When I was a kid, "Cousin Itt" was one of my favorites of all the goofy characters on The Addams Family.

Did his hand die, or his whole body?
shareYou seem to be confusing Cousin Itt with Thing.
Cousin Itt was the short person totally covered with hair while Thing was the hand that popped up to give Gomez and Morticia the mail. "Thank you, Thing."
My mistake. Never watched a full Adam's Family or the Munsters episode ... proud of that! ;-)
share"Thing" was often portrayed by the hand of Ted Cassidy, who played "Lurch."

Ted Cassidy also occasionally appeared in Westerns.
shareI met him a few years ago. He had a haircut.
shareI read about this somewhere. I remember Cousin It as one of my favorite characters of The Addams Family.
RIP, Felix. ๐น
