In one episode she is seen wearing a black pointed hat. Morticia is described as a witch she is slim, with extremely pale skin and long flowing straight black hair. Grandmama is actually Morticia's mother, not Gomez's, while Fester is Gomez's brother, not Morticia's uncle. In the 1990s Addams Family films, familial relationships are changed for the characters of Grandmama and Fester. In the television series, her mother (Uncle Fester's sister) was named Hester Frump (played by Margaret Hamilton). Morticia's maiden name is 'Frump' and she has an older sister named Ophelia (also played by Carolyn Jones, in the original TV series). When the characters were adapted to the 1964 television series, Charles Addams' selection of her name was inspired by ' mortician'. In the cartoons, none of the family members had names. The character originated in the Charles Addams cartoons for The New Yorker magazine in the 1930s. Morticia is the wife of Gomez Addams and mother of Wednesday, Pugsley and Pubert Addams. She often appeared with the rest of the family, and was, along with Gomez and Grandmama, one of the few members to actually speak in the cartoons.

Morticia first appeared in Charles Addams' newspaper cartoons as the stern, aloof matriarch of the family.
