Blind Items Revealed #5

March 27, 2015

Considering how long this show has been off the air it’s remarkable how much money this very large cast makes. They do well. Not spectacular, but considering almost all of them have done nothing since the show ended decades ago, that is pretty good. As time goes by, and opportunities start to slip, the cast likes to jump on all money making opportunities. That is fine if it is a solo thing, but more often than not, the person offering a job wants more than one of the cast. One of those is generally the star of this blind. She arguably had the most popular character on the show, but is in the top three as far as status since the show. That character though is what organizers want, so they give her a call. She loves the call and her only condition ever is that she be the only member of the cast to be there or they won’t get her. Recently she could have given a cast member a chance at a $250K payday. She told the producers that was a no go. She wanted to be the focus and they agreed. As recent as that was, there was something that happened in the past week where she managed to screw over the entire cast in one day. A big payday was in the offing. All the cast had to sign a contract and money would be flowing into their pockets. Our star though decided she wanted a better deal and is holding up the process until she gets triple what any other cast member receives. If she does not get her triple pay, then she won’t sign and no one will get paid. She loves doing that to her co-stars. She loves when they beg with her and plead with her and kiss her butt and buy her presents just to make sure she always signs. This time though, the remaining members of the cast are fighting back. It is a potentially big payday. Enough money to see them through several years and there will be a war if our star does not sign. They will throw every bit of dirt at her they can. The star doesn’t seem worried. As of a day or two ago, she was still holding out for triple. Always screwing them. One day at a time.

A streaming agreement?

It appears that Hulu doesn't have ALL episodes, as of late June.

Marsha, Marsha, MARSHA!

+1 this comment is perfect!

Considering what she looks like today, she should be happy to have some of the focus off herself and still get paid.

I honestly always liked Jan better. She was sooo much more interesting. She made up a boyfriend, was the favorite of Alice's, got glasses at the same time I did (exact same frames!!), and was stunningly gorgeous the season she was the most popular girl--way prettier than Marsha and her big nose.

Groaning said...

Hmmmm, I wonder if the big payday was for the use of her image in the Superbowl commercial.

not sure said...

I feel I should be offended by this but with no clue how it could actually be relevant?

Ophie said...

Once Jan got past puberty, she was the hot one on that show.

But, this is seriously just a bitch move on Marsha's part. Honestly, whenever I see interviews with her, she's bitter & blames the Brady Bunch for her horrible CD bombing or not getting other roles.

Dena said...

Maybe something suddenly came up?

david said...

Good for her! She was the most popular character and she should ask for more -- if she can get it.
The promoters should know/understand this and not even make this an issue if they want a group presentation. And, the other actors/show characters should know and understand, too.

H2O said...

You're absolutely right.
I've never watched the show.

Malibuborebee said...

They need her for Hulu but other than that they just need to stick to their guns with the bitter bitch. Leave her out of paid appearances a few times and she'll come around.

Not really said...

You are all so full of sh*t. Marsha brought money to the show and they asked her to go through Bobby's jobs for her to use it. When she left with her own very meager funds, they stole her project -- which they had been putting down for years -- and assigned it to a different actor. Marsha gave Jan the benefit of the doubt for years. But given what we know now about Jan -- that other actresses were writing sl*t on her dressing room door??! Sounds like she hooked up with some other network star's man after the red carpet party the week before. Just another regular week for Jan...

If the 250K is about Dani then Marsha was nothing but supportive for her to get funds.

The producer tried to keep Marsha on the show illegally by going around to all the other networks and telling them not to hire her.

Marsha genuinely liked everyone on the show and it took her several years to realize that they didn't like her. It seems that for some reason noone on the show could handle it when Marsha was successful. They could have all shared in the success but it was more important to everyone else on the show to make sure that Marsha failed.

If you want to discuss this in person just tell me when.

wut

JK said...

The actors don't own the show so they will get nothing if hulu streams it.

Mike Adamson said...

Well Marcia is entitled to her opinion I guess.

texasrose said...

Don't quite get it. She is willing to leave a lot of money on the table just to screw over her former castmates? If she is that rich why do them in the first place?

oh. no. said...

She did the Australian 'I'm a Celebrity.. Get Me Out of Here' and she really was off her rocker. The inside word is that she had to go pretty much cold-turkey on some potent pharmaceuticals.

Ellie said...

oh please, bitch needs to just shut up and realize the world doesn't revolve around her.

Ellie said...

uh ok. settle down, maureen.

aemish said...

hilarious :D :0) :p

Malibuborebee said...

I'd love to discuss it in person, dear. How about Thursday afternoon in Santa Monica?

Toonces said...

Omg a blind item about the Brady Bunch! I've seen everything Brady and read every autobiography. I can't hate on Marcia for this, who knows what these people have gone through and what the real story is. Everyone should look on YouTube for the clip where Greg was stoned durring filming.

Derek Harvey said...

Marsha, Marsha, Marsha.....

Derek Harvey said...

jan said...
