A “stroke”, eh?

👹

Rest in Peace to the original!

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.' More:

One correction on this obit: The Addams Family was not 'MGM-produced.' It was produced by Filmways, an independent company. MGM eventually bought their library and now owns the rights.

I was REALLY hoping she’d play Grandmama Addams in Season 2 of Wednesday!

This woman got so hosed by all the people who used her image and dance as Wednesday Adams to promote products and websites and enrich themselves it’s disgusting.

I remember watching her as Cricket Montgomery on As The World Turns in the early 80s.

Lisa thank you for entertaining me through a sometimes adverse childhood as R.I.P

Died on Sunday…ironic.

😞😢

Rip 🙏🙏🙏
