In this bonus episode for our Spreaker supporters, we tell the story of Hollywood star Ted Cassidy, from Philippi, West Virginia.

Known best as "Lurch" on the Addams Family TV show, he also had supporting roles in most of the other television programs in the 1960s and 1970s.  Today we tell the story of a man who went from the heart of West Virginia to Hollywood, another one of the Stories of Appalachia.

Enjoy!
