About this episode

Eve Plumb discusses her new book and her experiences as Jan Brady and beyond.

Here’s the story … of a lovely lady … who has written a very lovely book! Join us as we chat with Eve Plumb — the REAL Jan Brady — about the stories she shares in her delightful new book, “Happiness Included: Jan Brady and Beyond.” We’re talking about her life and many acting roles pre-Brady Bunch, what little Eve thought of the Brady Bunch (and what her favorite episodes were), and yes, how teenage Eve broke free of the “Jan Brady” mold when the show was over, not just by becoming a teenage prostitute (on SCREEN, people!) but by finally being able to discover her true self.
