NYP: Lisa Loring — who played the original Wednesday Addams character on the original “Addams Family” television show — 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 report the death of our friend, Lisa Loring,” Jacobson wrote.
“4 Days ago she suffered a massive stroke brought on by smoking and high blood pressure. She had been on life support for 3 days.”
Loring’s family made the decision to remove the life support on Saturday and she passed overnight.
Jacobson added: “She is embedded in the tapestry that is pop culture and in our hearts always as Wednesday Addams.” MORE
Damn, another “icon” from my childhood gone (and she was younger than me, though not by much).
Smoking and high blood pressure?
Ever heard of amlodipine and lisinopril?
Did she get the jab and boosters?
RIP – loved that little girl (no – not like pedo Joe)
And John Kerry still breathes. There is no justice in the world.
What?

Wednesday died on Saturday and she owed me a hambuger this Tuesday….
Memories for me of the good old days watching a B/W TV laying on the living room floor with only 3 channels to pick from. May she RIP.
Very kind words Deplorable. You are so right.
