The Addams family musical has something for everyone great songs and dances, a love story, all our favorite Addams characters and of course some macabre humor from the first family of. He's fiercely loyal, extremely eccentric, and a romantic at heart. he was going behind my back and lying to me: that was it.The addams family characters. "I would not be involved with someone who did that.

The marriage didn't last long but produced a daughter and she had a second marriage that lasted five years and produced another child and a third marriage she calls "the biggest mistake of my life": her husband was acting in pornography and she didn't approve of it. Her mother died when she was 14 and she got married a year later. This eventually led to legislation specifying that a percentage of a child actor's earnings had to be placed in trust but Loring, who was a beneficiary of this, says it wasn't all that much, especially after taxes, agents' fees and living expenses were deducted.

he acted with Charlie Chaplin in The Kid (1921), among other roles and earned millions of dollars but when he tried to claim it on turning 21, discovered almost all of it had been spent by his mother and stepfather. Jackie Coogan, who played Uncle Fester, offered a salutary lesson. A Julliard-trained classical actor, he found it hard to get work because of his size. Ted Cassidy, who played Lurch, she remembers as being "very sweet" and frustrated". She has fond memories of working on the show and of her fellow major cast members, all of whom except for Astin and Felix Silla (Cousin Itt) have died - even Ken Weatherwax, who played Wednesday's brother Puggsley, who died in 2014 at the age of 59. :"I learned to memorise before I could read," Loring says of learning lines. Loring recalls a retrospective interview from when she was a teenager where she compared the humour of the two shows, saying The Addams Family was more sophisticated, like the Marx Brothers and The Munsters was more slapstick, like The Three Stooges The Addams Family ran for the same two seasons as the similarly themed "supernatural sitcom The Munsters. She also enjoyed the movies, although she notes they were darker in tone than the original series. While she's never seen The Addams Family musical - the night she was meant to go an urgent personal matter arose - she betrays no sign of bitterness at all that someone else has taken on "her" role. Loring has seen and done a lot: her parents were divoced shortly after she was born, her mother died from alcoholism at the age of 34, she's been married four times - the first at 15 - and divorced three times, she's had two children, survived the problems of being a former child star and the ups and downs of a Hollywood career, overcome drug addiction and survived with good humour and resilience.

Perhaps that's apt for someone who from the ages of six to eight played the grim-visaged young Wednesday Addams in the good-naturedly gloomy 1964-66 sitcom The Addams Family. Lisa Loring describes her life as "surreal".
