“It definitely was a bit nerve-wracking at first. You don’t want to feel like you’re doing the knockoff version of her performance right in front of her. You want to make it clear that your character is your own.”Wednesday cast: Meet Netflix’s Addams Family for 2022
She continued: “I think we approached it in a really cool manner because we never spoke about it. We just spoke about each other and got to know each other and kind of ignored it. That was a great relief and I think it was a smart decision.”Wednesday cast: Meet Netflix’s Addams Family for 2022
