Debbie Jellinsky

""I don't wanna hurt anybody. I don't enjoy hurting anybody. I don't like guns or bombs or eletric chairs. But sometimes people just don't listen, so I had to use persuasions and slides.""

Debbie Jellinsky is the main antagonist of the 1993 sequel Addams Family Values.

She was portrayed by Joan Cusack.

She marries men out of money and not out of love. She marries Fester Addams only because she knows the Addams family are rich.

History
She had previously married and murdered two other men, one a senator and the other a surgeon.

She even considered herself as a kid as sensitive and delicate and justified the murder of her parents Sharon and Dave Jellinsky when she was ten by claiming they didn't understand her. The "proof" was that they bought her a Malibu Barbie instead of a Ballerina Barbie. This was the start of her descent into madness and greed as she began killing her husbands with the same motivation - that they didn't love her and didn't satisfy all her materialistic obsessions.

Debbie the Black Widow
Unlike the psychotic but openly dark Addamses she tends to hide her insanity even to herself by acting like a loving and tender person. She conned the whole family into hiring her under the impression that Debbie from a babysitting agency.

Fester immediately falls in love with Debbie when he first laid eyes on her.

Throughout the movie Debbie tries to kill Fester but fails. Towards the film's climax her true colors are shown. She doesn't really love Fester and thinks he's nothing but a freak.

She then holds the rest of the Addams family captive and ends up trying to electrocute them. Her final fate is being electrocuted herself when the Addam's new born baby Pubert connects the wires together.

She is honourably buried in their infamous cemetery where her tombstone reads "Wife and Psycho".
