His most notable role was Lurch, the faithful butler on The Addams Family TV series. Cassidy died in 1979 from complications following open-heart surgery. His live-in girlfriend had his remains cremated, then buried in the backyard of their Woodlawn Hills home. She did not have the remains moved when she relocated. Somewhere in Woodlawn Hills, California, an unknowing house-buyer has a celebrity in their backyard! Rare glossy 5 x 7 photo, signed and inscribed in black ink 'To B. B. Ted Cassidy 'Lurch'.' In fine condition. RRAuction COA.
