A fun fact about her early life
At the age of 11, Plumb purchased a Malibu beach house for $55,350. The 1950s blue cottage sat at the south end of the exclusive Escondido Beach. After nearly half a century of ownership, Plumb sold the flat-roofed bungalow in June 2016 for $3.9 million — a little over 10 times its original value, adjusting for inflation.
Acting career
Eve started acting almost by chance when she was a child. A children’s agent moved next door and got her a commercial which later turned into more small parts on series like The Virginian, The Big Valley, and Lassie. The child actor began getting parts on series television in 1967.
Her place in TV history was cemented when she landed the role of Jan Brady, the middle of three daughters in a mixed family that also featured three sons, in the TV sitcom The Brady Bunch.
She has played the same character (Jan Brady) in five different series: The Brady Bunch, The ABC Saturday Superstar Movie, The Brady Kids, The Brady Brides, and The Bradys.
Though she has worked steadily in TV since a child, her only other major role was as a teenage prostitute in Dawn: Portrait of a Teenage Runaway (1976).

Eve Plumb painter - Her career in art
Eve continued acting after The Brady Bunch wrapped up its fifth and final season in 1974, and along the way, she discovered a hidden passion for painting. She told
“I started painting because I needed something to do in between jobs...I just kept at it and asking other artists until I liked it well enough to put it up on the wall.”
In between 1998 and 2003, Plumb stayed away from the spotlight for a while, opting instead to pursue a second of her passions: painting.
Eve Plumb paintings, which are focused on “spontaneous still lifes”, have been sold in galleries in Cape Cod, Connecticut, Tennessee, Arizona, and “one of the Carolinas.”

“I think adopting is a great idea, especially because there are a lot of older children that need to be adopted...Everybody wants a baby, but there are a lot of older children that need to be adopted, especially out of the foster system.”
