The Addamses lived in a Victorian Mansion at 0001 Cemetery Lane.
"Uncle Fester" made up with "Thing" with a nude baby picture of himself saying, "Gee, I was a Beautiful Baby."
Viewers may laugh given Fester wasn't anything to write home about, but "Jackie Coogan" was said to have been an exceptionally handsome boy. His talent acting in Vaudeville and youth, handsome looks earned him over $4,000,000. Charlie Chaplin discovered him - of which only $140,000 he ever received. His mother and step father spent it all on themselves.
