Susan Marie Olsen (born August 14, 1961) is an American actress best known for portraying Cindy Brady, the youngest daughter in the blended family of the sitcom , which aired from 1969 to 1974. Born in , as the youngest of four children to DeLoice and Lawrence Olsen, she entered as a alongside siblings and Olsen, both performers. Olsen's early career highlight was securing the role of Cindy at age seven, contributing to the show's enduring cultural impact as a of idealized family life amid 1970s social changes. Following the original series, she reprised the character in spin-offs such as The Brady Bunch Variety Hour (1976) and various reunion specials, while also providing voice work in projects like Child of the '70s (2012). Her acting opportunities waned post-childhood, leading to pursuits in radio hosting, where she co-hosted the conservative-leaning Two Chicks Talkin' Politics on LA Talk Radio until her 2016 dismissal after a exchange involving satirical remarks on gay stereotypes in response to a critic's comments on political activism. In later years, Olsen has identified as a vocal conservative, supporting and critiquing what she describes as excessive in . She publicly asserted that nixed a proposed Brady Bunch revival around 2020–2021 due to her political stances rendering her "too dangerous" for the cast, a claim echoed in her appearances though disputed by studio sources emphasizing prior controversies over mere partisanship. Beyond media, she has engaged in and advocacy, maintaining a public profile through reflections on her Brady legacy and resistance to industry norms.

Early life

Childhood and family background

Susan Marie Olsen was born on August 14, 1961, in . She was the youngest of four children born to parents Lawrence Olsen and DeLoice Olsen. Her siblings included older brothers Larry Olsen (born 1938), Christopher Olsen (born 1946), and sister Diane; both Larry and Christopher pursued careers as child actors, with Larry appearing in films such as The Iron Sheriff (1957) and Christopher in Alfred Hitchcock's The Man Who Knew Too Much (1956). This family involvement in acting provided an early exposure to the entertainment industry for Olsen, though specific details of her pre-teen upbringing remain limited in public records.

Entry into acting

Olsen's entry into acting was influenced by her older brothers, Larry and Christopher Olsen, who had pursued careers as child performers in Hollywood. Her mother facilitated early opportunities through an agent, beginning with a fabric softener commercial and an appearance on The Pat Boone Show. In 1968, at age seven, Olsen obtained her first credited television roles, including Tracy Richards (uncredited in the episode but listed in cast credits) in the Ironside episode "Barbara Who," aired March 28, 1968; Marianne Johnson in the Gunsmoke episode "Abelia," aired November 4, 1968; and Pamela in the Julia episode "Paint Your Waggedorn," aired December 11, 1968. These guest spots marked her transition from commercials to scripted series work. Her performance on indirectly aided her casting in . During her audition at age seven, Olsen recounted an anecdote from the Gunsmoke set to creator , charming him and securing the role of Cindy Brady, the youngest of the blended family children. The pilot was filmed in 1968, with the series premiering on on September 26, 1969.

Acting career

Role on The Brady Bunch

Susan Olsen portrayed Cynthia "Cindy" Brady, the youngest child and daughter of Carol Brady (portrayed by ), in the sitcom , which aired from 1969 to 1974. Born Cynthia Marie Martin in the series narrative, Cindy was depicted as a naive yet occasionally precocious elementary school-aged girl with a pronounced , often engaging in snooping and sharing family secrets. Olsen, who was seven years old when cast following minor roles in shows like Ironside and , brought a sense of wide-eyed innocence to the character across all 117 episodes of the series. Olsen's audition for the role occurred prior to her eighth birthday, securing her position as the youngest Brady amid a selected for their wholesome, blended-family dynamic. The character's storylines typically highlighted her childlike curiosity and minor mischief, such as in episodes where she attempted to emulate her older sisters or navigate rivalries, contributing to the show's emphasis on harmonious family resolution. Olsen later reflected that the role's portrayal of Cindy as somewhat dim-witted and a frequent tattletale influenced her school experiences, leading to , though she performed the part consistently through the series' five-season run.

Post-Brady Bunch roles and challenges

Following the conclusion of The Brady Bunch in 1974, Olsen reprised her role as Cindy Brady in multiple franchise extensions, including the musical variety series The Brady Bunch Variety Hour (1976–1977), the television films The Brady Girls Get Married (September 28, 1981) and A Very Brady Christmas (December 28, 1988), and the short-lived sitcom The Brady Brides (1981). These projects capitalized on the enduring popularity of the original series but largely confined her to the same character archetype. Attempts to secure roles outside the Brady universe proved challenging due to typecasting. Olsen sought edgier parts in the 1970s, such as troubled or gritty characters, but casting directors explicitly rejected her, citing her ingrained public image as the innocent, pigtailed Cindy as incompatible with such portrayals—for instance, refusing to cast her as "drug addicts or hookers." This limitation persisted, resulting in sporadic non-Brady appearances, including voice work and minor guest spots, but no significant breakout roles. Later credits, such as Aunt Susan in the TV movie Holiday Road Trip (2013) and Susan Brady in Blending Christmas (2021), often echoed her original persona or meta-referenced her fame. The persistent contributed to professional frustration, with Olsen describing the role's saccharine nature as portraying a "stupid" character far removed from her own personality, ultimately prompting her to abandon full-time acting pursuits by the 1980s in favor of other vocations.

