September 30, 1954 in Santa Monica, California, Barry Williams
Blenkhorn was raised in Pacific Palisades, CA. He began studying
acting at age eleven. He made several television commercials
before making his TV series debut at age twelve in Run For
Your Life.
As Greg Brady, Barry became something of a teenage idol
receiving about 6500 fan letters per week by 1971.
An accomplished actor, Williams' post-Brady credits include:
"City Of Angels," "Born Yesterday," "The Music Man", "Romance/
Romance," "Pippin", "Grease" and his much publicized run in
a non-union production of "The Sound of Music" for which he
was fined and chastized by Actor's Equity Association.
On the lighter side, Williams made over 150 episodic TV
appearances in such homespun fun as: That Girl, Full House,
Murder She Wrote, General Hospital, and Three's Company.
Not one to stay out of the public eye for long, in 2002
Williams appeared in a televised boxing match between himself
and former Partridge Family star Danny Bonaduce. Though
Williams didn't win that fight, he did donate all of his earnings
from the event to charity.
Barry also co-authored his autobiography, "Growing Up Brady,"
a best-selling account of his life. Today, he continues to
lecture and tour the college circuit and beyond, bringing
to the masses his tales of The Brady Bunch as well
as appearing in musical theater.
