If you&#;re a fan of The Brady Bunch, you may have heard that The Good Wife&#;s Christine Baranski was on the classic sitcom as a teen actor. According to sites like Mental Floss, Baranski was one of the attendees of Marcia&#;s slumber party and felt the affects of Peter and Greg&#;s itching powder gag.
The only problem is that it the story isn&#;t true.
Jace Lacob from The Daily Beast recently asked the veteran actress about the rumor and she set the record straight.
Where did this bizarre rumor about you appearing as a child actor on The Brady Bunch come from?
It&#;s completely false. I think that someone saw an episode of The Brady Bunch and &#; I finally did see it &#; that girl does look a lot like what I might have looked like as a little girl. Somebody may have posted it and said, &#;Hey, this is Christine Baranski.&#; But I was never a child actor. I didn&#;t start acting until I was in high school in Buffalo, N.Y. I did high school plays, some avant-garde theater workshops, and a few things professionally in Buffalo for our theater troupe. But [the Brady Bunch rumor] was a complete falsehood. Do you know how hard it is to get it off Google? I&#;ve had reporters put it in profiles of me, and I&#;ll say, &#;You can’t use Google as a source!&#; It&#;s inaccurate. The only way to change it is to make a public statement, which I&#;m doing now by saying, &#;Nope!&#; So now that becomes part of the public record.
Here&#;s the video footage that apparently started the Brady Bunch rumor.
What do you think? Had you heard this rumor? Does &#;Paula&#; look like Baranski?
