He gave up acting, did a stint in the army, then became a set builder.

Love, love love Charles Addams. I have a number of his original collections. Before the movies came out, you could find them in used bookstores for a dollar or two.

Wow, this means only Wednesday Addams and Cousin Itt are the only surviving original cast members. Sad.

I recall "Morticia" died very young of an aggressive form of colon cancer.

John Astin is still alive.

Wednesday was my childhood idol.

We'll have to dig up Pugsly next Halloween.

We'll have to dig up Pugsly next Halloween.

He will, by then, be altogether ooky.

He will, by then, be altogether ooky.

Wednesday: We don't hug.
Becky: Oh, they're just shy.
Pugsley: We're not shy.
Wednesday: We're contagious.

When I saw the name the other day I wondered if he'd been related to Rudd Weatherwax.

Yes, he was his nephew.

 

[MonaLittle]

It makes me incredibly sad when I see someone at that age die. It's just too soon.

John Astin is still alive.

Oh hell, you're right. I was thinking of Raul Julia, but he played Gomez in the film, not the series.

I am, of course, deeply shamed.

I was really confused, because the article I read showed a picture of the newer adams family movie... and I was wondering how in the hell that little kid could be 59, now unless he had some weird condition.

During my childhood years, the Addams family were freakishly different. They would fit in perfectly, with today's reality show world.

That being said, it was wonderful to watch.

Pugsly
