In her memoir, Happiness Included, Plumb, 67, recalled working on the show Family Affair. The CBS series starred Brian Keith as a New York City bachelor who takes in his late brother's three orphaned children, Cissy, Jody, and Buffy (played by Kathy Garver, Johnny Whitaker, and Anissa Jones). Plumb appeared in the tearjerker 1968 episode titled “Christmas Came a Little Early.” Her character’s name was also Eve.
The actress noted that it was hard for her mom, Flora, to see her in a wheelchair wearing jaundiced makeup to make her look sick. She added that the last scene in the episode was Buffy sobbing over the death of Plumb's character. “I’m surprised my mom made it through the shooting schedule,” Plumb wrote.
“Buffy’s friend is very ill and she’s dying,” Garver recalled. “We don’t see her die, but Buffy is changed, and Brian’s trying to comfort her. There were real tears in that one.”
“We certainly went to doctors and everything, but it was all about you know, speak your word and be positive and be careful what you tell people because not everybody wishes you well, which is generally true,” Plumb shared. “But it had a big thread of creating your world out of, you're creating your reality. So you have to be careful what you say, how you act, and what you do."
