Carolyn Jones on 1982 game show- a year before she died

Seeing how beautiful, fun, and lovable Carolyn is in these clips, it's upsetting to think that only a year later should would be dead from cancer.
Best remembered as Morticia on the original "Addams Family", these are some highlights from Carolyn's week on "Tattletales" in 1982. She and her husband are asked questions about each other and must try to match answers. I always liked how "Tattletales" is almost more of a talk show than a game show.

[@BeeHatGuy]

Got into The Addams Family recently, and I'm just smitten with Carolyn. That poor woman deserved twice as long as she had on this Earth

[@VictoriaBitter1976]

Carolyn left us far too young :'(

[@ocarinasims]

Louise Hampton she passed away at 53. She was gone too soon and so iconic!

[@m.e.d.7997]

She seemed incredibly nice.

[@MeowPants28]

@Diane Newman She looks lovely, shut up Diane.

[@chrisreinhart3381]

I know she died early and her tv show addams family did not do that good

[@chrisreinhart3381]

She looked sicked there probably because she died that year

[@randysills4418]

I have a very good friend who taught Carolyn Jones dancing about a year before she died. She said she was extremely sweet and kind..a real dear lady.

[@Sealust50]

She said, "I love beauty in any form!" Says the epitome of BEAUTY, Carolyn Jones, aka and forevermore our endearing and beloved Morticia Addams!

[@Lexilove2016]

My first ever celebrity crush.

[@jensenbell]

After watching this, I love her even more.

[@meganlee2797]

I love her so much! Her laugh is adorable and she's so funny!

[@VespasianJudea]

Even in her 50’s she was still a doll.

[@caradecaballo]

poor thing, she was hiding her cancer, such a brave lady!

[@minkseales6280]

Just like Chadwick Boseman.. Very strong individuals

[@VespasianJudea]

I hate that she was cursed with 80’s cancer treatments. We might have been able to save her with todays techniques.

[@mjp96]

Yes, her wig

[@inkyguy]

Thank you. I was specifically looking for something that would allow me to see Carolyn Jones out of character. She is immensely likable.

[@robertamedina3963]

She left this world much too soon. A great actress

[@GSU2004]

Carolyn did a great job keeping it together given she was going through treatment for cancer at that time. You can see she had a wig on as she probably lost her hair due to chemotherapy. She was an amazing woman, loved her in Addams Family! She died a year before Lisa Loring's (Wednesday Addams) real life mother died from alcoholism.

[@Blancanieves1996]

What is her real hair color

[@FauZhee]

I think she aged badly due to chemotherapy (chemotherapy accelerates the aging). I bet she would look much younger & beautiful if cancer didn't strike her. But still beautiful though.

[@thatboyj9816]

@@FauZhee very much

[@GSU2004]

@@FauZhee Yes indeed. She was very sexy on Addams Family and it was noted in some of her interviews over the years post her last acting gig prior to her dying that she was depressed about the state of her career with so many promising hits becoming misses. She felt Addams Family had staying power and sad that she missed the 1990s renaissance for the series with the movies, new TV show and cartoon which dusted off the original series for a new return to syndication that lasted up until 2000.

[@January.]

She always wore wigs.

[@marcellofreitas7356]

I agree with you. Carolyn Jones was above everything a very nice person.

[@slh950]

Imagine going through that awful early cancer treatment and all that pain, and still telling people it was only ulcers and putting on a brave face for the public. So, so sad ... but what grace and strength!

[@MoonRhyse]

I cried while watching this, knowing she's not with us anymore is so sad, and I'm so sad that I wasn't alive when she was. If only she was still alive, I can just tell that she's an amazing woman, that anyone would have been lucky to know, my heart goes out to her and her family 😢♥️ Rest well Carolyn, you're greatly missed

[@mariakristinahawl1640]

Just you typing this and having that thought, rest assured that she knows from the other side of the veil what you think of her.......

[@inhibited44]

I got upset watching it too, but at least her relatives get to see what type of person she was.

[@calalilygirl]

She died playing a most wonderful character. She went out on top. I like that it happened that way for her.

[@GSU2004]

Yep, she worked until the end of her life, she loved acting. She used the show as therapy to keep her focused on the future instead of her condition. In one her finale interviews, she acknowledges that the cast and crew were very accommodating by working around her schedule and making scenes easier for her by having the character seated a lot and such

[@jeffreyemerson2565]

She was just pure CLASS

[@lovestospooge646]

RIP beautiful woman.

[@locutus1126]

what a sweet lady, glad I saw this. shelly long resembles her.

[@dornravlin]

she seemed like a fun and up beat person

[@spookyvegan1402]

Now being her age I realize how young she really was to pass away I remember seeing this episode as a kid I always loved her I was just watching house of wax with Vincent price and Carolyn Jones ❤️

[@MuskateerGripWeed]

Beautiful woman, R.I.P

[@danicegewiss862]

I'm enjoying hearing Morticia from her. She had the most beautiful eyes and heart.

[@XaurreauX]

She also appeared as Elvis Presley's love interest in the 1958 motion picture, King Creole, based upon the novel, A Stone for Danny Fisher by Harold Robbins.

[@MegaHorror2]

Thank you for posting this. I enjoyed watching a lot. Carolyn seemed fun, friendly, and down to Earth. Cancer is one of the worst things I can imagine.

[@3dartistguy]

she doesnt look sick at all...

[@gilbertramirez6626]

[@blastofo]

She was in remission at the time.

[@patricialacroix5582]

Except that she's wearing a wig... probably because she lost all of her hair to the chemo. :(

[@fighterluckless409]

Carolyn Jones is just adorable now she endlessly play the beautiful Morticia.

[@saysold1]

A very kind, beautiful and immensely talented women. I remember when she would often shop at my grandparents jewelry store in Beverly Hills - Raymond & Co.
