Grandma Addams

Grandma Addams is the mother of Gomez and Fester. Grandma showed up at the Addams family mansion in Central Park twelve years ago and hasn’t left since. She lives in the attic where she drinks, smokes marijuana, and maintains her stock of potions. She is quick-witted, sarcastic, and funny. She is also caring and a good listener, willing to listen and offer her advice to any member of the family. The actress who plays Grandma must have strong comic sensibilities. She need not be an older actress, as the age of the character is usually heightened with makeup, costume, and wigs to comedic effect.
