The first Wednesday Addams has left us
Born in the late 1930s under the pencil of Charles Addams, the Addams Family has crossed the ages to come back to us, stronger than ever, in 2022. Created Netflix with the help of Tim Burton Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, the series Wednesday follows in the footsteps of the teenager, as she discovers other “marginals” within the school of Nevermore. She quickly finds herself linked to a series of murders, which she will seek to elucidate, even if it means having to socialize. But long before the cardboard made on the SVOD platform, there was a black and white television series, broadcast between 1964 and 1966.
We found in particular John Astin (Gomez), Carloyn James (Morticia), Ted Cassidy (Lurch) or even Jackie Coogan, Blossom Rock, Jack Voglin and Felix Silla, in the roles of Uncle Fetid, the Grandmother, of the Thing and the little cousin. But the star of the series was Lisa Loring, aged just 5 when filming began and who had been given the role of Wednesday. In France, the series was broadcast from 1987 to 1990, on the M6 television channel. Unfortunately, we learned recently learned his death, which occurred on January 28. Victim of a stroke, she had been admitted to the hospital and placed on respiratory assistance, before dying a few days later at the age of 64 years old.
A disappearance that affected the new Wednesday
The announcement of the death of Lisa Loring visibly touched Jenna Ortega, who had wished to pay tribute to her in the series in reproducing some of his movements. Aged only 20, the actress wanted to be part of the continuity of what had already been done, making Lisa Loring a real influence. Moreover, another Wednesday is present in the series since Christina Ricciwho plays Marilyn Thornhill, played the character in the movies of 1991 and 1993.
There were certain things that I knew I wanted to do. I paid tribute to Lisa Loring, the first Wednesday Addams. I do the same little dance step as her. The camera changed angles the moment I did it, but I really did it!, Jenna Ortega recently said.
Following news of Lisa Loring’s passing, Jenna Ortega took to her Instagram account to pay tribute to the actress, with two pictures of the deceased in her role as Wednesday. The whole thing was accompanied by a very touching short message, stating: “Absolutely devastated. thank you for everything“. A tribute simple and efficientwhich shows that the young star is not unaware of what has been done before her.
