• 3:43
  with a period of crisis. Carolyn Jones stated
• 3:46
  in an interview that at only 30 years old the
• 3:48
  producers considered her old and did not offer

  into the role of Morticia Adams, from the pale
• 4:32
  face and big angelic eyes, undoubtedly sensual
• 4:35
  despite the gloomy appearance. The same very

  tight dress that limited the movements contributed
• 4:40
  to express the sense of calm and elegance typical
• 4:43
  of the character. then the actress confessed
