Loring died Saturday night at Providence St. Joseph Medical Center in Burbank of complications from a stroke caused by high blood pressure, her daughter Vanessa Foumberg told The Hollywood Reporter.

Born Lisa Ann DeCinces on Feb. 16, 1958, in the Marshall Islands, Loring’s parents divorced when she was very young, and she came to live in Los Angeles with her mother.

After winning the part of Wednesday in ABC’s, MGM-produced live-action television adaptation of Charles Addams’ New Yorker cartoons, Loring began work on the half-hour comedy series at age 5 and a half, revealing in later interviews that she “learned to memorize before I could read” in order to say her lines.

“It was like a real family — you couldn’t have picked a better cast and crew,” Loring revealed in a 2017 YouTube interview conducted at the convention Monsterpalooza.

Loring returned to acting with Halloween With the New Addams Family and scored appearances on popular network shows Fantasy Island and Barnaby Jones.

She starred in Blood Frenzy and Savage Harbor(both in 1987) and Iced(1988), but the push into features was short-lived, and a troubled personal life, including a battle with heroin, effectively ended her acting career.
