Former �Brady Bunch� actress Susan Olsen directly addressed rumors that two
of her co-stars from the television show had an affair.

Olsen, who played Cindy Brady on the classic sitcom, said that the
relationship between her on-screen mom Carol Brady (Florence Henderson) and
sibling Greg Brady (Barry Williams) was not romantic.

Fans wondered about the nature of their relationship due to Williams�
notorious crush on Henderson, who was 20 years older than him. But Olsen said
the attraction was one-sided, and their TV mom was simply flattered by his
affections but never pursued anything.

�I disliked the rumors that Florence Henderson and Barry Williams had an
affair,� Olsen, 61, told Fox News Digital.

�Barry had a crush on her,� the former child star said. �She was very kind to
him. She let him take her out for her birthday. So I don�t like the
implication that�s been out there, that something was going on with them.
There wasn�t anything going on with them except for mutual respect and love.�

Henderson died in 2016 but had previously discussed the status of her
relationship with Williams during a 1991 interview with People.

�He had a crush on me, and he asked me out for a date, which I�ll never
forget,� the actress said. �He was too young to drive, so his older brother
brought him to my hotel, and then I drove us to the Ambassador Hotel in Los
Angeles, where we saw a singer. It was so sweet because Barry made sure we
had a good table.�

�After the show, his brother picked him up and took him home,� Henderson
continued. �The crush was a very serious thing for him, so I was never
condescending. I certainly liked him too, but I wasn�t exactly the Cher of
the TV mom set.�

Williams also described the situation in his memoir, �Growing Up Brady.�

�When those little things called hormones start kicking in, you get excited
by even inanimate objects,� he said, per People. �It wasn�t that I sought to
bed her. I just wanted to spend time with her. It was flattering that she
gave me any attention at all.�

Yeah but, what about Marcia's claim that she and Jan had an affair,
something that Jan vehemently denies?

I don't believe I'd heard about that one before. No wonder Jan seemed
to be the least likely cast member to participate in the Brady reunion
projects.

I had forgotten about that but never took it seriously either.

I can think of more likely reasons.
