The Marcia and Jan feud...

Is Jan Brady still upset that her big sister, Marcia! Marcia! Marcia! was more popular and accomplished than her? Well Jan (Eve Plumb) isn't speaking to Marcia (Maureen McCormick) these days but it has nothing to do with old rivalries.

Maureen has written a new book, out last week, called "Here's the Story: Surviving Marcia Brady and Finding My True Voice." But that's not really the problem. Last spring, when word of the book was first out, Maureen seemed to hint that she and Eve had once shared a kiss while on the set of the show. Eve then had paparazzi staking out her house and seemed none too pleased.

Here is what Maurren says about the situation in the current issue of People Magazine:

"On a late night talk show, I said, 'Oh yeah, we kissed.'; It was a joke - we kissed on the cheek like two friends. Eve was so upset and apparently that's why she won't talk to me."

Eve is the Brady kid who seemed to have the most resentment over the shadow that role cast over her career. She was easily the best actress of the group and did some stellar TV work after the original show went off the air including "Dawn: Portrait of a Teenaged Runaway" and the miniseries "Little Women." She also played the mom in the Saturday morning series "Fudge."

But the Brady paydays kept being offered and she was lured back to reprise Jan in the early 1980s sitcom "The Brady Brides" (co-starring Maureen), the highly-rated 1989 reunion movie "A Very Brady Christmas" and the early 90s dramedy, "The Bradys." She did, however, wisely skip the 1976 "Brady Bunch Variety Show" series.
