The Brady Bunch Stand-ins



 In recent episodes of the podcast "The Real Brady Bros", Barry Williams mentions that the woman seen here in these photos from "Today, I am a Freshman", was his on set stand-in for all 5 seasons. 

Below is the stand-in for Florence Henderson, seen here in the episode “Kitty Karry-All is Missing”
Also, in another podcast episode on “The Fender Benders”, Barry says the bailiff here is Robert Reed’s stand-in while Florence Henderson’s is seen as one of the spectators watching the proceedings.

(A stand-in literally stands in front of the camera to set up lighting and to frame and focus the camera shots.)

  1. Cool stuff again.
    I always thought a stand in was a person to take the place of the actor if they couldnt show up,usually filming them from an angle you couldnt tell.
    Also,that one pic shows the area near the Paramount producers building,I believe,that was used in the Star Trek episode "Patterns of Force". And about 100 feet behind where Barry and Maureen were walking was stage 5,where the Bradys filmed.
