Susan Olsen (born August 14, 1961) in Santa Monica, California is an American actress, best known for her role as Cindy Brady on the television sitcom The Brady Bunch from 1969 to 1974. She was cast in the role when she was just 8 years old and effectively grew up on television.
Because her television character was often getting into trouble, Olsen has expressed (as an adult) how difficult it was for her growing up. Olsen has said that the episode she dislikes the most is the "tattletale" episode in which she snitches on her brothers and sisters. Because of the episode, she was shunned by her real-life peers who did not understand the difference between actors and their characters.
As an adult Olsen moved into the graphic design business, and briefly marketed a brand of shoes that could be drawn on and washed.
