Her famous character “Wednesday Addams” was the first adaptation of Charles Addams’ New York cartoons that ran on ABC from 1964 to 1966. She also appeared in the sitcom “The Pruitts of Southampton” and the soap opera “As the World Turns”.
Lisa Loring was born in the Marshall Islands. Her birth name was Lisa Ann DeCines but at age 3 she used her stage name when she started modeling. Her role as Wednesday Addams inspired a later version of Wednesday Addams’s character.

Jenna played the Wednesday Addams role in Netflix’s latest horror and comedy hit series “Wednesday”. The series draws more than a million views and become the most-watched show of all time.
In Jimmy Fallon on Tonight show, Ortega told Jimmy that in her show “Wednesday” she paid a tribute to Lisa Loring, the original Wednesday Addams. I just did a little bit of her shuffle what she does.
After Lisa’s death, Ortega shared a black and white photo of Lisa playing the role as a child on her Instagram account.
