Susan Olsen, the star of Brady Bunch, makes a rare public appearance and looks so unrecognizable

Susan Olsen was spotted out and about!

The Brady Bunch actor, 63, made a rare public appearance in Los Angeles on Tuesday, July 29. She was seen pulling up to a post office in a white SUV and stepping out to pick up her mail in a relaxed and comfortable manner.

She wore a black T-shirt featuring the iconic Japanese egg mascot Gudetama, burgundy shorts, dark flip-flops, and sunglasses. Her golden blonde hair was free and on show, as were her distinctive bangs, as she finished her work.

Olsen was best known for her role as Cindy Brady in the classic TV comedy The Brady Bunch, which aired from 1969 to 1974. Following the program, she appeared in TV shows and movies such as Pacific Blue and The Young and the Restless. Blending Christmas, released in 2021, is her most recent IMDb listing.

The actress has generally retired from the spotlight, leading a quiet life and making only a few appearances throughout the years.

One of her most recent performances was a Brady Bunch cast reunion with former co-stars Barry Williams, Mike Lookinland, and Christopher Knight at the Chocolate Expo on Long Island, New York, in March.

At the ceremony, Olsen spoke with PEOPLE about the cast’s friendship, which has endured 50 years after The Brady Bunch’s final episode.

“We are still cordial and get together. I believe it’s nice for us to get together, and we do,” Williams remarked. “I like some of them more than my own family…” The chemistry—which you can’t fake—is real.”

She, like family, appeared to support Knight and Williams on their The Real Brady Bros podcast, where she recounted never-before-heard anecdotes from The Brady Bunch’s set, including how she “almost died” while filming the show’s pilot, “Honeymoon.”

“I was standing on a makeup chair, and something from the catwalk, where they keep all the lights and everything, fell,” Olsen told me later. “It hit the makeup man first, bounced off the body makeup woman, and hit me in the face.”

Despite the injuries, she stated that the team chose to continue filming, and I Love Lucy makeup artist Hal King was sent in to assist in hiding Olsen’s bruises before shooting the wedding scene.

“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,” Olsen told the crowd. “I look different. You can see it in some of the early press photos.”

“The saddest news is that we didn’t sue Paramount, because I would have made more off of that than the show,” she said with a joke.
