<\/p>\nEve Plumb will always be remembered for her role as Jan Brady on The Brady Bunch, the awkward middle kid <\/p>\n
who was always living in the shadow of her elder, more popular sister Marcia (\u2018Marcia, Marcia, Marcia!\u2019). <\/p>\n
Despite numerous attempts over the course of her career to remove herself from the child role that first <\/p>\n
made her famous, audiences will always remember and adore Plumb for her classic portrayal of Jan.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
At 64 years old, the actress still looks stunning and just debuted a new style on the red carpet. See pictures of Eve Plumb now and read about her career. <\/p>\n
Brady Bunch and early career
\nPlumb started her acting career as a child, making appearances in TV commercials and programs like Lassie. <\/p>\n
She was born on April 29, 1958, in Burbank, California. Plumb claims that she had no intention of becoming a kid star.<\/p>\n
She told Closer Weekly, \u2018It simply occurred.\u2019 When I was a child, a children’s agency moved in next door to me, and I immediately began receiving commercials.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
She played Jan on The Brady Bunch, one of television’s most recognizable programs ever, from 1969 through 1974. <\/p>\n
Storylines frequently focused on Jan’s feelings of exclusion or sibling resentment because she personified the awkwardness and uncertainties of adolescence. <\/p>\n
In one notable, frequently ridiculed episode, she invents a fictitious boyfriend named \u2018George Glass.\u2019<\/p>\n
The Brady Family was a hit during its initial run and even more so in syndication. Plumb made numerous cameo appearances in sitcoms after the show ended. <\/p>\n
In the television movies Dawn: Portrait of a Teenage Runaway and its sequel, she also portrayed an adolescent prostitute. <\/p>\n
Following Brady Bunch
\nAlthough Plumb outgrew her role as a child star, many <\/p>\n
people continued to refer to her as Jan Brady, which made it difficult for her to find her position in show business.<\/p>\n
I was so successful as a kid, she said to Closer. But what happens after you stop being the cute kid as you get older? That might be really challenging if you’re not ready for it.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
She was the only Brady Bunch cast member to not appear in the infamous variety show The Brady Bunch Hour; <\/p>\n
\u2018Fake Jan\u2019 Geri Reischl took her place. However, she was also reluctant to continue playing Jan Brady. <\/p>\n
I don’t want to come out as ungrateful. In 1977, she remarked, \u2018I liked the Brady Family years. \u2018I gained a lot of knowledge, and working with the people was great. <\/p>\n
Yet, at this point, I want to move on to other things and distinguish myself from the Brady group as an independent.I didn’t want to remain recognized as Jan Brady at the age of 32.<\/p>\n
She did come back, though, to reprise her role as Jan Brady in the 1981 television movie The Brady Girls Get Married, which inspired the sitcom The Brady Brides. <\/p>\n
Clearly, I was taken aback when they asked me to reprise my role as Jan, Plumb said to The Hollywood Reporter in 1981. <\/p>\n
\u2019I argued with myself about whether or not I should. Yet because it was such a novel and modern concept, I took the plunge.\u2019<\/p>\n

Eve Plumb right now
\nPlumb has continued to perform in a variety of non-Brady projects, including plays, a guest starring role on Law & Order: <\/p>\n
SVU, and the role of Mrs. Murdoch in Grease Live. She’s been successful as a painter as well.
\nShe has, however, come to terms with the fact that Jan Brady will always be her most well-known name.<\/p>\n
To a lot of people, I’ll always be known as Jan Brady. She told Closer, \u2018oI can’t escape it, but there are other things I can do. Isn’t [Jan] dead yet?\u2019<\/p>\n
