A tribute to Robert Reed

This is a tribute I made to a man who played Brady, Robert Reed.
Even though Bob Reed didn't like the Brady bunch becuase he felt it was below his Shakespearein trainging although he loved the children Barry, Maureen, Chris, Eve, Mike and Susan were treated as though that was his real children.
I have "Brady home movies" on DVD and when Chris Knight (Peter) starts talking about him he actually gets chocked up and I don't blame him at all I would to if I knew a man that was like another father to me.
In 1992 Robert Reed called Florence Henderson (Carol) on the phone and told her that she was to tell the kids and Ann B. Davis (Alice) that he thought that he was going to make it but unfortunatly he didn't, and I believe some months later he passed away with cancer with also struggling from aids which was the reason he dyed earlier then excpected becuase the aids made his amuine system weaker.
So I just thought that I'd show some respect towards him and make this little tribute, becuase everyday this man and the rest of the Bradys make me happy even when I'm waaaaaaay down just watching the DVDs of the seasons I have make me so happy.
He was the lecture king and an understanding father.
Thank you Robert Reed for going through with The Brady bucnh even though you couldn't stand it, if you were still here you would've seen how many hearts you and the rest of the Bradys touched (even the younger generation such as myself)

Ugh what an asshole you are!

[Witchboy1962]

yomamadontdanz stop & just think before you speak. Robert had more love & respect for his on screen children (Barry, Maureen, Eve, Chris, Mike & Susan) then anyone will ever know.

Please let the man rest in peace & just leave him alone. Robert was the most kindest & gentlest of human beings & to hear you or anyone else speak ill of him just makes me want to ring your F@#$%^ LIL NECK!

@randystephenson

It makes sense to me.  I have read and heard quite a bit about the reality in which you posted!

@Witchboy1962 Wise words, I'll never forget Mr. Reed. He was a very handsome man, one of the most handsome actors in all times. He is a treasure for my memory for ever.

@wesinalabama It wasn't just the fact that Robert Reed got uncomfortable during love scenes with Florence Henderson on account of his sexual orientation,but he was a trained actor.Kudos to him for keeping that under wraps until the day he died.There's no way he'd have been able to do that in this day and age.

@lifeisgood82 I agree with you. I'd be happier if I'd never learned that aspect of him. He is still one of my favorite actors!

[chrisman737]

@wesinalabama, well, if he was difficult on the set it was because he was an accomplished dramatic actor and found it hard to do a sitcom.

[wesinalabama]

Florence said he was difficult on set also. That is not demeaning a dead man, just telling it like it is. He should have realized it was just a Friday-nite kid's show, not Shakespeare. When you are lucky enough to get a network show, it would be well to not keep the cast, crew--and people footing the bills--waiting while you work off your temper tantrum. As for the gay thing, there were NO open actors or performers in those days, including Liberace and Paul Lynde.

He was my first crush...until he got the perm!

Miss you Mr. Reed!

A very touching tribute. Robert Reed was a good man, no matter what certain people may say.
