The reason Addams Family Value recast Grandmama.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Although Grandmama was featured in 1991's The Addams Family, the iconic member of the titular brood was recast for the 1993 sequel, Addams Family Values. The first film sees Judith Malina playing the role of Grandmama Addams, an elder witch who is often well-intentioned but foolish.
Despite Malina's top-notch performance as Grandmama, director Barry Sonnenfeld recast the role ahead of what turned out to be one of the best movie sequels ever made. More well-received than its predecessor, Addams Family Values sees Oscar-nominated comedic great Carol Kane stepping into the role of the "disrespectful old hag.
However, not all accounts of Grandmama's recasting for Addams Family Values paint the decision as amicable. Reportedly, Malina wasn't even asked back for the sequel . A German-born daughter of Jewish and Polish parents who were unafraid of taking political stands against antisemitism, Malina learned the importance of using one's voice — and art — at a young age.
How Carol Kane Made The Role Of Grandmama More Memorable One of the best secrets behind the Addams Family movies is that Carol Kane was cast as Grandmama without even having to audition for the part. After a couple of casual conversations with the film series' director, Barry Sonnenfeld, Kane was brought on board.
While replacing an actor in a beloved franchise is always a gamble, Kane's definitive performance as Grandmama in the Addams Family sequel proves the recast was a smart move. Where Malina brings a subdued energy to the witchy role, Kane leans into the over-the-top, cackling hag theatrics of it all. Replete with a more vibrant physicality, Kane's version of Grandmama is endlessly expressive, making the actor a truly remarkable addition to the cast of Addams Family Values.
