Lisa Loring, the actress who played Wednesday Addams in the classic TV adaptation of The Addams Family, has died. She was 64.
Loring died Saturday night at Providence St. Joseph Medical Center in Burbank of complications from a stroke caused by high blood pressure, her daughter Vanessa Foumberg told The Hollywood Reporter.
“She went peacefully with both her daughters [Vanessa and Marianne] holding her hands,” she said.
Loring is best known for her turn as the morbid, pig-tailed Wednesday in ABC’s black comedy sitcom The Addams Family, a role she took on at six years old in 1964. She played the character for only two years, but set the template for live-action portrayals of Wednesday, and was recently praised as an inspiration for Jenna Ortega’s interpretation on the hit Netflix series Wednesday.
