Marcia Brady traded sex for drugs and hooked up with her on-screen brother

Marica, Marcia, Marcia! It appears the wholesome girl next door was doing more than brushing her hair 100 times before bed. In her new memoir, "Here's the Story: Surviving Marcia Brady and Finding My True Voice," Maureen McCormick, now 52, admits she was a cocaine fiend who swapped sex for drugs, partied at the Playboy Mansion, dated Steve Martin and Michael Jackson and slept with her onscreen brother, Greg Brady. So much for Miss Perfect!

"As a teenager, I had no idea that few people are everything they present to the outside world," says McCormick, "yet there I was, hiding the reality of my life behind the unreal perfection of Marcia Brady.

McCormick, who has since gotten her life and career together (well, she's appeared on several reality shows--that might count) says that because of her addiction she developed a reputation for unreliability and even blew an interview with Steven Spielberg because she was high. Sounds like a good reality check!
 
The memoir is available in stores now. Would you be interested in reading about another fallen child star, or do you think McCormick is just trying to make one last buck? [Yahoo]

    I loved watching her - always will. I look forward to her book. I hope you she makes millions. I am sorry she had so much pain. She was a highlight in my childhood.

    I don't plan to read it, but I do think it would be an interesting read. I don't think that's she's just out for the money like some (*cough* Paris Hilton *cough*). She was idolized for years and is a tv icon, I think it's time she came out with her story as most people aren't aware of what she went through. It's not like other celebrities who write their bios right after their show is over, or talk about everything in the open so much so that you don't even have to read the book to know what happened. I'm glad that Maureen got her life back on track and is telling her story. Maybe I will read her book after all.

    I've got a couple good buds, and some great blow. Can we work something out, Maureen?

    she used to be a regular in a store where I worked in Hollywood. she's so kind and funny. I'd read her book, if only because I think Maureen is such a great person. :D

    Everyone has problems. That's why we are called humans. I think she was a good actress. I use to watched Brady Bunch as a kid...and i'm an adult right now today...who loves weed.
