Susan Olsen, known for her role as Cindy Brady in 'The Brady Bunch,' shared her experiences on a panel, revealing the sacrifices she made for the role. From the age of seven, she had to dye her hair blonde every three weeks, which ultimately caused her hair to fall out. Olsen also had to use rollers to achieve Cindy's iconic curls. Reflecting on the show, she emphasized that the love among the cast was genuine, stemming from their respect for the showâs parents, played by Robert Reed and Florence Henderson.
You bet. Every three weeks they had to dye my hair. If you look at the third season, my hair is kind of a different shade of blonde every episode.
They were trying out different things, but then my hair had started to fall out. With that, I went back to letting my mom do my hair, every Friday night.
In 1970, trying different things meant a whole cocktail of weird chemicals, right? I remember the little bottle and it said 'jet black.'
The love was genuine between all the co-stars... we didn't want to disappoint them.
