Lisa Loring is well-known as Wednesday Addams from the original Addams Family sitcom. Before her iconic role, she was born as Lisa Ann DeCinces. The actor started modeling at age 3 and took on her role as Wednesday at age 6.

According to CNN, Loring’s friend Laurie Jacobson posted to Facebook that Loring died after she “suffered a massive stroke brought on by smoking and high blood pressure.”

“She had been on life support for three days,” Jacobson wrote. “Yesterday, her family made the difficult decision to remove it and she passed last night. She is embedded in the tapestry that is pop culture and in our hearts always as Wednesday Addams.” Lisa Loring did not have a husband at the time of her death, and her kids and grandkids survive her.

Jenna Ortega plays Wednesday Addams in Tim Burton’s comedy horror Netflix TV series, Wednesday. “I paid homage to Lisa Loring, the first Wednesday Addams,” Ortega said of her role as the iconic character. “I did a little bit of her shuffle that she does.”

Who were Lisa Loring’s husbands?

So, who were Lisa Loring’s husbands? According to Opoyi, Loring was married four times.

Loring’s first marriage was to Farrell Foumberg. She married Foumberg at just 15 years old in 1973, and they were divorced in 1974.

Next, Loring married Doug Stevenson in 1981 and divorced him in 1983. Stevenson worked on the soap opera Search for Tomorrow.

Loring’s third marriage was to Jerry Butler. Butler was known for his involvement in pornography, and he also won Nathan’s July 4th hot dog eating championship in 1980. They met on the set of Traci’s Big Trick, an adult film that Loring assisted on as a makeup artist and uncredited writer. Butler and Loring had their wedding in 1987 and met that same year.

Loring and Butler’s marriage ended in 1992, and it seems Butler’s continued participation in the porn industry influenced their divorce. He admitted he felt “addicted to the lifestyle” and that it negatively affected his marriage. Overall, he took part in over 500 adult films.

Finally, Loring married Graham Rich in 2003. They officially divorced in 2014 after initially separating in 2008.
