Leaving her hair in loose waves, she pulled on a pair of sunglasses and slung a bag over her shoulder.
Susan Olsen, famed for her role in The Brady Bunch, was seen clutching her car keys as she exited her white SUV.
The 63-year-old juggled a bunch of papers under her left arm as she made her way around town.
Her very different look to her Brady Bunch role - which saw her playing youngest Brady child Cindy - came after her former co-star Maureen McCormick also left fans doing a double take with her look.
Susan and Maureen, as well as Mike Lookinland, Eve Plumb, Christopher Knight and Barry Williams starred as the siblings in the US sitcom from 1969 to 1974 and then reunited for the reboot.
Santa Monica born Susan - who was aged seven when she was cast in her plum TV role - was often seen on-screen with her blonde locks tied into to pig tails for her five years on the series.
SUSAN'S TAKE
Susan has previously spoken out about her tendency to play "dull" roles in her career.
She previously said: "That's just how my career was and it was something I had to accept."
The Brady Bunch was a massive hit for five years from 1969
She also opened up to the Real Brady Bros podcast about a scary incident on set.
It saw the child star hit with a piece of equipment while she was having her make-up done prior to the show's pilot episode.
She said of the aftermath: "My eyes were black.
"I mean, I had two black eyes. My nose was swollen. My face was swollen."
She added: "The saddest news is that we didn't sue Paramount, because I would have made more off of that than the show.'
Meanwhile, her former Brady Bunch co-star Maureen has opened up on the prospect of a series reboot.
Maureen recently told People: "It's so hard to do a reboot or a remake of something.
"So I feel very protective of it in a way. It has such great memories for so many people, but it would just have to absolutely knock my socks off for me to want to do anything with it. I would know in my heart.
"But it was such an incredible show to be a part of, and my best memories of the show are the people, the crew, and their families."
OTHER PROJECTS
Susan also appeared on Space Ghost Coast To Coast, Blending Christmas, The Young And The Restless and Gimmie My Reality Show to name a few.
Film-wise, she featured in 2009 flick Zombo and in 2015, in Mamam Claus, Deck The Halls With Guts.
Away from TV, she has been the spokesperson for the Sindy doll and also for migraine sufferers.

This Morning's Emma Willis baffled as 'dinosaur egg' bought at car boot worth thousands
This Morning host Emma Willis was left speechless after finding out the whopping price of a guest's unusual item This Morning's Emma Willis was left speechless after an expert revealed the price of what was believed to be a dinosaur egg. During Thursday's (August 7) episode of the ITV hit daytime chat show, Emma Willis and Joel Dommett stepped up to the plate to present while Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard are on their summer break. And with car boot season in full swing, the duo were joined by pawnbroker Dan Hatfield, who was on hand to help viewers sort their trash and treasure. However it was one viewer's bizarre item that left Emma speechless after finding out the eye-watering valuation. This Morning viewer Susan appeared on the show via a video link and shared her 'unusual' item. Speaking to the hosts and Dan she said she believed she had a dinosaur egg that was passed on to her from her grandmother, who found the unique item at a car boot sale. A picture of the egg appeared on the screen, Joel was baffled as he asked: 'What is this, what is that?' Everyone burst out laughing as Dan jumped in: 'Joel is very confused.' The expert then joked: 'It kind of looks like a gone off jacket potato.' Joel replied: 'It doesn't look that great.' The TV presenter was not convinced that it was really a dinosaur egg as he asked: 'A dinosaur egg, who has a dinosaur egg. Do you think it's a dinosaur egg?' Emma jumped in: 'I mean I really want it to be.' Joel was keen to find out more as he asked Susan: 'So what is this?' Susan began to doubt herself as she replied: 'I don't really know but I wish I did know more. We've just grown up calling it a dinosaur egg.' Unsure of how much the egg was originally purchased for, Susan was keen to find out how much it could be worth today. Dan admitted: 'I can't tell for sure if this is a dinosaur egg without looking at it in person but does it have the signs of an egg, well it's in shape and brown like a fossil. I really want it to be and I believe it is a dinosaur egg.' The pawnbroker then left host Emma lost for words as he revealed: 'I bet good money on this being a dinosaur egg, in fact I bet about £2,000 on this being a dinosaur egg because that's how much they're worth.' A baffled Emma replied: 'I think the diversity of the things we cover on the show but this has left me... I don't know what to say, I literally don't.' Joel added: 'I think we need to get exclusive evidence if this is real or not so I think you need to go away Susan and get it scanned.'

Good Night, Oscar is a Tony Award winner, but nobody this side of the Atlantic will care
Who is Oscar Levant? On myriad levels, this is the question both we and Doug Wright's play, coming to London after a Tony Award-winning run on Broadway, need to ask. Levant, as a minor character here so handily recaps, was a film actor and pianist, most notably in An American in Paris; in addition to this, he was a prized wit and raconteur, famed for his one-liners, just like another Oscar, Wilde. Levant also struggled with serious mental health issues and addiction to prescription pills which he talked about openly, if superficially. Yet we leave this 100-minute play no wiser as to the real man behind this troubled facade. Although we understand that Wright has serious points to make about the shifting morality of what is served up in the name of ratings and entertainment, we cannot help but feel a little bit grubby. The year is 1958 and Oscar (Sean Hayes) has been booked to star on the live late-night NBC chat show hosted by Jack Paar (Ben Rappaport). It's important to note that American pop cultural references abound, which makes the piece a tricky proposition this side of the Atlantic. Come almost start time there's still no sign of the man himself; Wright provides a good 15 minutes of anticipation building before Oscar appears. It transpires that Oscar's wife June (Rosalie Craig) has had him committed to a psychiatric institution but has fraudulently wangled an exeat for him for this recording, believing that the adoration of the public will prove beneficial. For his part, the crafty Paar knows that Oscar's mental instability will lead to firecracker television. Oscar has proved a career-changing role for Hayes, best known for his role as the flamboyant Jack on the long-running sitcom Will and Grace. Hayes won the Tony for Best Actor for his work and, accomplished though Oscar's slurred drawl and twitches are, it's a performance that lacks any sense of interiority. We must wait until right at the end of Lisa Peterson's production to witness Hayes in true virtuoso mode, as he sits down at a Steinway and reveals himself to be a dazzlingly accomplished pianist who blazes through a seven-minute segment of George Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue. At this point, it's easy to think that we are in the Barbican Concert Hall rather than Theatre. All the same, I don't think that theatre awards should be given out for piano playing. Wright affords a similar lack of emotional depth to the stoic June, herself once a promising film actress and Craig, brisk and business-like, does what she can with a limited part. Elsewhere, it's all carelessly unsupervised pots of pills and characters telling each other things they surely already know. I cannot say that I was sorry to bid goodnight to Oscar and his colleagues.
