Lisa Loring, the actress who played Wednesday Addams on the classic TV show The Addams Family, has died.

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.”

Loring is best known for her glum Wednesday Addams on the black comedy The Addams Family. She played the character for just two years but set the template for the role.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, she was

Born Lisa Ann DeCinces on Feb. 16, 1958, in the Marshall Islands, Loring’s parents divorced when she was very young, and she came to LA with her mother. She was given the stage name Lisa Loring and started modeling at age 3. Her first television appearance came in 1964 on an episode of the medical drama Dr. Kildare.

After winning the part of Wednesday in ABC’s, MGM-produced live-action television adaptation of Charles Addams’ New Yorker cartoons, Loring began work on the half-hour comedy series at age 5 and a half, revealing in later interviews that in order to say her lines she

‘learned to memorize before I could read.’

Loring said in a 2017 YouTube interview at the horror convention, Monsterpalooza,

It was like a real family — you couldn’t have picked a better cast and crew. Carolyn Jones, John Astin — Gomez and Morticia — were like parents to me. They were great.”

Airing at the same time as The Munsters, The Addams Family ran for just two seasons, a total of 64 episodes. The cast was reunited in 1977 for Halloween With the New Addams Family.

At 92 John Astin, father of LOTR‘s Sean Astin, is now the last surviving member of the original cast.

Lisa Loring was 64.

Jenna Ortega’s interpretation on the Tim Burton’s hit Netflix series Wednesday, was inspired by the original and included a dance scene homage to Loring’s on the 60s TV series.
