She was a Republican and her hubby, Steve Allen, was a Dem.
RIP

Always found it interesting that Jayne had a sort of haughty, superior demeanor, while Audrey seemed very down to earth, even when she wasn’t playing Alice Kramden. Nevertheless, a couple of talented sisters. RIP to them both.

I think her Sister played Alice opposite Jackie Gleason. She never made it to the moon as far as I know.

Never liked Steve Allen anyway. Struck me as a smarmy, pompous ass.
Traits not uncommon to celebrity libs.

Staunch Republicans live longer than their moody, unhappy, perpetually-victimized lefty counterparts.
That's because of all that good ole GOP clean livin', LOL.
God bless you, Jayne. You provided many funny and happy moments in my life.

I thought Audrey was more appealing.
Kind of a Ginger/Mary Ann thing I guess.

I also thought Audrey was slightly prettier. They did look a lot alike.

I once hired their kid to build a house for me...it went well. He was part of a cultist foundation in Seattle, I think he called himself “Love Israel” at that point. Life is funny.

I never thought she was haughty at all. I thought she was a very funny, intelligent, and outgoing person.

I agree. I thought she was very interesting on talk shows ... very entertaining. I always liked her. Sad to learn that she is now gone.
To: EveningStar
I remember her in The Meeting of the Minds. That was a great show and spurred my interest in history at an impressionable age. RIP Miss Meadows.

Steve Allen was a liberal back in the days when liberals were actually liberal and actually sane.
