Wax Off

(Hat tip to Monty)

Ken Weatherwax, bug-eating son on The Addams Family, has died of a heart attack at the age of 59. Other than later Addams Family-related appearances, he never acted again. Weatherwax claimed that he was typecast, ignoring the fact that his role consisted mostly of giggling and wooden deliveries. Making it to age 59, he was somewhat of an elder statesman among child actors, and outlived fellow Addamses Carolyn Jones (Morticia) (53) and Ted Cassidy (Lurch) 46.
