As always Sue's insight is spot
on!
And, confidentially, John Astin
agrees!
Here's a Twilight Zone moment if ever
there was one...
When I first met John at a film festival,
5 years before I worked on the Addams Family, I related how
folks always told me I look like him. He replied that he should be so
lucky. I told him he had to sign a picture to me with that phrase.
True to his word he came back a few days
later with a small photo with that inscription. Five years later I was
cast as Gomez and John came in to play my Grandfather. I brought him into my
dressing room to show him the photo he had given me years before.
Talk about a true Hollywood story
straight out of Ripley's Believe It Or Not.

Yea Glenn,
For those of you that don't know, Glenn is an actor
and played Gomez Addams in the television remake of the Addams Family several
years back. My youngest daughter has her signed picture of him hanging in her
bedroom as she loves Addams Family also. I have raised both my daughter
cinematically correctly. I worked with John Astin and Patty Duke when they
were married and Glenn, when he has his moustache grown in, is
a dead ringer, except Glenn is more handsome. John Astin is a wonderfully kind
man and very funny. He did so many character roles in 50's and early 60's
television and films and was always great. I love the Addams Family too. My
best friend was the special effects director on the Addams Family films done
several years back and while his work was very good, I just couldn't get into
the movies. The television series set such a high standard for me, the movie
renditions didn't even come close.

I like the Munsters but I am obviously
and completely prejudiced when it comes to my love for the
Addams Family and the work of John Astin.
