I can’t imagine anyone but Carolyn Jones as Morticia. She was incredible.

Totally unthinkable to have anyone other than Carolyn J!!!! She paired perfectly with John Astin.

@jackgrattan1447 5 лет назад

@Don X John Astin was on Gilbert Gottfried's podcast just a few months back. Good interview. Worth checking out.

@SolidMike84 5 лет назад

Can't see anyone else in her role, the chemistry she and John Astin had was just fantastic. Relationship goal.

@satanswife2546 4 года назад

The two did fell for each other but for some reasons they couldn't been together

@liamath1 3 года назад

Yes!... Carolyn and John were like Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny at that time. :)

@kendallrivers1119 3 года назад

Wouldn't call it a goal since they're relationship was impossible for any real life couple to reach lol. I'd say they're the ultimate fantasy. Don't we all wish it were possible to be as perfect as Gomez and Morticia?

@kandipiatkowski8589 5 лет назад

Carolyn IS Morticia, just like all the actors in the show. I can't imagine anyone else in each role.

@Joe..3.8.0.9_ 5 лет назад

@marybethkavinsky5519 3 года назад

Yes she was & the only choice.

@christopherkraft1327 5 лет назад

Carolyn Jones was absolutely the right choice for Morticia as was the rest of the cast, they were perfect & played well off each other. Thanks Rick for another fun video & as always, stay hopeful, I am 🙂😄

@MikeB071 5 лет назад

Carolyn Jones was hot! I just can't imagine any other actress making Morticia such an alluring, albeit scary, character!

@johnmcjunkin4613 5 лет назад

Loved Caroline Jones as Morticia Addams. She brought class to the character and in a funny way...a sense of style and charm. Rest in peace, Ms. Jones.

@QueenCityHistory 5 лет назад

Carolyn Jones and Angelica Huston both embraced the role of morticia Addams in their own perfect and unique ways

@paulstan9828 5 лет назад

Can’t imagine anyone else as Morticia! 😁

@Beautifulmusiclistnr 5 лет назад

Whenever I watch The Addams Family, the only person I focus on is Carolyn Jones when she's in a scene. She's was beautiful and graceful, and I've seen her in other movies, but she was the perfect Morticia. I always felt that she really shined in The Addams Family! Another excellent video. Thanks Rick!

@whitey2bacons367 5 лет назад

@MrLourie 5 лет назад

Hello Rick, we'll obviously never know how well the other actress may have been as Morticia Adams, but Carolyn Jones was perfect for the role. She also looked beautiful with the longer hair, rather than her normal short hair.

@geo-george2639 5 лет назад

I agree with you. She never looked as good as when they had her fixed up as Morticia. Her preferred short hair was not really flattering to her face.

@JBIRDRN8 5 лет назад

They made the right choice. No other actress could have done better! Loved her!

@randytim512 5 лет назад

I can't see anyone else playing Mortisha other than Caroline Jones. Perfect casting. Great chemistry between her and John Astin was crucial to making the show work. Great video Rick!!

@djhutcherson6761 5 лет назад

@cdragracer 4 года назад

Thanks for the videos on the Addams Family. Growing up in the 60's, this was one of my favorite shows. As I have gotten older, a lot of the 60's TV shows are just timeless favorite memories. As I watched some of your videos this week on the Addams Family, I just didn't know much about Carolyn Jones. I watched a 5 part bio of her on youtube and am flatly amazed at her life on stage, films, and TV. She was the real deal at the time of casting. All the quirky roles she had already played made her a perfect fit. She has some incredible eyes. Gets me everytime. Thanks for connecting the dots on the show. As far as your other video on Carolyn being difficult, I would bet she would just add her ideas on making a scene work to the T. She was that good. I bet she was a perfectionist in her work. It shows. She had a reputation as a scene stealer on about anything she did. And again, she was that good.

Morticia: "Gomez darling, what is this?" Gomez: "That's a sextant." Morticia: "That naughty boy."

@jackgrattan1447 5 лет назад

Producer (and uncredited head writer) Nat Perrin was a lifelong friend of Groucho Marx and co-wrote the screenplay for DUCK SOUP. That's got to be one of his lines.

@SuperSusieBell 5 лет назад

Carolyn was perfect in the role and her romance with John was so adorable. “Tish, you spoke French!!!

@jershumuyo2734 5 лет назад

Carolyn Jones by all accounts was a class act and really liked interacting with fans in character. They couldn't of found a more perfect choice. I only wish the show could have gone a little longer.

@mikeshifflett6162 5 лет назад

Carolyn Jones was the only choice just like John Austin for gomazz they had great chymistry together

@satanswife2546 4 года назад

@powrman55 5 лет назад

Carolyn Jones was the perfect choice. Even though I was just a young boy when this series aired on TV- I was infatuated with Carolyn Jones as Morticia.

@TheNortheastAl 5 лет назад

I agree with others that Jones was absolutely perfect as Morticia. I don’t think anyone could have played the part better. Jones had an air of sophistication about her that made Morticia very credible as an Addams and as a wealthy woman. I would love to see more inside information about other characters on The Addams Family as well as other shows. Thanks, Rick.

