Longtime admirers were taken aback when topless pictures from Maureen McCormick’s past appeared online. She is well known for her role as Marcia Brady on The Brady Bunch. In her post-sitcom years, the once-wholesome TV icon made a daring move by pursuing more adult roles and photo campaigns that showed a completely different side of herself.
The pictures, which were artistically taken while McCormick was eschewing her child-star persona, depict her enjoying her freedom and femininity. Some admirers praised her bravery in moving past her Brady Bunch character, while others thought the pictures were bold—even too much for grownups.
McCormick has always been candid about the difficulties of growing up in the spotlight, and these pictures show her identity reclamation process. “Marcia, Marcia, Marcia” isn’t all she is.
The images serve as a reminder that Maureen McCormick isn’t scared to rewrite her tale, and she’s doing it her way, even though some may find this shocking.
