Longtime TV viewers doubtless will associate the name of this actress with her role as Marcia Brady, eldest sister on the 1969-1974 sitcom "The Brady Bunch."
This character's upbeat, peppy personality made her very popular with the teeny-bopper set during those years.
McCormick's start in show biz came as a child acting in TV commercials. From there, she got small parts on such shows as "Bewitched," "I Dream of Jeannie," and "My Three Sons."
In recent decades, around 50% of marriages end in divorce, so the Brady Bunch story of two families coming together as one was relevant to many viewers, young and old.
The part of Marcia Brady gave McCormick her share of celebrity, but after that show's close, she made appearances on "Happy Days," "Love Boat," "Fantasy Island" and a few other programs, plus playing small parts in a few less than stellar movies.
Unable to repeat her Brady Bunch success, McCormick developed a variety of unfortunate personal problems.
