Original Wednesday Addams, Lisa Loring, died at the age of 64
Lisa Loring – who played the original role of Wednesday Addams on the original TV show Addams Family – has died. She was 64.
Loring was taken off life support on Saturday after suffering a “massive stroke,” her friend Laurie Jacobson said in a post on Facebook announcing the death.
“It is with great sadness that I announce the death of our friend Lisa Loring,” Jacobson wrote.
“4 days ago she suffered a massive stroke caused by smoking and high blood pressure. She has been on life support for 3 days.”
Loring’s family made the decision to remove life support on Saturday, and she died overnight.
Jacobson added, “She’s woven into the carpet of pop culture and in our hearts forever as Wednesday Addams.”
