Sheri Cowart on The Brady Bunch and The Partridge Family


Sheri Cowart appeared in two Brady episodes as Kathy Lawrence.  In "My Sister, Benedict Arnold", she delivered the classic "F-F-F-I-L" cheer. 

She appeared a year earlier in an episode of "The Partridge Family" -- in the same outfit!  It isn't unusual for guest players to bring their own clothes to a set. The wardrobe dept would select from the choices they bring in. It also saved time because the clothes were guaranteed to fit so there would be no need for a costume fitting. There would be some small union compensation for using their own clothes.

And they turned into this:

I assume the change came when Filmation ended up with the animated Brady Kids contract. This final version is in their style. They also produced the Archies animated TV series around the time.  In fact, when you watch these episodes, it looks like they used some of the same animation cels.
