According to a recent report, "The Brady Bunch" stars Barry Williams and Christopher Knight have maintained a close friendship for over 55 years since the show's debut in 1969. However, the article also delves into the surprising romantic history between Williams, who played Greg Brady, and his co-star Maureen McCormick, who portrayed Marcia Brady.
In the CW docuseries "TV We Love," Williams opened up about having a crush on McCormick during the filming of the show. The article states that the on-screen chemistry between the two was undeniable, with producer Lloyd Schwartz recalling having to intervene to keep the young co-stars from getting too close. "As [the child stars] started getting older, my challenge was, in some ways, to keep them off of one another," Schwartz said.
The article also reveals that McCormick and Williams shared a kiss during a trip to Hawaii in the 1970s, where the cast was filming the first episode of Season 4. McCormick wrote about the experience in her 2008 memoir, describing the "sexual tension" between the two as they performed a duet together on the show's national tour.
Despite the romantic history, the article notes that McCormick chose not to "kiss and tell" in a recent interview, instead focusing on the enduring friendships she has maintained with her "Brady Bunch" castmates over the years.
