Character name: Ellen

Although she was only in one scene in this episode, Plumb portrayed a young girl named Ellen. The character didn't have a lot of lines, but she was full of life.

Fun fact: Plumb appeared on The Big Valley two more times in episodes called "Hide the Children," where she played Sara Jane, and "Explosion! Part 2," where she played Laure, a crying orphan whose peer tried to run away.

Character name: Marian

Although this is an uncredited role, it's hard not to recognize one of television's classic child stars when watching the episode. In this episode, Plumb played Marian, a young girl in the hospital who needed surgery.

Fun fact: This was one of the roles Plumb snagged before her starring part on The Brady Bunch. Also, it was one of four television roles she had in 1968.

Character name: Sue

Plumb played one of the school children in this episode. She would raise her hand to answer questions and ask them in the brief scene. The character was a small part but different than her other child roles because she was like a hillbilly.

Fun fact: This episode aired a few months before The Brady Bunch premiered in 1969.

Character name: Beth

In this episode, Plumb plays a young woman who comes on a cruise with her mom for a vacation. A comedian is playing a show during the trip, and he's the father who left them years ago. This role gave Plumb a more dramatic part than Jan Brady.

Fun fact: The actress appeared on two more episodes of The Love Boat between 1978 and 1982.

Character name: Meg

This is one of Plumb's older roles, where she grows out of being seen as a child star to an adult. In this role, she plays Meg, Blair's sister, who happens to be a nun that inspires Jo. This role is another one that's different from her starring part in The Brady Bunch.

Fun Fact: This role came before A Very Brady Christmas, along with a few other parts showing Plumb's success after The Brady Bunch.

There were smiles all around the set.
