Lisa Loring's Spouses: The Four Men 'Wednesday Addams' Married
Lisa Loring's spouse list includes some well-known names in Hollywood and an adult film star she met on set while working as a make-up artist. She went on to become a mother to two girls who were there for her until the very end last Saturday.
Lisa broke into television as a toddler. She began modeling at the tender age of three and went on to star in the iconic comedy, "The Addams Family," before television had color. Her life moved quickly when she was younger, and she married for the first time as a teenager.
She married four men in her time, trying to find true love. The actress underwent a few divorces and welcomed two children in the process. Although her daughters come from different fathers, they both got to see their mother off when she died on January 28, 2023.
Lisa Loring's First Daughter Was Born in Her First Marriage with Farrell Foumberg
Lisa was married to her childhood sweetheart Farrell Foumberg in 1973. Her marriage with Farrell ended in 1974, leading to a seven-year break before her second marriage. All was well until her 34-year-old mother, Judith, lost her life to the health-deteriorating effects of alcohol addiction. This put her out of the acting scene for a while.
Her break from acting after her mother's death was cut short by a starring role in "Halloween with the New Addams Family, " released in 1977. Following the success of her performance in the movie, she was cast in "Fantasy Island," alongside 66-year-old actress Maureen McCormick and "Barnaby Jones."
On Saturday, Lisa suffered a fatal stroke in the presence of her daughters, who held her hands during her final moments. The announcement of her death was orchestrated by the only child she had with Farrell, Vanessa Foumberg, through a post on social media on Saturday.

Butch Patrick shared a post on Facebook in Lisa's remembrance. He mentioned their close working relationship and her being visibly unwell toward the end of her life. "We were very close and worked together often. I know she was very weak. I was in her company just a few weeks ago," Butch remembered.
Lisa's friend Laurie Jacobson also revealed the news on social media and specified that the stroke was caused by smoking and high blood pressure. After suffering on life support for three days, with great difficulty, her family decided to turn it off to end her suffering.

Lisa Loring's Second Marriage with Doug Stevenson Lasted Only Two Years
In 1981, Lisa got married for the second time. She exchanged vows with now-deceased actor Douglas Stevenson. The actor is widely recognized for acting as Young Kingsley in the 1981 film "The Prowler." He is also known for playing Drake in "Breaker! Breaker!" — a 1977 movie starring the now-family-orientated movie star Chuck Norris.
Their relationship, which lasted for two years, facilitated the birth of Lisa's second child, Marianne Stevenson. Although they divorced in 1983, Marianne was only delivered a year later, in 1984. At the time of his death, Douglas was 56 years old, with a career lasting over three decades.
Their only child pursued a career in Hollywood, making acting appearances in "More Exciting," released the year her father died, and "The Works," released in 2005. She has not been entirely active but follows in the footsteps of her parents, who are now both deceased.

Her Third Marriage with Jerry Butler Ended Up in a Divorce Too
Lisa was two-for-two in terms of children in her first two marriages; however, on August 19, 1987, she began her first childless marriage. She married Jerry Butler that summer, and they spent the following five years together before divorcing in 1992.
After his relationship with Lisa ended, Jerry married an unknown woman with whom he shares a child. The exact date of his second wedding and whether their relationship ended are still being determined. However, his life ended on January 27, 2018, after a tough battle with pancreatic cancer.
Lisa's third husband started as an actor on off-broadway shows before picking a different route as an adult film star. He made adult films for 12 years, recording over 500 movies. He returned to the big screen in 1985 when he was cast in "Evil of the Night" and the 1997 thriller "Deranged."

Jerry was born Paul David Siederman on May 13, 1959, in Brooklyn. While establishing himself in the adult film industry, he met Lisa while working on the adult movie "Traci's Big Truck." Lisa worked as a make-up artist on the film set. Their relationship was a hot topic as Lisa was always unhappy with the adult film star's job description.
They discussed Jerry's career's effect on their marriage on the talk shows "Sally Jesse Raphael Show" and "Geraldo." With Lisa developing a stronger dislike for his job, the adult film star promised not to continue in that field. Still, the promise was not fulfilled, causing their relationship to unravel.

Her Last Marriage with Graham Rich Lasted Longer than All the Others
In 2003, Lisa got married to her fourth husband, Graham Rich. Their relationship outlasted all of her previous marriages, lasting until 2014, 11 years after they exchanged their vows. The divorce was initiated on the actress's reasoning of irreconcilable differences, admitting there was no hope for settling their issues.
Her divorce from Graham brought attention to the pattern of the actress always ending her marriages based on irreconcilable differences. She asked the courts to dismiss her husband's request for spousal support. At the time of their divorce, Lisa was 50 years old and a former wife of four men.
Although her union with Graham was the longest-lasting, it also counted as her second marriage without kids. Their divorce was initiated in 2008. However, the divorce documents stated they were separated from 2008 until they officially parted ways.
