems that created her distress, I think, was the fact that she didn't have the closest relationship with her. with her as he would have liked at least on earth that I was near him shortly after Karen had done a sleepover episode. Bob was planning for her to stay the summer with him, she had set up a room beautifully for him and then something happened, I don't know what, but she didn't go out that summer and she knew that Bob was very sad reading TV. The family never knew what had gone wrong in Robert's relationship with Karen, but Haney says she managed a reconciliation over the years.

Later, after Karen married and had a bay, they separated; for a long period of time and once he had a grandson, she had a son and I kept saying Bob, come on, you know what you need, this is your grandson, so they finally had they started getting back together a little bit and then he got sick Haney broke the news to Karen that her father was gay and that the AIDS virus was complicating her cancer treatment. She had no real concept of HIV or anything like that, so it was a very tense situation because they sell, after all, she is her father.

Now you will have to deal as a grown woman with the fact that your father was fine. Reed hid his HIV status from the world and even had Haney pick up her AZT medication. for the virus under his first name of coronas so that no one would find out that he didn't want anyone to know that he had an enemy, you can't say you know Robert Reeds, I mean, if that goes to a pharmacy, it's going to go everywhere. According to the newspaper, the chemotherapy had caused Reid to lose his hair and Haney says it took a toll on his immune system, but his spirit stayed strong, he became very weak, of course, we had to make him the wig, but he wasn't about to give up.

I gave up and realized. The way he spoke, it was much more difficult than he was letting anyone know. Reid managed his intense pain alone at his Pasadena home and a visit to his doctor confirmed the worst. Dr. Green came in and said it's not good and Bob said, What if I have six months to a year and Dr. Greene said that for perhaps three months his condition had worsened until Haney had to take him to Huntington Memorial Hospital in Pasadena. I knew it when he took it there. He said that if he went to the hospital he would never leave while he was in the hospital.

Haney encouraged Reid to write. a will, but he never did, he wasn't hugely realistic about that part shortly before he died, he called me and asked me, he said, Florence, I really thought I was going to get over this, but she said no and he asked me to do it. . I called all the children. I spoke to him two days before he passed away and told him I loved him. I never told Bob how much he meant to me, so I wrote him a letter saying that he held a very special place in my growing up.

Robert Reed died alone on May 12, 1992. His death certificate lists the official cause as colon cancer aggravated by the AIDS virus. The Brady Family later gathered to say goodbye to their TV father at a funeral. service Barry Williams arranged for his remains to be buried in Skokie Illinois alongside members of his family his tombstone is adorned with theatrical masks of comedy and tragedy bearing the inscription good night sweet prince, he was a very proud man, a very private man and he actually died with a lot of courage and dignity in the year before his death Robert taught Shakespeare acting classes at UCLA he told his friends that's what he would do for the rest of his life he like Nick at Nite repeats The Brady Bunch almost daily yes, there is still So much fascination with this show, like the topic of next weekend's Entertainment Tonight, real women designers, take care, you always hear rumors, then I heard rumors about whether the network was going to fire me if I didn't lose weight, so I start, you know, panicking, you understand.

Weird stuff like I'm chasing 80 cans around the stage trying to get him a Snickers bar or something and you know he's locking himself in a room. I would get so depressed and think I should quit. the business if I'm just this fat cow and Annie, you know? I would say that doesn't make you less sweet or less fun or less beautiful, I just started to shut down and I wasn't this fascinating person that I see before you today. I just, you know, I just shut down and I want to disappear and not draw attention to myself.

Please don't notice the fat girl in the corner. This is my first film, so I've been around for about four years. -old and there are the effects of table reading in the design of women, I had seven years in that history thing, I call it history and I miss my colleagues on that program all the time, it was still well written and we were so good. Entertainment Tonight always there. Who are Kennedy's singles plus MTB booth?
