RIP Celebrity Thread - Part 4

Lisa Loring originated the Wednesday Addams role for other actresses to follow. Only few have surpassed her. She will be missed greatly. RIP

 

For Lisa Loring:

 

I really liked her Wednesday. She played it as more of just your typical kid in a 60s sitcom versus the darker, more demented versions we'd get in later adaptations, but that's okay. It worked for the time and it still works now.

Haven't seen Wednesday yet, but I imagine Season 2 will have some sort of tribute or 'In memory of' to her.

 

I always like watching the classic Addams Family, Lisa was a mere five years old when it began. seeing interviews with her, she always counted it as an honor to be a part of a notable franchise.

 

I had to find one of the old 24 threads to comment... this sucks, she ruled - best friendly antagonist and love interest to Jack. Still mad how they did her character dirty in the show.

RIP Cindy Williams and Lisa Loring. Lord knows how many hours of Laverne & Shirley I watched every night as a kid on Nick @ Nite, I loved them.



A very sad day in sitcom land today.

 

Sad news. Used to love her on L&S. RIP Cindy Williams.

 

RIP Cindy Williams and Lisa Loring. It's especially sad that now there's only one surviving main cast member for each of those shows.

 

Wow , Cindy Williams is gone too.
I always thought she was cute.
She appeared in alot of 70s films like The Conversation and American Graffiti .
She even tested for Star Wars.
RIP Shirley.

 

If you watch American Graffiti, you can totally see what Lucas saw in her that made her in the running for Leia. I’m actually not sure that Williams might not have been a better choice than Fisher if I’m being totally honest.

 

Laverne and Shirley are reunited eternally.

 

Making all the angels and saints giddy with laughter.

 

RIP The Genius Leaping Lanny Poffo. Younger brother of Macho Man Randy Savage and a wrestling star in his own right. He was 68.

 

I didn't follow wrestling close enough to know Lanny Poffo, but I of course knew of Randy Savage. Sad to hear of Poffo's passing.
