Eve Aline Plumb (born April 29, 1958) is an American actress and painter. She is known for her portrayal of middle daughter Jan Brady in the sitcom ''The Brady Bunch''. ==Career== Plumb was a young child when her acting career began in TV commercials in 1966. The following year, she appeared on ''The Virginian'', ''The Big Valley'', and ''Lassie''. In 1968, she appeared on ''It Takes A Thief'' and ''Family Affair''; in the latter, she played a terminally ill girl on the episode "Christmas Came A Little Early". In 1969, she appeared on an episode of ''Gunsmoke''. From 1969 to 1974, Plumb appeared as middle sister Jan Brady in the ABC sitcom ''The Brady Bunch''. Her featured storylines included Jan's embarrassment over not having a boyfriend, concerns about her future appearance, being a middle child, and her insecurity over wearing glasses. Several episodes centered on Jan's jealousy of older sister Marcia, resulting in the famous "Marcia, Marcia, Marcia!" line that has arguably become the quintessential quote of the series. Plumb also supplied the voice of Jan in the ABC Saturday morning cartoon ''The Brady Kids'' from 1972 – 1973. After ''The Brady Bunch'' was cancelled in 1974, it went on to even greater success in syndicated reruns. The show has never left the television airwaves and eventually spawned numerous spinoffs, reunion specials, feature films, and parodies. Several episodes of the show featured the Brady kids singing and as a result, Plumb and the rest of the younger cast recorded several albums. Plumb would also provide a monologue for the Pat Williams Orchestra's 1974 recording of "California Love Story". The single was co-produced by Plumb's recording executive father, Neely Plumb. After ''The Brady Bunch'' ended, Plumb's first notable role was that of a teenage prostitute in the 1976 NBC television movie ''Dawn: Portrait of a Teenage Runaway.'' She also appeared in the sequel ''Alexander: The Other Side of Dawn''. Plumb starred as "Beth" in NBC productions of ''Little Women'', both a TV movie and a short-lived series. Plumb also made numerous guest-starring appearances in such shows as ''Here's Lucy'', ''The Love Boat'', ''That 70's Show'', ''Fantasy Island'', ''Wonder Woman'', ''One Day At A Time'',''The Facts of Life'', ''Murder, She Wrote'', ''The Super Mario Brothers Super Show'', ''Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman'', and ''All My Children''. She appeared in the episode "The Force of Evil" from the 1977 series ''Quinn Martin's Tales of the Unexpected'' (known in the United Kingdom as ''Twist in the Tale'').〔(Classic Television Archive: Quinn Martin's Tales of the Unexpected (1977) )〕 Plumb was the only original cast member who declined to reunite for the 1976–77 variety show ''The Brady Bunch Hour'' on ABC. Much was made of her absence, including accusations that she no longer wanted to be associated with the Bradys. Plumb has stated in interviews that she was willing to do the variety show's original special episode, but could not commit to a five-year option for additional shows. Her role would be filled by Geri Reischl, who went on to be known among ''Brady Bunch'' fans as "fake Jan". The show lasted for only nine episodes. Plumb returned to the "Jan" role for the 1981 NBC TV movie ''The Brady Girls Get Married'', which led to ''The Brady Brides'', a short-lived sitcom in which she co-starred with Maureen McCormick, who played Marcia Brady. She also appeared in the 1988 CBS television movie ''A Very Brady Christmas'' and its 1990 spinoff dramedy series, ''The Bradys''. To promote their latest incarnation, the cast appeared on an episode of ''Sally Jessy Raphael'', which is remembered for having been shot outdoors in Florida during a rainstorm. In 1993, Plumb had a brief role as Mrs. Noah in the B-Movie mockumetary ''...And God Spoke''. Two years later she was interviewed as part of a 1995 retrospective special titled ''Brady Bunch Home Movies'', produced by Susan Olsen, who played Cindy Brady. That same year, Plumb appeared on a special "child stars" installment of ''The Jenny Jones Show''. From 1995 - 1997, Plumb was a member of the cast of the Saturday morning sitcom ''Fudge'', playing the title character's mother, Mrs. Ann Hatcher. The show aired on ABC in its first season and moved to CBS for its second season. To promote the series, Plumb appeared on ''The Jon Stewart Show''. Plumb also appeared in the movie ''Fudge-A-Mania'' (1997). In 1996, she reminisced about her Brady years on ''The Rosie O'Donnell Show'' and on the ''E True Hollywood Story: The Brady Bunch''. In 1998, Plumb was the original Pam Burkhart on ''That '70s Show'' (only seen in episode 6, "The Keg").
