I was always an Olsen. I never thought of myself as a Brady. I never actually wanted to be a Brady. I always preferred my own family to the Bradys.

In the fall of 2008 Olsen appeared on Fox Reality's Gimme My Reality Show in which celebrities compete to win their own reality show. Olsen personally cares for unweaned homeless kittens until they are old enough to adopt. She then married Mitch Markwell a medical equipment salesman in 1995.

Olsen is best known for her role as Cindy the youngest daughter of Mike and Carol Brady (played by Robert Reed and Florence Henderson) on 1970s television sitcom The Brady Bunch for the full run of the show from 1969 to 1974. Susan Marie Olsen (born August 14 1961) is a former American child television actress current animal welfare advocate radio host and a creator of pop art.