Other professional pursuits

Graphic design and artistic work

Olsen transitioned from to in her early twenties, establishing herself as a , fine , and . This shift was influenced by mentorship from director , who tutored her in during filming, nurturing her interest in and . In 1998, she ventured into by promoting a line of glow-in-the-dark shoes for . Her artistic output later included themed collections such as "Fluffart" and "The Art of Rescue," with proceeds from the latter directed toward initiatives.

Radio hosting and media production

Olsen co-hosted the conservative talk radio Two Chicks Talkin' Politics on LA , where she discussed political topics alongside co-host Alison Stein. The show featured her outspoken commentary, often aligning with right-leaning perspectives on issues such as and cultural debates. On December 9, 2016, LA terminated Olsen's contract following a private she sent to guest Acord-Whiting, an openly who had appeared on the ; the included anti- slurs such as "faggot" and was publicized by Acord-Whiting, prompting the to cite violation of their . Following the dismissal, Olsen transitioned to co-hosting Sunday Night Live with Frank Sheftel on KABC-AM 790 in Los Angeles, airing Sundays at 9 p.m. starting in 2019. The program was described by its hosts as irreverent and intelligent, covering entertainment, politics, and current events with a mix of interviews and opinion segments. Olsen continued in this role into at least 2019, leveraging her celebrity background to attract listeners interested in celebrity insights alongside political discourse. Olsen's radio work emphasized unfiltered personal views, reflecting her evolution from child actress to conservative commentator, though it drew scrutiny from mainstream outlets framing her style as provocative. No major production credits beyond her hosting roles have been documented, with her efforts primarily confined to on-air content creation and guest appearances.

Political views and controversies

Development of conservative perspectives

Olsen's conservative-leaning perspectives gained public visibility through her co-hosting role on the right-leaning program Two Chicks Talkin' Politics on LA Talk Radio, where she engaged in discussions on political and cultural issues emphasizing individual liberty and critique of progressive ideologies. The program, which featured conservative viewpoints, allowed her to articulate skepticism toward government intervention and media narratives, marking an evolution from her earlier, relatively apolitical post-acting career in and other pursuits. A pivotal moment occurred in 2016 when Olsen openly endorsed for president, aligning her with Republican-aligned positions despite her self-identification as "technically" libertarian. This support, coupled with pointed criticisms of and perceived hypocrisies in left-wing activism, intensified her public profile and drew backlash, including her dismissal from the radio show following a private dispute with a guest that escalated into leaked messages containing slurs. Olsen has attributed the sharpening of her views to a broader disillusionment with ideological uniformity in Hollywood and media institutions, which she contrasts with her preference for unfettered debate and empirical skepticism—evident in her later doubts about COVID-19 vaccine efficacy and opposition to certain transgender policies. While outlets like Variety have framed such positions as "hate speech," reflecting potential institutional biases toward progressive norms, Olsen frames them as defenses of causal realities like biological sex differences and risks of medical interventions without rigorous evidence. Her alignment with the WalkAway Campaign in 2024 further underscores a rejection of Democratic affiliation, citing intolerance within left-leaning circles as a catalyst for embracing more contrarian, freedom-oriented stances.

2016 radio show incident and fallout

In December 2016, Susan Olsen, co-host of the LA Talk Radio program Two Chicks Talkin' Politics, faced backlash following an exchange with guest Acord-Whiting, an openly . Acord-Whiting appeared on the show on December 7, during which discussions touched on political topics including Donald Trump's presidential campaign, which Olsen supported. After the broadcast, Acord-Whiting posted on criticizing Olsen as a "Trump fanatic" and questioning her suitability as a host based on her prior comments about issues. In response, Olsen sent Acord-Whiting private messages containing profanities and the slur "," including phrases such as "the biggest ass in the world" and threats like "I will slap the ever-loving shit out of you." Acord-Whiting then shared screenshots of these messages publicly, prompting widespread media coverage. On December 9, LA Talk Radio announced Olsen's termination, stating that her language violated their policy against "hateful speech" and was deemed unprofessional, regardless of political context. The station emphasized its commitment to free speech but drew a line at personal attacks involving slurs. Olsen's co-host, Sheena Metal, publicly supported her, arguing the firing overlooked the provocative nature of Acord-Whiting's initial post. Olsen responded by apologizing to the community for her word choice, while maintaining that her remarks stemmed from frustration over Acord-Whiting's "in-your-face" criticism rather than inherent prejudice, and attributing the firing partly to her endorsement amid broader political tensions. She denied being homophobic, citing past friendships and stating, "I have no problem with gays." The incident drew condemnation from outlets across the spectrum but also highlighted debates over online discourse boundaries in conservative-leaning media spaces.

