Addams Family Tidbits

Although it lasted only two seasons, the Addams Family spawned a cartoon version, a made for TV movie, “Halloween with the New Addams Family” and a major motion picture starring Anjelica Huston and Raul Julia.

About The Thing. The disembodied hand was usally played by Ted Cassidy, the 6’9 actor who was Lurch. But occasionally Lurch and the Thing were in the same scene, in which case Assistant Director Jack Voglin doubled for Cassidy. Playing the Thing gave Cassidy something to do, since his only line in memory was, “you rang?”

On the opposite end of the height scale, Felix Silla (Cousin Itt) was a 3’11 midget.

Passings

Ted Cassidy died in 1979 after surgery, Marie Blake in 1978, Carolyn Jones in 1983 of colon cancer, Jackie Coogan in 1984 of a heart attack, Ken Weatherwax also of a heart attack in 2014 and Felix Silla passed in 2021 of pancreatic cancer he was 84.
