Susan Olsen, known for her role as Cindy Brady on 'The Brady Bunch,' shared harrowing experiences from filming, particularly an injury sustained on set. While getting body makeup, a heavy object fell from a catwalk, striking her in the face, resulting in visible swelling during a wedding scene. Comforted only by her co-star Florence Henderson, Olsen felt immense pain and opted to seek medical help early. Reflecting on the incident, she humorously noted that she could have potentially made more suing Paramount than her acting career.
I got injured. I almost died. On the Culver lot, they were shooting something, and something from the catwalk fell. It hit the makeup man first, then bounced off the body makeup woman, and hit me in the face.
You can tell, if you look at the ceremony and you see the three girls on one side, if you were to zoom in really tight, you can see my face is quite swollen.
In fact, I don't just want to cry, I want to sob. I'm just gonna let go and forget all my pride and just sob because this hurts.
The saddest news is that we didn't sue Paramount, because I would have made more off of that than the show.
