    • Maureen was the first "Brady kid" to get pregnant in real life. Early in the pregnancy, she had signed on to do the CBS made for TV movie A Very Brady Christmas, a production which included the original Brady Bunch cast, with the exception of Susan Olsen. Maureen fondly remembers all the love and kindness shown to her by her fellow cast members when she made the special announcement on set.
    • Throughout her life, Maureen always preferred the name Christine, a name her mother had once contemplated giving her, and vowed to use it if she ever had a daughter. When Ms. McCormick gave birth to a little girl in 1989, she immediately called her Christine. After bringing the baby home from the hospital, Maureen and her husband decided their daughter didn't look like a Christine, and ultimately named her Natalie.
    • After seeing 1,200 boys and girls as possible candidates to fill the roles of the children on The Brady Bunch, creator Sherwood Schwartz and director John Rich narrowed the field down to one set with three blond girls and three brown-haired boys and one set with three brunette girls and three blond boys. Maureen McCormick was in the first group, which actually had her playing the middle daughter, Jan (a role that later went to actress Eve Plumb). When Schwartz decided to go with younger children, she was moved into a new threesome where she was the oldest and ultimately won the part of the eldest Brady daughter, Marcia.

    • Maureen McCormick: (after the October 2008 release of her tell-all book, 'Here's the Story: Surviving Marcia Brady and Finding My True Voice') I may not be the grooviest girl on campus, but I am a lot stronger than I ever thought. And now when people say they wanted to be me or date me when they were little, when they say, "Who didn't have a crush on Marcia Brady," I feel blessed.
    • Maureen McCormick: (about her iconic role on ABC's long-lived comedy series, 'The Brady Bunch') I'll always be struck by how much a part of people's lives Marcia is and always will be. 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 equanimity and acceptance.
    • Maureen McCormick: As a teenager, I had no idea that few people are everything they present to the outside world. Yet there I was, hiding the reality of my life behind the unreal perfection of Marcia Brady. ...No one suspected the fear that gnawed at me even as I lent my voice to the chorus of Bradys singing, "It's a Sunshine Day."