@JamesPollMaine59 5 лет назад

Keep your videos about the Addams Family coming. Unthinkable to have anyone else other than Carolyn Jones play Morticia.

@anyamarie42 2 года назад

Carolyn Jones was and shall always be Morticia Adams and no matter who else plays Morticia Adams. She made Morticia Adams come to life like no one else

@DJDarkGift 4 года назад

Carolyn Jones was the perfect casting choice for the role, I can't even think of anyone who could have even remotely done a more perfect job. Great Video.

@Jared1701 5 лет назад

Yes sir, I would like to see a video on the casting of Uncle Fester and the other characters as well 👍

@satanswife2546 4 года назад

They just casted them nothing out of the unusual, the casting of Carolyn is different

@wistfulwraith3296 5 лет назад

Both actresses had the right look for the part, but Carolyn was lovely and brought an unexpected sweetness to the role. It paired nicely with John Astin's good-natured exuberance.

@jonathanpoole5316 3 года назад

The original series was cast perfectly, one of the reasons we are still talking about it.

Carolyn Jones IS Morticia Addams!!!!!!

@brettpugh7898 5 лет назад

She was the PERFECT woman to play morticia! In the 70s she did a guest spot as morticia on scooby doo, and even her voice is perfect lol

Definitely would like to see more on Uncle Fester and Grandmama. Keep up the good work Rick. Appreciate your efforts!

@ricknineg 5 лет назад

@joesinkovits6591 5 лет назад

Anyone other than Carolyn Jones as Morticia?? Let’s not be ridiculous! As always, great video, Rick! Interesting seeing Miss Jones without the Morticia wig. Thank you!

@schnertblatt 4 года назад

Carolyn Jones was THE Morticia Addams . . . beautiful but demure, loving towards Gómez but a trifle mysterious, a breathy low voice, air of intelligence, the utmost in true courtesy and grace, a doting caring mother, a loving daughter and niece . . . Carolyn Jones easily did all that in the show to PERFECTION! (AND, being 10, 11, and 12 when the show was being aired, was I ever hot for Morticia! 😸) They definitely got it right in picking Carolyn Jones for the part!

@jb6712 4 года назад

Hands down, Caroline Jones was the first and only choice for Morticia Addams. I was a very young child when the show was on, but I remember telling my mother that I wanted to look "just like" Morticia when I grew up---I thought that she was about the most beautiful woman ever, at least in my 11 year girl eyes. Even now, seeing her in the reruns, and being in my late 60's, I think she was gorgeous.

@mrjayy82 4 года назад

I cannot imagine anyone else playing Morticia Addams. Carolyn Jones nailed it. It's an interesting fact that she wasn't originally thought of when it came to playing the part as well as the fact Grandmama could have had Alice Pearce (AKA Gladys Kravitz in "Bewitched")!! Thanks Rick! 👍

@jamesryan6224 5 лет назад

It wouldnt be the same without Jones

@jrose358 5 лет назад

Carolyn was the correct choice!! Can’t imagine anyone else playing the role. Great video Rick

@shinn0314 4 года назад

@0414obx 5 лет назад

Carolyn Jones is the answer, no matter what the question is. Keep up these great videos!

@stillkicken2007 5 лет назад

1) let on all the good stuff... 2) Aaron Spelling had a direct ties to Adams Family and Beverly Hills, 90210 wow... Keep up the good work .

@VIDEOHEREBOB 5 лет назад

Thanks Rick. Seems a blonde haired woman might not have worked for that character.

@llydrsn 3 года назад

I believe Carolyn Jones was blonde when she started, but got her more prominent roles after she dyed her hair black

@RobertBosworth 5 лет назад

No way, really, to tell how someone else might have done. But I think Carolyn Jones pretty much defined the role. I would like to see information about other casting decisions. Great video, keep it up.

@villain5873 5 лет назад

Please elaborate as much as possible, love the info on my favorite classic shows❤️

@georgecrosley5848 2 года назад

As a kid I had a crush on Morticia. I don’t think anyone could play that part half as good as Jones.

@haggismuncher 4 года назад

There was two women in the late 60’s & early 70’s that appealed to me the most Carolyn Jones & Yvonne de Carlo...2 absolutely stunning actresses!,

@kennethbjorkmann8517 5 лет назад

Jones was the consumate choice, no doubt about it. I'd be interested in knowing the audition histories of other members of the cast as well. Such great research, Rick. We enjoy these short videos!

@ricknineg 5 лет назад

@marybethkavinsky5519 3 года назад

I loved this segment & learn a lot from you ! Keep them coming as they make my day ! Thank you 😊 for sharing !

@TTM9691 3 года назад

I haven't seen that show since the 70s and just started rewatching it two days ago. I can't believe how great she is. An impeccable performance, every line, every look, every movement. Every time I watch an episode, I almost always watch every scene with her and John Astin twice (at least), just to catch what each one is doing. . It's literally an acting lesson watching those two together (and apart). I never knew how great she was until the other day. PS - Just found out: she was on Roots! She was Chuck Connor's wife on Roots. She was excellent in that, completely different. She was also completely different on "Batman". In the 1950s, she did a movie with Elvis....then one with Sinatra! The stories she could tell, huh? Oscar-nominated actress. That's why she got top billing.

