Barry Williams, who famously played Greg Brady in The Brady Bunch, recently got nostalgic with his young daughter. He took her on a trip down memory lane to the set where they filmed the iconic sitcom. In a clip shared on social media, Williams brings his 12-year-old daughter Samantha through the back alley into the set. He explained to her that the blank wall of the hallway used to be filled with photos and letters from fans of the show.

The 69-year-old said that there must have been thousands of letters on the wall that looked like wallpaper, to which Samantha giggled. She seemed excited throughout the tour, as he showed her a sign that read “Closed Set,” but he admitted that they never closed the set during the filming of The Brady Bunch.

Next, he showed her a few rooms where the kids had to do their schoolwork. Williams and Maureen McCormick, who played Marcia, were the ones in high school, while the younger kids had different tutors. The video ends with Williams exclaiming, “Let’s keep exploring!” He captioned the video, “Taking a nostalgic trip down memory lane with my daughter, touring the set where we filmed The Brady Bunch. It’s an honor to share this special piece of my life and career with her. 📽️ #bradybunch #behindthescenes #tour #onset”

Fans loved to see Williams share memories from his Brady Bunch days but many were curious about his daughter. Most fans know that Williams has a son named Brandon, 21, with his second wife Eila Mary Matt, but many didn’t realize he had a daughter too. He shares Samantha with his ex-girlfriend Elizabeth Kennedy, and it sounds like their relationship wasn’t always smooth sailing. Kennedy has said that Williams wasn’t thrilled about the pregnancy at first and the two split up not long after. In 2015, Kennedy said that Williams was not making “good choices” when it came to Samantha, but it does seem like their relationship is much better these days. In 2017, Williams married Tina Mahina and the two recently celebrated their anniversary.
