Lisa Loring, the original Wednesday Addams actress, dies at 64

Her daughter, Vanessa Foumberg, told The Hollywood Reporter she died of a stroke caused by high blood pressure.

"She went peacefully with both her daughters holding her hands," Foumberg said.

The actress had been on life support for three days, her friend Laurie Jacobson posted on Facebook.

"She is embedded in the tapestry that is pop culture and in our hearts always as Wednesday Addams," she said in her post.

The Addams Family, which was the first adaptation of Charles Addams' New Yorker cartoons, ran from 1964 to 1966 on ABC.
