While promoting her new memoir, Happiness Included, Jan Brady and Beyond, she shared how the sketch hit her personally, mocking that famous jealous. Outburst, where Jan yells her sister Marsh's name three times. The parody starred Melanie Hutzel as IN, and it came years after the original show wrapped in 1974. Plum said it felt like a schoolyard bully picking on her old performance, even though she was grown up by then. That raw reaction surprised her, but it stuck with her. Fans know that Jan moment turned into a lasting meme, which frustrates Plum because it overshadows the good stuff.
