Lisa Loring's connection to porn was tragic. She befriended three different performers who killed themselves - Nancy Kelly, Cal Jammer and Alex Jordan.

Lisa is best known as Wednesday Addams from the 1964-66 TV show The Addams Family.

In 1974, when Lisa was 16, her mother Judith died of chronic alcoholism. Lisa had already given birth to newborn Vanessa. She soon divorced her childhood love Farrell Foumberg.

Next Lisa married actor Doug Stevenson and gave birth to her second daughter in 1984, Marianne. Then after divorcing Doug, she moved in with porn star Jerry Butler. They eventually married.

In 1991 she found the body of Kelly Van Dyke (daughter of actor Jerry) after an apparent suicide by hanging. Lisa then tried to kill herself by drug overdose.

Loring became addicted to heroin. She befriended porn star Jill Kelly whose husband Cal Jammer shot himself in the head in January 1995. Lisa also was a friend to Alex Jordan who hung herself later in 1995.

Loring appears in the trash films Blood Frenzy (1987), Death Feud (1989), and Iced (1988). She made a non-sex appearance in the 1992 porno Laying Down the Law, where she looks old, tired and hagged.

After leaving Jerry Butler, Loring entered drug rehab. She says she has conquered her addiction to heroin.

Lisa's new flame, according to People magazine, is Tim Drury, son of James, star of the 1960s TV series The Virginian. She works for the Santa Monica interior design firm the Painted Lady.

Pat Riley writes on RAME: "The other Lisa is Lisa K. Loring, the "K" standing for Kamela, who took her stage name from the Addams family actress not knowing what problems this would cause later. She started as a dancer for the Mitchell brothers at the O'Farrel theatre in SF and did 15 porno movies from 1977 to 1980. She is currently married to a sound technician and lives near SF.

"BTW, the clarification to this is one of the success stories of the internet. I posted a request based on reading about Lisa in the Mitchell brothers biography and for a while there was nothing but then I got an E-mail from the aforementioned sound technician clarifying the matter."
