Oh, Marcia

First came reports that a new tell all book by Maureen McCormick, who played Marcia Brady on The Brady Bunch, would contain details of a lesbian encounter with Eve Plumb, who played Jan Brady.

Now, the publisher is shooting down those claims.

I suspect someone decided to leak such a salacious rumor in order to hype the news surrounding McCormick's book. It would get people buzzing about it to see whether there was truth to the matter or any other dirt on the relationships between the various actors and actresses.

Urban legends have surrounded various relationships on that show for as long as I can remember. Some actually apparently were true.

Barry Williams, who played oldest brother Greg Brady, revealed in his 1992 autobiography, "Growing Up Brady," that he had been romantically involved with both his TV mom Florence Henderson and with McCormick.
