Loring had recently gained more recognition and popularity for her iconic 1960s performance as Wednesday Addams, after Jenna Ortega confirmed on The Tonight Show that she took inspiration from Loring during her own role as Wednesday in Netflix’s hit reboot.

At 92 years old, John Astin, who played the role of Gomez Addams in the original adaptation, is now the only surviving cast member of The Addams Family.
