Susan Olsen

Susan Olsen will always be Cindy Brady to me, and I mean that with affection rather than reduction. Playing the youngest Brady child across the entire 1969 to 1974 run of The Brady Bunch made her a permanent fixture of American pop culture before she'd even grown up. What earns my respect is what came after: the Santa Monica native moved into radio and voice work, widening her craft beyond a role most people would never escape. Child stardom is a brutal thing to survive with grace, and Olsen's willingness to keep finding new forms of expression reads, to me, as quiet resilience.
