“The Brady Bunch” star Susan Olsen insisted during a recent interview that an old rumor of an affair between her TV brother and TV mother was never anything more than a hunch.
“I disliked the rumors that Florence Henderson and Barry Williams had an affair,” Olsen said during an event at the Hollywood Museum.“She was very kind to him,” she added. “She let him take her out for her birthday. So I don’t like the implication that’s been out there, that something was going on with them. There wasn’t anything going on with them except for mutual respect and love.
“He was too young to drive, so his older brother brought him to my hotel, and then I drove us to the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles, where we saw a singer,” Henderson told People. “It was so sweet because Barry made sure we had a good table. According to the Huffington Post, Williams also reminisced about their night together — which ended with Henderson giving him a kiss on the cheek — and clarified the extent of his feelings for his castmate in his 1992 memoir, “Growing Up Brady.”“When those little things called hormones start kicking in, you get excited by even inanimate objects. It wasn’t that I sought to bed her. I just wanted to spend time with her,” Williams wrote.
While speaking with Fox News, Olsen shut down another long-standing rumor. The former child actor explained that at least one media outlet erroneously reported her death decades ago after confusing her with another little girl named Susan Olsen who died in a schoolbus accident.“There were always rumors that I was dead. … It made me feel like Paul McCartney because it was at the same time that there were rumors that Paul McCartney was dead.
