Robert Reed’s life didn’t seem to be all that he had hoped it would be. He is known the world over as Mike Brady, the patriarch of The Brady Bunch, an iconic television program from the 1960s and 1970s, but he was frustrated by the role because he considered himself a much more serious actor. He was also a gay man trying hard to hide his true nature. He was successful because when he passed away in 1992, it was a shock to most people that he had died of HIV and that this beloved father figure had, in fact, been gay.
