The Wild Life of Lisa Loring Wednesday Addams Family TV

Today Cool Classics takes a deep dive into the life Lisa Loring, who played Wednesday Addams on the 1964 TV Series, The Addams Family. Her childhood was not traditional by any means.
We take a look at her first Television appearance on Dr Kildare and the ones after The Addams Family. Such as the Phyllis Diller Show and The Girl From UNCLE
We look into all of her husbands, daughters and her work in the Adult Entertainment Industry.
Lisa had some serious hardships along the way, and I am glad that she is such a strong woman, to be able to overcome them.
I hope you enjoy this Biography and my other documentaries.

Thank You everyone for the Prayers and Well Wishes! I am not sure when or if I post again on Cool Classics. Been focusing on work and spending time with my daughters. I recently started making a few videos of us exploring old or Freaky places, along with doing some public services, like cleaning up places and cemeteries.

My favorite part of this story is that the actor who played Uncle Fester made sure those kids got paid properly. Respect.

[@marksasahara1115]

Yes, the Coogan Act made sure that in CA child actors had some rights. Unfortunately, this did not carry over to other states and there were loopholes, but God bless that man for taking his personal loss into a crusade to help other child actors. True legend.

Jackie Coogan was a class act .

[@josephdougherty2399]

Jackie Coogan was a child actor himself and had been exploited. He was part of the Our Gang group as well as other rolls

His parents squandered all his money when he was a child actor. He made sure that would never happen to children he worked with.

Yes. Lisa Loring was the perfect Wednesday. But Christina Ricci from both "The Addams Family" (1991) and "Addams Family Values" (1993) was a fantastic Wednesday and Jenna Ortega from Netflix's "Wednesday" is a perfect reimagining of a TV classic.

[@joerubi6249]

@@bobstuckrath1805 Bob, that's understandable. Though both Ricci and Ortega have their own interpretations of Wednesday Addams, Lisa Loring was the one that set the standard. Besides, Netflix's recent movie adaptation of "The Munsters" was so terrible that thankfully, it will NOT be remade as a series because it could NEVER be taken seriously.

[@srbaruchi]

Fantastic job with this minibio! Kudos! I met Lisa when I was an editor for an entertainment magazine in So. Cal., 1986-87, and attended the VSDA (Video Software Dealers Association) convention in Las Vegas. As I was strolling through the booths on the "adult" side of the convention floor, I was magnetically drawn to a booth occupied by a stunning brunette. We started chatting, and I asked her if she was in the (adult) business. She said, "No, but my husband is." Her husband, at that time, was the famous Jerry Butler. That was surprise Numero Uno. Then I asked if she had done any acting. Rather coyly, Lisa said, "I was a child actor on TV. Do you remember The Addams Family?" I stared ... then blurted: "Little Wednesday?" Lisa returned a bright smile, and I knew I'd nailed it. Now, this wasn't any kind of news I could work into our magazine; however, over the years, it's made for what I think is a pretty good story -- one which I tell on a fairly regular basis.

[@808MANAKAI]

Lisa was my First (She gave me a kiss on my cheek because I gave her a cookie from my lunch) Girlfriend at 7 years old. Her Name then was Lisa DeCinces. We both went to Dixie Canyon Elementary School. She would miss school sometimes, Because she would be schooled on the movie set. I went to her house a few times for birthday party’s and such. She lived on sunnyslope ave Sherman Oaks in the San Fernando and if I recall at the time her guardian was her Grandmother. Many years later I was working in a Nightclub called Sasch in Studio City when in walks this lady. She walked up to my section on the bar. Paused and said do I know you. She told me her name was Lisa loring. After short conversation she said oh my god did you go to Dixie Elementary school. We talked in between me serving people for about 30 minutes, she said She had a Crush on me in elementary school, then she left and I never saw her again. Last, what’s funny was I was just telling someone this same story a week ago.

Door knobs in the center of the front door were very stylish and somewhat popular in the 50’s - 70’s. They were even more a wow factor on large double front doors and often had decorative surrounds (like star or abstract shapes).

[@GoodJuju.8D]

Family Affair. Watch an episode of Family Affair and you will see the same type of doorknob. It could've even been the same set they used for filming for all we know. If you watch an episode of I Dream of Jeannie, where she's riding in a car through the neighborhood, you'll see Samantha and Darren's house from Bewitched. Back then there was a studio "neighborhood" street to film on. I believe the Munsters house was there, as well, just farther out so as not to be seen unless it was actually needed.

[@kpaxian6044]

I live in an old building...built in the 50s. My front door still has a patch over from where the door knob was moved and recently some of the doors still had the door knob in the center. My building only changed out the fuses from the old glass fuses like a little over a year ago! O.o

"theatre movie"??? Dude it was a tv show in the 60s. There was no cable tv yet so people would gather around the ole' tube tv and watch funny shows.

It was a great show, they had a pet under the stairs that scared me every time the stairs lifted up-fog and growling etc. Uncle Fester was also always concocting stuff in his lab that would fail hysterically.

I remember and enjoyed her as Cricket Montgomery on the soap As The World Turns. She was gorgeous. I didn't realize it was for only 8 episodes.

What a wild ride of a life! Up and down and all the way back around a couple of times. The stories she could tell.

Before Jenna before Christina there was Lisa who set the standard for their portrayals of Wednesday and the Dance

It is always interesting how you find out that other people could have been in your favorite character roles in TV shows . Sometimes you can't imagine anyone else in the role.

2nd comment: oh my, you did great research. My mind is blown! Wow, I remember these shows and flicks (not the adult ones)...I had no idea! 🤯

[@srobertweiser]

You can't remember any of those adult flicks? I'm curious now and I wanna know what films she's worked on in the adult industry.

[@robertdragoff6909]

I had no idea what this woman went through, even a suicide attempt! I’m glad that she’s still alive today and, I’m not sure, but she and John Aston are the only two surviving cast members…. It was one strange but funny TV show.

November 13, 2022 - I think this is an excellent video biography of an actress that reminded me of my daughter when Ms. Loring was playing the part of Wednesday. Her expression in the opening sequence of the episodes, was exactly that of my daughter who was slightly younger in age. Congratulations to the Cool Classics host on his research, video clips, and narration. To the video host, thank you for a job well done. Wishing you every possible success now and in the future. Stay well.

Thanks for the fun times Lisa and the whole Addams family crew r.i.p to all.

Another great video! I love your thorough research and compassionate retelling of a life story. Thank you!

[@birage9885]

Wow, I've seen Butler in movies before, never knew he was married to Lisa. She had some rough times in her life, but it is good to see her doing well. She was a pretty child, a pretty woman, and she still is attractive at her age.

Thank you for showing me all this top secret knowledge of my childhood actors

[@CoolClassics]

It's my pleasure
