Eve Plumb recalls her favorite memories with the cast The Brady Group.
On Wednesday, the 65-year-old actress announced that she will be auctioning several items from her “very Brady” collection through Julien’s Auctions, and she took some time to share a little insight into the history of each memento.
In the video of the auction items, Plumb, who took on the role of Jan Brady in the The Brady Group from 1969 to 1974, she opened up about a special gift she once received from her TV father, Robert Reed.

“One Christmas Robert Reed gave us all Super Eight cameras because he was taking us on a trip – first to New York City and then to QA2 to London,” she recalled as the photos she took on the trip flashed on the screen. “It was so much fun traveling with Robert and everyone in the cast.”

Elsewhere in the clip, Plumb showed off a butterfly piece she made with a needlepoint while waiting to film her take on the classic ABC sitcom. The actress revealed how her late co-stars, Florence Henderson (Carol Brady) and Ann B. Davis (Alice Nelson), introduced her and the rest of the cast to the party.
“In the 1970s, sewing became quite popular,” she explained. “You could do that all day and still be quiet while they were filming.”
