She was America's sweetheart.
Born in the Marshall Islands on Feb. 16, 1958, Lisa Loring grew up in a military family. Both of her parents served in the US Navy but divorced not long after she was born.

Loring lived with her mother in Hawaii before they moved to Los Angeles. At age 3, Loring started modeling and appeared in a single episode of the medical series Dr. Kildare in 1964.

A year later, she was selected to play the "Wednesday Addams." After playing the character for two years, Loring joined the cast of an ABC sitcom entitled The Pruitts of Southhampton.

In 1974, tragedy struck. Her mother died of alcoholism at the age of 34.

After her childhood acting career, Loring managed to secure a role on the CBS soap opera As The World Turns. From 1980 to 1983, she played the character Cricket Montgomery.

She would later appear in the slasher flicks Blood Frenzy in 1987 and Iced in 1988.

Other than acting, Loring also worked as a makeup artist in the adult film industry, which was not her only close connection to porn.

In the 90s, she also had a job with a Santa Montica-based interior design firm.

Since then, she has appeared in a couple of B-films but for the most part, she has retired from acting to instead focus on her family.

Born 1958, Lisa Loring died in 2023.
This video shows what Loring looks like these days and fills in as many gaps in her life story as possible: personal life, many marriages, children, pornstar husband, and frustrations with the entertainment industry.

It also reveals how Loring feels about her role as Wednesday Addams some six decades after the show that turned her into a star went off the air.

This is one facts-packed video not to be missed. Lisa Loring from The Addams Family grew up to be a stunning but tragic figure.


The wild sex life of Lisa Loring (Wednesday Addams) Family TV
(Cool Classics) Oct. 30, 2022: Cool Classics takes a deep dive into the life of beloved child actor Wednesday, who was played by Lisa Loring on Hollywood's 1964 TV series The Addams Family.

Her childhood was not traditional by any means. She was born to US Navy parents on a faraway island; divorce led to her mom moving them to Hawaii then to Los Angeles, where Loring landed her first TV role.

Her first television appearance was on Dr. Kildare and a few followed after The Addams Family, such as the Phyllis Diller Show and The Girl From UNCLE. 

She had a troubled sex life with four husbands, daughters, and work in the adult entertainment industry (the para-Hollywood porn industry over the hill in a different city called North Hollywood).

Loring had some serious hardships along the way. Good thing she became a strong woman able to overcome them.
