Pugsley from the Original ‘Addams Family’ Has Died

Actor Ken Weatherwax died on Sunday at the age of 59 after suffering a heart attack. Ken played Pugsley on the original Addams Family TV series which ran on ABC from 1964 to 1966.

After the show was cancelled, Weatherwax found it difficult to find work in Hollywood and was typecast as Pugsley well into his teens.

At 17, he entered the Army. He then worked behind the camera as a movie studio grip and set builder after his acting career ended.
