Which ‘Brady Bunch’ Cast Members Are Still Alive?

The Brady Bunch was one of the most beloved television shows of the late 60s and early 70s. The sitcom told the story of two families who came together in blended harmony. Show creator Sherwood Schwartz, who also made Gilligan’s Island, came up with the idea after reading an LA Times story that reported 30% of families included children from previous marriages. And just like that, an idea was born.

But it wasn’t just the premise that made the show so successful — it was also the camaraderie of the actors. The show starred Robert Reed (Mike Brady) and Florence Henderson (Carol Brady) as the parents along with Ann B. Davis (Alice Nelson) as the housekeeper. The six kids in the Brady Bunch included Maureen McCormick (Marcia Brady), Eve Plumb (Jan Brady), Susan Olsen (Cindy Brady), Barry Williams (Greg Brady), Christopher Knight (Peter Brady), and Mike Lookinland (Bobby Brady).

Which of the cast members are still alive? Read on to find out.

All the living ‘Brady Bunch’ cast members

The Brady Bunch cast took vastly different paths in their lives. Maureen McCormick experimented with drugs and admitted in her memoir that she “spiraled downward on a path of self-destruction that cost me my career and very nearly my life.” Now she’s married with a daughter (born in 1989) and recently appeared on Dancing with the Stars. McCormick also popped up in one episode of the 2023 Fantasy Island reboot

Barry Williams has kept a low profile over the years, appearing in small roles on TV and in movies. He has two children with two different women. The Greg Brady actor most recently appeared on Dancing with the Stars season 32.

Eve Plumb, who played Jan Brady, is married and living between California and New York. Though she’s turned down Brady Bunch reunions in the past, she agreed to do the HGTV special renovating the famous home. Now an accomplished painter, Plumb still picked up minor TV and film roles.

Peter Brady actor Christopher Knight married America’s Next Top Model winner Adrianne Curry in 2006. The duo starred on the reality series My Fair Brady before breaking up in 2011. Knight got married to his fourth wife in 2016. In 2022, he appeared on The Masked Singer Season 8.

Mike Lookinland played Bobby Brady in every season, sequel and spinoff. He married Kelly Wermuth in 1987, and the couple share two children. He joined Williams and Knight as contestants on The Masked Singer.

Susan Olsen has been married twice, and though she applied for grittier Hollywood roles, directors refused to hire the sweet and innocent little Cindy Brady. In 2009, she published the book Love to Love You Bradys: The Bizarre Story of The Brady Bunch Variety Hour. She had a role in the 2021 Lifetime movie Blending Christmas alongside Williams, Knight, and Lookinland.

Finally, Robbie Rist shook things up as Cousin Oliver. After The Brady Bunch, he made an impressive career as a voice-over artist on video games and animation projects.
