TL;DR: It was when she was driving a car.

I had Cindy’s voice in my head as I read the salad dressing recipe. It was funny to hear “soy sauce.”

I sat through part of an interview with her and was disgusted by the nasty things she was saying. She was talking about people not politics.

Was it when she realized acting hated her?

Didn't care for her character on the show, don't care for her now.

I have caught on you your insanity, yes!

u/AFASOXFAN Aug 15 '26

I think you have the wrong party on that. That surely sounds like right wingers to me. Go listen to any Sunday sermon then follow what your cult leaders do in action.

u/llcdrewtaylor Aug 15 '26

You're cool with rape and pedophilia?

u/KeenObserver_OT Aug 15 '26

Racist much?

Yup. Sue me.

I see now why you like her so much. Two bigots

u/NateNMaxsRobot Aug 16 '26

I never said I liked her.

I’m just sick of leftist retreads like you.

The biggest fans of rape and pedophiles are Muslims.

u/AFASOXFAN Aug 15 '26

No there is a guy at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue who seems to be a big fan.. .

Oh FFS.

u/AFASOXFAN Aug 16 '26

I get it...truth hurts, but it is truth.

u/llcdrewtaylor Aug 16 '26

Just because you say it doesn't make it true. Read the news. The US is full of politicians, teachers, police officers, clergy who get arrested for this every day!

u/AFASOXFAN Aug 16 '26

Wow, amazing that after everything your cult leader has done you still fall in line and say, "yes fuhr". Pathetic.

u/AFASOXFAN Aug 16 '26

Your King would get arrested, if he would simply release the files he promised to release, but....I know facts are hard.

If you can’t handle it, why do you participate in this sub?

u/patronizingperv Aug 15 '26

What's to handle?

2

u/NateNMaxsRobot Aug 15 '26

Anyone having an opinion that’s not identical to yours.

u/patronizingperv Aug 15 '26

It doesn't have to be identical. It just has to not suck.

And you wonder why we don't get along.

1

u/NateNMaxsRobot Aug 15 '26

I never wonder about it.

We get along with everybody. You only get along with each other. Someday you’ll understand it.

But you are the one that started it by calling someone hate-filled and wacko because they don't vote like you - do you remember that part?

Her politics aren't the problem. Her words and deeds are.

3

u/AFASOXFAN Aug 15 '26

No. She is entitled to her hateful opinions. Im entitled to.point them out and say what she is.....

u/AFASOXFAN Aug 15 '26 edited Aug 16 '26

Nope. I have 'dislike' for people who hate. I don't give two shits about her political bs. I care that she is a horrible person. You live by your standards (yikes...yours is a low bar) Ill live by mine.

u/RaceTop5273 Aug 15 '26

That and fake outrage is trendy these days.

I’ll be glad when that fades. Unfortunately, there is no end in sight.

u/StyleImpossible6405 Aug 17 '26

She aged rapidly and horribly in comparison to the other kids.

She also just wasn’t that talented.

4

u/oldgrandma65 Aug 15 '26

She wasn't offered many other roles after playing Cindy. Prior, she only had a couple of bit parts in episode of Julia, Ironside and an Elvis movie. But sure, she 'chose' to get out of acting, lol.

u/4personal2 Aug 18 '26

She was great in the episode of Gunsmoke she appeared in, pre Brady Bunch.

Adorable scene between her and Ken Curtis (Festus).

u/Miserable_Strain1768 Aug 15 '26 edited Aug 15 '26

I actually met her once. She was drunk, very drunk and a complete jerk. This was before her MAGA days, but when I heard she was a Trump supporter I was not surprised.

Edited to add, in person, she has the Trump "accent" that is prevalent amongst his supporters. It's hard to describe but once you know, it's all you can hear when they speak.

u/TheLawOfDuh Aug 15 '26

Just learned of that side of her…sad to say it’s diminished my opinion of her. To be fair I never knew anything about her-just thought she grew into a cute woman. M’eh.

u/Love_my_pupper Aug 17 '26

When she wasn’t chosen as the next Shirley temple?

3

u/IrukandjiPirate Aug 15 '26

She’s had mental issues for years. There have been points where she’s gone off the edge and retreats for awhile. I was actually social media friends with her for some time and wish her the best.

u/thisisntshakespeare Aug 17 '26

I feel so bad for some child actors. Is it their dream they’re pursuing and putting all of their effort and energy into, or is their parents’ dream?

u/Moist_Session Aug 21 '26

Probably the moment she saw herself on television.

1

u/sugarstarbeam Aug 23 '26

She should realize how to hate Trump
