Inspired By Real Life
So, it wasn’t only the football hitting Marcia that was partially inspired by real life events. In fact, Schwartz often used real life events to write the plot for the episodes. He used things that happened to the actors and personality traits and habits of them to write. Like when Barry, aka Greg, plays music in different episodes, that’s because he would always do this in real life.

Head Spinner
Now, this one is a real head spinner…get it? Anyway, Eve Plumb was seriously considered for playing Regan in The Exorcist after her audition. She auditioned while still acting on the show. Honestly, we’re glad she wasn’t cast because it would have been hard to look at her the same on the show after seeing her in that horror film!
