Lisa Loring

Lisa Loring, who played the original Wednesday Addams on "The Addams Family" from 1964 to 1966, died on 28 Jan. from a stroke at 64 years old, her daughter Vanessa Foumberg confirmed to NBC News. "She went peacefully with both her daughters holding her hands," Foumberg told the publication.

Besides "The Addams Family," Loring's notable roles include her recurring role as Cricket Montgomery on popular soap "As the World Turns" from 1980 to 1983.

One of Loring's most iconic scenes as Wednesday was in a season two episode of "The Addams Family" in which she teaches Lurch how to do a dance called "The Drew." Jenna Ortega recently paid homage to Loring's dance skills by doing her own dance to a nearly identical song as a high-school-age Wednesday Addams in Netflix's "Wednesday."
