Catherine Zeta-Jones Didn’t Want To Play a Halloween Costume Version of Morticia

Catherine Zeta-Jones takes on the iconic role of Morticia Adams in Netflix series Wednesday, and was adamant she would do it justice.
Wednesday makes its debut on Netflix this week, and as well as Jenna Ortega’s new iteration of the title character, the series will also see Catherine Zeta-Jones stepping into the black dress of Morticia. When it comes to playing the matriarch of the Addams Family, Zeta-Jones wanted to make sure that she brought more to her performance than just being a caricature of previous iterations.
Morticia Addams is the mother of Wednesday, and has been most notably portrayed on screen by Anjelica Huston in The Addams Family and Addams Family Values. While they are certainly some big heels to fill, Zeta-Jones certainly has the credentials to make the character her own. She recently explained to TV Times that she wanted to approach the character a little differently. She said:
“Morticia is such an iconic female figure, but I put my own twist on her. I didn’t want to play her as a Halloween-costumed caricature; I wanted to find the root of her, in that she’s a mother-of-two and extremely in love with her husband. We didn’t want to put Morticia in trousers just to contemporize her; we wanted to do the iconic look. So when I first put on the dress, the hair and make-up, I was just so in it that I could have been Morticia at a petrol station!”
