Actress Lisa Loring - best known for her role as Wednesday in the series "The Addams Family" - has died at the ag.e of 64. She was the inspiration for Jenna Ortega to portray the character "Fourth Sister".

On January 31, a Guardian source confirmed Loring died at the hospital over the weekend after suffering a stroke. Children and relatives gathered around the actor in the last moments. On her personal page, writer Laurie Jacobson - Loring's close friend - said the stroke was caused by heavy smoking and high bloo.d pressure. The actress had to use a breathing tube for three days before her family decided to let her go on January 28.

Lisa Loring left her mark in popular culture when she was the first person to play the character Wednesday of the Addams Family franchise. She held the role from 1964 to 1966 at the ag.e of five.

Lisa Loring's Wednesday seems as bizarre as her family, but is much sweeter than the character in later adaptations. The role has stuck with Lisa Loring throughout her teenage years. As an adult, the actress returned to take on the role of Wednesday in the 1977 Halloween special The Addmas Family.

"Lisa's performance as the creepy littl.e gir.l, with her gothic style and classic braids, has strongly influenced the construction of the character's appearance to this day," commented the Guardian.

Loring was born in the Marshall Islands in 1958, later moving to Hawaii and then Los Angeles with his mother, respectively. She started modeling at the ag.e of three and had her first television roles. After the success with the Addams Family brand, she acted in the sitcom The Pruitts of Southampton and a number of television series such as The Gir.l from UNCLE, As the World Turns...

In the 1980s, Loring again attracted attention with roles in the horror genre. She acted in many projects such as Bloo.d Frenzy, Iced and Savag.e Harbor. Besides acting, Loring also worked as a makeup artist for the film crew.

She had four marriages. In which, the loudest love affair is the third husband - actor Jerry Butler. The two married in 1987 but divorced in 1992 because Butler did not agree to quit his job to focus on building a family.

Back to Wednesday, after the success of season 1, Netflix recently confirmed that season 2 is "green light" for production in the near future.

The ending of Wednesday season 1 clearly set the stage for season 2. When Wednesday was on her way home, she received a text message from an unknown sender, saying that they were 'following' her. . Audiences are now curious who her new stalker is and if they will be the new villains in the next season. In addition, the tragic passing of Principal Weems, a new principal who will have to arrive at Nevermore on Wednesday 2, will also create interesting new conflicts.

It would be more interesting if Wednesday season 2 took place during Wednesday's holiday, allowing the Addams family to appear more. An important plot point that may be explored is Morticia Addams assisting Wednesday in mastering her telepathic abilities. Wednesday's abilities play a big part in season 1, and she still has a lot to learn, so it makes sense that Morticia could start helping her daughter understand these abilities.

In addition to plot speculation, fans are also curious to know if Wednesday season 2 will still be released on Netflix because recently, Amazon successfully acquired Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, the studio that created Family. Addams. This company currently holds the Wednesday image rights, making many people think that Amazon will certainly not miss the opportunity to bring the Wednesday series to the Amazon Prime online platform, so Netflix is about to lose its "chicken". lay your "golden eggs"?

In fact, this has happened to Netflix before. Remember they used to do well with a series of Marvel superheroes such as Daredevil, Jessica Jones or Punisher, but a few years ago they also had to pay the film rights to these characters to Marvel Studios.

Many viewers are worried, including Vietnamese audiences, because Netflix is still the more popular online service in Vietnam compared to Amazon Prime. However, Amazon Prime also has Vietnamese language support and the price is not much different from Netflix, with a preferential price for the first 6 months of 2.99 USD/month and then 5.99 USD/month.
