TV’s Marcia Brady: My drug hell

Former The Brady Bunch favourite Maureen McCormick reveals how her lifestyle took her to rock bottom.

In a shocking new tell-all book, one time TV sweetheart Maureen McCormick has revealed how she secretly battled drugs after her The Brady Bunch fame faded, and even traded sex for cocaine as her life hit rock bottom.

In her brutally honest autobiography, Here’s The Story: Surviving Marcia Brady And Finding My True Voice, the now 52-year-old TV icon — who played perfect teen Marcia in the hit show — also reveals that she abused pills to lose weight, had two abortions at age 18, and finally checked herself into a mental institution after suffering from drug-related hallucinations.

“I had played Marcia Brady for five years. But I wasn’t her in any shape or form.

“She was perfect, I was anything but that,” the star admits in the book.
