FILM 2343: ADDAMS FAMILY VALUES (1993)

TRIVIA: Adding more than just make-up to the character, Morticia Addams is always lit separately from everyone else in a scene. Her lighting always consists of one beam of light across her eyes that gradually fades outward to enhance her classic look.

Anjelica Huston's eyes were always illuminated in every scene. That was also done to Faye Dunaway in Mommie Dearest (1981).

A young Cynthia Nixon, most commonly known for her role as Miranda of Sex and the City(1998) appears briefly as an applicant for the nanny position early in the movie.

(At around fifty-six minutes) Nathan Lane has a cameo as a police officer. He portrayed Gomez Addams in the 2010 Broadway musical version of "The Addams Family".

While being brainwashed at camp, one of the films that Wednesday and Pugsley are made to watch is the musical Annie (1982), directed by Anjelica Huston's father, John Huston. That film also featured Tim Curry, who played Gomez Adams in Addams Family Reunion(1998).

Mercedes McNab (Amanda Buckman) appeared in The Addams Family (1991) as a Girl Scout.

When Fester announces his engagement, Morticia makes an overt reference to the ring worn by Debbie being the same one in which Fester's mother was buried. Debbie slyly whips out a shovel, adding a literal component to her character's "golddigger" status.

Director Barry Sonnenfeld makes a cameo as Mr. Glicker, (Joel's dad).

Final film of Raul Julia released while he was alive. Street Fighter (1994) was released two months posthumously.

Christopher Lloyd (Uncle Fester) and Carol Kane (Granny) were both in the 1978 TV series "Taxi" together. He played Jim Ignatowski and she played Simka Dahblitz-Gravas.
