This just popped on a Facebook reel. I'm 49 and have been watching Brady Bunch/Sound of Music for 40 years and never realized the connection.
Doug Simpson - the "big man on campus" who was Marcia's love interest in the famous "oh, my nose" episode also played Friederch.
Little Gretl also played Kerry Hathaway - a friend of Jan's and love interest to Peter in an episode.
Finding that out after all this time just blew my mind.
My ex-girlfriend dated Peter Brady in real life. Which means I am connected to Kerry Hathaway!!

Angela Cartwright played Brigitta in TSOM and played Penny in the original Lost In Space series.
Brigitta was my favorite!

Grew up on both of those and didn’t know the connections. Thanks for some lighthearted trivia this week.

Something light hearted for a Friday afternoon...
This just popped on a Facebook reel. I'm 49 and have been watching Brady Bunch/Sound of Music for 40 years and never realized the connection.
Doug Simpson - the "big man on campus" who was Marcia's love interest in the famous "oh, my nose" episode also played Friederch.
