Biography[]

The Original Addams Family Series[]

Melancholia thinks that her fiancé Fred had left her to join the Foreign Legion since he also took back his ring and sold his farm. This is not her first tragedy; she got as far as the altar with Elmer, but he ran off to South America. Morticia introduces her to Charles P. Harvey (whom she calls "Ralph"), an attorney who works with James Ferguson. Morticia then gives Melancholia a total makeover that makes her look like Morticia. Gomez and Morticia invite Mr. Harvey over. Though Mr. Harvey is not attracted to Melancholia, Melancholia is attracted to him. Fred arrives in time to catch her kissing him and get angry over it. It turns out that Fred joined the American Legion and switched the ring for a better one. Fred punches Mr. Harvey and departs with Melancholia.
