Long in The Brady Bunch Movie

Amidst much public controversy and public disappointment but what appeared to be a very personal choice, she left Cheers after Season 5 in 1987. Producers begged her to stay, offering her $400,000, but Long refused. Reports said that she left because she did not have good relations with her co-stars (who allegedly found her overbearing), and that she wanted to leave television roles for a film career. In a 2003 interview on The Graham Norton Show, Long said that she left for a variety of reasons, the most important of which was her desire to spend more time with her newborn daughter. Her first post-Cheers project was Troop Beverly Hills, where she played a housewife who starts a "Wilderness Girl" troop as a distraction from her divorce proceedings.
