Barry Williams Recalls Producer Flagging Greg–Marcia 'Chemistry' in 1973 on CW Docuseries

The Brady Bunch actor says Lloyd Schwartz pulled him aside after a scene to remind him that Maureen McCormick’s character was his sister.

Overview

  • Williams revisits the moment on The CW’s TV We Love, describing it as a professional boundary reminder during the show’s later seasons.
  • Lloyd Schwartz cites a scene from the 1973 episode Room at the Top where Williams sat beside McCormick on a bed and their interaction read as non-platonic.
  • Williams recalls Schwartz telling him, “Good scene,” followed by a caution to remember the sibling relationship being portrayed.
  • The actors were teenagers during filming, starting at ages 14 (Williams) and 13 (McCormick) and reaching their late teens by the series’ end.
  • Williams says he and McCormick casually dated off and on, and castmate Christopher Knight has publicly noted that their on-set chemistry was noticeable.
