CHAPTER FOUR
“SOME WORDS ABOUT THE AUTHOR”

Like I said before, I’ve been very lucky. Personally and professionally, I’m very happy working on “The Brady Bunch”. Where else could I work at what I love best and get to make such good friends?

I absolutely adore Florence Henderson, Robert Reed and Ann B. Davis. I think of them all as friends. If I have a problem I want to discuss with any of them, they’re always there to help.

And as for the kids - my three “brothers” and two “sisters” - I guess you can tell we’re pretty close. Besides the show, we make records together, do concerts and personal appearances together, and see each other socially. Now if we didn’t like each other, can you imagine what that would be like?

You should see us on the set between scenes. Barry, Chris and Mike are always looking for ways to play practical jokes on Eve, Susan and me. And you wouldn’t believe the teasing that goes on between the six of us!

I guess I’ve learned a lot about boys and dating and how to be popular from my three real brothers and my three brothers on the show. When I was dating this one guy last year, Barry and Chris gave me lots of good advice.

As for my own dating life, it’s very casual. I’m not dating anyone steadily right now. I kind of enjoy playing the field. Most of the boys I date I’ve known for a long time. It’s pretty hard for me to meet new people while I’m filming. I’m usually on the set all day, and am absolutely exhausted when I get home at night. Besides, I’m really more comfortable with the kids I grew up with, ones that have know me since I was in kindergarten.
