The remembrance came when six actors — who were just children when the popular series premiered in 1969 — came together with the mission to renovate the interiors of the Los Angeles home that was used to represent the Brady home on television.

[Florence Henderson] had unexpectedly died of heart failure after she attended a taping of ABC's "Dancing with the Stars" to show her support for Maureen McCormick.

It would be recalled that HGTV bought the home in 2018 before they announced their plans of pulling it down and renovating it for a new series, "A Very Brady Renovation."

For that particular job, they called for the help of Maureen McCormick, Christopher Knight, Barry Williams, Eve Plumb, Susan Olsen, and Mike Lookinland.

The renovation experience was emotional for the TV siblings, especially since their on-screen parents, Robert Reed and Florence Henderson, died in 1992 and 2016, respectively. While speaking to EW, Eve, who played the role of Jan Brady, said:

"We had scenes with them in every room. As we went back and forth during the remodel looking at old scenes, they were there with us."

Robert, who was considered a "model TV father" by many viewers, died as a result of colon lymphoma, which was associated with the HIV infection.

According to Associated Press, his daughter, Karen Baldwin of Wheeling, Ill., had at the time of her father's death decided not to mention his HIV status and instead stated that he died of colon cancer.

Meanwhile, Daily Mail revealed that until the end of the show, Robert had become known for making work onset difficult as he usually demanded that his lines be rewritten if he didn't like them.
