A charity event was held at the Hollywood History Museum on Thursday (5/6/2010) featuring several actresses from the the golden age of Hollywood and some television legends on the 1970's and 1980's. We missed arrivals and even a few of the departures, including Stephanie Powers and Donna Mills. This, combined with some no-shows and cancelled celebrity appearances made this a small event with only about a dozen people waiting for the celebrities. We immediately found the caliber of celebrities to be substantial as Florence Henderson, television's "Carol Brady" from "The Brady Bunch" exited. Rope barriers had been set up earlier and Henderson came over and began signing. Security was adamant that she would sign "one each" but we were able to get three total from her. Henderson has a beautiful, every single letter signature and was drawing a heart underneath each autograph, as she typically does. Susan Olsen, "Cindy Brady" on "The Brady Bunch" had been
scheduled to appear at the event but did not attend. However, one of the hardest and key signatures to obtain from the living cast members of "The Brady Bunch" did attend so collectors were clamoring to obtain some autographs. Eve Plumb was "Jan Brady" on the iconic television show and is one of the most sought-after signatures from the cast as she does not make a lot of public appearances and is not on the convention circuit. Plumb is often referred to as being the "tough" one to get. She exited the building and collectors quickly became excited, asking if she would sign. Security and Plumb told everyone to remain calm, as she would sign everything anybody wanted. Now we often hear this claim in Hollywood, but few ever live up to the promise. Plumb was true to her word, moving dow
n the line of collectors, signing their items one by one. After she would sign one or two, security made their best effort to move her along in the line and asked collectors to get back in line and Eve would sign their other items. My sister and I really racked, getting Eve Plumb to sign nine Brady Bunch photographs, including a photo signed earlier by Florence Henderson. After everything was signed, collectors approached Plumb, one at a time, and she happily posed for photographs with each of us. In the parking lot afterwards, Alison
Arngrim who portrayed "Nellie" on "Little House on the Prairie" signed for us. We have met her previously at another event and both times she was friendly and talkative. She asked her
husband for some
flyers which she gave to us, promoting her upcoming book on her experiences on "Little House on the Prairie". Rip Taylor was also at the event but we did not ask him to sign. Child actress Margaret O'Brien also appeared at the event as did Hollywood golden era actress Rose Marie.
