American Bandstand. Otober 31, 1964. The theme continues on this Halloween episode of American Bandstand from 1964. John Astin talks about The Addams Family.
Actually Sean was the son of Patty Duke from a previous marriage (before she married John Astin). John adopted Sean, so while he was indeed Sean's dad, he was not his biological father.
*I remember watching the Addams Family when it showed on reruns. It was a marathon on tvland and I fell in love with the show from the start. I was only 10 or 11 when I first watched it.*.
Seems like a very sweet guy. I'm sure he's in perfect control, but he appears almost shy. i may be wrong, but I just get incredibly humble vibes from him.
I can't be the only woman who found Gomez wildly sexy... His passion for his wife was such a turn on, he adored Morticia and only had eyes for her. SIGH. That's most women's dream guy! And he has the most adorable overbite!
@@glamdolly30 yesssss wow he had that charisma and confidence and I loved watching him take her hand and hold it up to his face and snuggle into her neck. I made some faceapp videos and gifs as Morticia. I always thought that is exactly what I want to have. She was so gorgeous. I was born in the wrong era. I love the mustache. Another one I was gaga over was Clark Gable especially as Rhett Butler. That passion and the one little curl would fall over his forehead. *sigh*
John Astin was good in I'm Dickens, He's Fenster. He was GREAT as Gomez Addams. But wasn't so good as the Riddler on the 1960s Batman tv series. The Riddler in those days was owned by Frank Gorshin.
Don't forget his continuing part on "Night Court", appearances on 'Night Gallery', 'Freaky Friday' and 'The Frighteners', and of course the Numerous Stage Plays and his one man show as Edgar Allen Poe.
It was kind of weird, that I somehow had a crush on John Astin back when the show was on TV and yet, being the child I was, I also wished he could be my daddy, along with lovely Morticia being my mommy. , I was only six, so I guess that explains it. John Astin is still a cool guy.
His kids were afraid of "Gomez"? But Gomez's appearance isn't that scary. His appearance is regular enough that the plot often calls upon him to interact with the "normal" world, much as "Marilyn Munster" did.
