The animated film The Addams Family pulled in more than $30 million during its opening weekend in October 2019. As fun as the new film may be, we can't help but fall back in love with 1991's live-action Addams Family — especially when the Halloween season rolls around. Here's what the iconic cast looks like today. Although Anjelica Huston was not the first or the last actress to play the role of Morticia Addams, you may remember her performance most vividly. She put a special twist on the character, after all. In an interview with Vulture in May 2019, Huston revealed that she based her portrayal of the character on her friend Jerry Hall — specifically the actress' quote, "sweet indulgence of her children." Huston explained,
"I just came upon the idea that the worse the children behaved, the more delighted Morticia was. I find Jerry incredibly beatific, she has that great accent and her children come before anything. I was trying to imagine Jerry bringing up the spawn of the devil, and how she'd still be indulgent and loving and understanding."
Since the 1991 film, Huston has gone on to captivate audiences through her characters in other films and television shows, such as her role as Vicki in Transparent and the Director in John Wick: Chapter 3. Sadly, her Addams Family husband, Raul Julia, passed away just a few years after the film's premiere.
