A blog dedicated to analyzing every thing in The Brady Bunch and the Brady verse while also exploring the impact the Bradys had on pop culture, with a little humor and edge.
Despite a life of reading credits and always wanting to know everything about the things that I'm obsessed with, I can honestly admit that there's one Brady Bunch related moment I never put too much thought into, even though it's one of my favorite scenes in A Very Brady Sequel.
Who voiced Kitty Karry-All?
In a scene in A Very Brady Sequel, the Roy Martin impersonator has kidnapped Carol and tied up the kids, Alice, and even Kitty Karry-All, which on its own was funny enough. However, as each hostage thinks of the ways this could be all their own fault, Kitty Karry-All also chimes in. And never once, until recently, have I ever thought about who voiced Kitty Karry-All. It's not in the credits and it's such a small part I didn't give it too much weight.
But now it's a full on investigation. Because it may have been voiced by original Marcia Brady herself, Maureen McCormick. In fact, IMDb and Wikipedia both say so.
Maureen McCormick voicing Kitty Karry-All makes sense. It would be a double allusion, as in the 70s, Maureen McCormick provided the voice for a re-designed Chatty Cathy. Kitty's voice is a little Chatty Cathy-esque, but I couldn't locate any recordings of the doll from the 1970s to compare - most collectors have the older ones that were voiced by June Foray, who herself provided a voice in The Brady Bunch episode "A Clubhouse Is Not A Home." And it's on IMDb and Wikipedia. That should be good enough to trust, right?
I can't. I'm a fact checker. And most articles agree, not a single original Brady Bunch cast member was in A Very Brady Sequel. There's also no article of fun facts, no trivia, nothing outside of Wikipedia and IMDb to confirm that this unvoiced credit belongs to Maureen McCormick.
It could totally be her, but there's nothing to verify that it is. Are there any sleuths out there that are better at research than I am? Can you discover the truth? Wouldn't it be fun to discover there really was an original Brady Bunch cast member cameo in A Very Brady Sequel the entire time, under our noses, that we missed for 25 years?
I will post an update if this mystery ever gets cracked.