Endorsement of Donald Trump and related backlash

Susan Olsen publicly affirmed her support for , stating that she voted for him in presidential elections and aligning with his positions on various policy matters. In an October 23, 2024, appearance on the podcast, she reiterated her endorsement of , emphasizing her disagreement with mainstream narratives on issues like integrity and overreach, while describing herself as a libertarian who occasionally registers to participate in primaries favoring Trump-aligned candidates. This endorsement provoked backlash from entertainment industry stakeholders, who perceived her pro-Trump stance as antithetical to the sector's dominant progressive ethos, resulting in heightened scrutiny of her public comments and professional viability. Olsen reported that producers and executives explicitly cited her Trump support as a liability, with one network representative informing her that her views rendered her "too dangerous" for involvement in family-oriented projects, reflecting a broader causal dynamic where ideological nonconformity leads to exclusion in an industry prone to enforcing uniformity through informal blacklisting mechanisms. Critics in media outlets, often aligned with left-leaning perspectives, framed her support not in isolation but alongside other expressions, amplifying perceptions of toxicity despite Olsen's assertion that her backing of Trump stemmed from empirical assessments of policy outcomes rather than personal animus.

Cancellation of Brady Bunch revival project

In October 2024, Susan Olsen stated that a proposed revival of in early development at was abandoned primarily due to her publicly expressed conservative political views, including support for , skepticism toward COVID-19 vaccines, and criticism of transgender activism. Olsen, who portrayed Cindy Brady in the original series, claimed during an appearance on the Fox Nation program The Right View with Eden Purely that a producer informed her she had become "too dangerous" for the project, citing her history of controversial statements as a liability in a environment she described as overly sensitive to non-progressive opinions. The revival concept envisioned Olsen reprising her role as an adult Cindy operating a libertarian podcast, but Olsen alleged that CBS executives deemed her past remarks—such as a 2016 Facebook post containing homophobic language that led to her dismissal from a Los Angeles radio station—unacceptable for modern audiences, effectively "canceling" her involvement and halting the series before it advanced beyond initial pitches. Industry sources corroborated that the project was shelved over Olsen's documented use of slurs and divisive commentary, which had previously drawn public backlash and professional repercussions, though CBS has not issued an official statement confirming the reasons for its termination. Olsen framed the decision as emblematic of broader ideological intolerance in entertainment, asserting that her opinions, while blunt, reflected empirical observations rather than malice.

Personal life

Marriages and children

Olsen's first marriage was to Steve Ventimiglia, a and kickboxer, in August 1988; the union ended in divorce after two years. Her second marriage, to Mitch Markwell, a medical equipment sales representative, began in 1995 and concluded in divorce in 2004. The marriage to Markwell produced Olsen's , a son named , born on October 22, 1997. has been described by sources close to Olsen as of her personal world, reflecting her prioritization of family amid a low-profile life post-acting career. No additional children are documented from either marriage or subsequent relationships.

Later years and health reflections

In her later years, Susan Olsen has embraced a reclusive lifestyle in a quiet suburb of , eschewing Hollywood's glare in favor of low-key pursuits. She continues to teach and production to children at Vibe Performing Arts Center in , where she imparts lessons drawn from her own career experiences. This role aligns with her expressed preference for meaningful work over celebrity, as she stated in a 2023 interview: "Fame was the one part I didn’t like," emphasizing good craftsmanship instead. Olsen's public appearances have been infrequent, with one notable instance on July 29, 2025, when she was photographed retrieving mail from a post office in while driving a white . She maintains sporadic involvement in acting, appearing in projects like the 2021 holiday film Blending Christmas, but prioritizes family, particularly supporting her adult son , born in 1997 and diagnosed with . Olsen has shared limited reflections on health matters in adulthood, with no public accounts of major illnesses or chronic conditions emerging in recent decades. physical strains, such as repeated every three weeks to maintain her character's blonde look—resulting in complete by age 10—have been recounted as formative hardships, but these predate her later years. Childhood interventions, including oral to correct a speech from an enlarged tongue, addressed developmental issues but yielded no ongoing commentary in her mature reflections. Her focus remains on personal fulfillment amid aging, viewing past fame as a "rear-view mirror" element while sustaining ties with former co-stars.

Written works

Authored books and publications

Susan Olsen co-authored Love to Love You Bradys: The Bizarre Story of The Brady Bunch Variety Hour with Ted Nichelson and Lisa Sutton, published on September 1, 2009, by ECW Press. The illustrated coffee table book examines the production challenges, cast dynamics, and creative decisions behind the short-lived 1976–1977 CBS variety series The Brady Bunch Hour, in which Olsen starred as Cindy Brady. Drawing on personal anecdotes, interviews, and archival materials, the work highlights the show's extravagant sets, guest appearances by entertainers like Tina Turner and Elton John, and its critical and commercial failure despite high production costs exceeding $1 million per episode. The portrays the series as a misguided attempt to capitalize on the sitcom's , marked by mismatched musical performances, wardrobe malfunctions, and interpersonal tensions among the adult , including issues affecting and . Olsen's contributions emphasize her perspective as a child performer navigating the chaotic environment, including scripted sketches that clashed with the original family's wholesome image.

No other or major standalone are attributed to her in verified sources.