@Sealust50 4 года назад

Carolyn Jones CREATED what Morticia Addams embodied! She made it HER OWN! CLASS, GORGEOUS BEAUTY, UNTOUCHABLE ELEGANCE, CHARM, GLAMOR, SOPHISTICATION all rolled into one PERFECT package. Whatever you do, don't even mention Angelica Huston's crappy "attempt" at playing the part of Morticia! (😆🤣😆🤣)

@stevenkeech1992 5 лет назад

I can't think of anyone else as playing Morticia she was perfect for the roll. I'd love to more on the other cast members such as John Astin, Blossom Rock, Jackie Coogan and Ted Cassady

@liamath1 3 года назад

She was brilliant, She was beautiful, She was an excellent actress, She was and always will be the perfect Morticia. ***

@jimtomassetti4817 5 лет назад

Yes by far...Caroline Jones was the one for the part to a tee!

@sandrasanders706 5 лет назад

Larry Hagman perfect is JR Ewing, Joan Collins perfect as Alexis, Carolyn Jones can't think of anybody else who could do the role and who embodied what Morticia Adams really is about! Do more on the casting...this is really terrific stuff!! Ric thank you!

@pleonic 5 лет назад

I've loved Carolyn Jones in literally everything I've ever seen her in -- even her parts on Dragnet. And I think she was the perfect one to create the role of Morticia. I would be interested in learning more about the other actors, particularly the one considered for Fester with Jackie Coogan.

@revzillo 4 года назад

Carolyn Jones all the way , she was just perfect , infact she was Morticia Addams and still is

@janicejones2820 5 лет назад

Yes most definately Carolyn Jones. I thought also Carolyn Jones & John Astin made a cute couple.

@nelsonhall4248 5 лет назад

I don't see anyone else who could have been a better Morticia than Carolyn Jones she was both graceful and sexy at the same time.

@randelbrooks 5 лет назад

Caroline Jones had a major role in the famous film invasion of the bodysnatchers which clearly put her in science-fiction horror subject matter films, and it didn’t hurt that she was married to Aaron spelling. She obviously did not need the money but she was very well-connected and spelling was making a lot of TV series. So…

@elflvr04 5 лет назад

She was also in the Vincent Price film, House of Wax. So she has some horror film cred too :)

@randelbrooks 5 лет назад

elflvr04 That’s right now that you mention it she was in that!

@mgmcd1 5 лет назад

A series on casting choices would be awesome. She was one of my first crushes. 🤓

@roberttelarket4934 5 лет назад

Joan Huntington was too beautiful for the part even though the gorgeous Yvonne Decarlo the counterpart from the Munsters got the Lilly role. Carolyn Jones was perfect as was Jackie Coogan, Uncle Fester; his voice was beyond just right! Also of course Aaron Spelling her husband who if rich and powerful then as he eventually became definitely would have forced the situation! Finally it should be noted Carolyn had to have an audition. She was not a top star until after the show.

@Blacksheepishot 5 лет назад

There seems to be a kinda film standard when execs get together too discuss who will play a role. Same with the munsters they had a different Lily in the color pilot. However, top brass knew Yvonne De Carlo was born to play the role and the rest is history.

@richardharden4437 5 лет назад

Definitely the best choice for Morticia, I would like to see more videos on other characters too, keep up the good work rick.

@trotterhorsewatsonjr.6668 5 лет назад

Proves one should not rush to judgement, before exploring all options! Carolyn was a perfect choice in the end. And Angelica Houston was a perfect replacement for the role in the movies!

@gc4644 5 лет назад

I cant imagine ANYONE else playing Morticia than Carolyn Jones! Her mysteriously looking beauty and those sexy eyes,, Gomez was right in calling her "Cadia, and kissing up her arm!! Aaron Spelling was a lucky man!!

She was perfect for the role :)😊😉👍

@roberttelarket4934 5 лет назад

It's possible and interesting to contemplate and envision momentarily Yvonne Decarlo as Morticia and Carolyn Jones as Lilly.

Carolyn jones is the only one to play the part

@antonnym214 5 лет назад

Carolyn Jones was clearly the correct choice. AND, i want to see your special about uncle fester and jackie coogan!

@ds99 5 лет назад

I liked Carolyn Jones as Morticia. I think she had a creepy look and way about her. She was perfect for the role. I didn’t know Alice Pearce was thought of for grandma. I loved Alice Pearce in Bewitched. She added a lot if laughter to Bewitched. It’s sad she died so young.

@oveidasinclair982 5 лет назад

I couldn't picture anyone else except Carolyn Jones as Morticia Adams, I never really liked the follow on movies that came out years later because they used different actors and actresses, especially when it came to casting Morticia, Wednesday and Uncle Fester. They took the little girl out of Wednesday and made her too morbid, Than Uncle Fester is uncle Fester, how could you possibly pull off changing Uncle Fester. Carolyn had an unique personality and was stunningly beautiful as Morticia.
