Susan Olsen (Cindy Brady)

On August 14, 1961, Susan Olsen was born in Santa Monica, California. Just like other Brady Bunch stars, Olsen made her on screen debut on Gunsmoke and Ironside. She was just eight years old when she started working on the set of The Brady Bunch, where she played Carol Brady’s youngest daughter Cindy Brady, who was also the youngest of the Brady kids. She was known for the kind, little girl persona she had on the show and for always wearing two curly pigtails.

Susan Olsen went on to take a different direction after playing the youngest Brady daughter, Cindy. Olsen went into graphic design and worked for a Malibu clothing store in California. She also formed her own company called Man in Space, which made glow-in-the-dark Converse sneakers. Aside from that, she became a radio personality and had a show called Two Chicks Talkin’ Politics on LA Talk Radio, but she was fired after her homophobic rant against the gay actor Leon Acord-Whiting. She is a spokeswoman for Migraine Awareness Month.
