Joyce Randolph has passed away at the age of 99.

The actress - who played Trixie Norton on the TV show The Honeymooners - died in her sleep in New York City on Saturday, her son told TMZ on Sunday.

The star was in hospice as she was suffering the effects of old age, it was added.

She played one of the main characters on the popular sitcom The Honeymooners, which aired from 1955 until 1956.

The show was centered around Jackie Gleason's rough NYC bus driver character Ralph Kramden who was always yelling at his wife Alice, played by Audrey Meadows.

Quite the looker!

Very sad indeed.

I wonder if there are even any actors alive who appeared on the honeymooners? Perhaps Measles Tommy or one of the children who may have appeared in an episode or two.

I even wonder how many people are alive who witnessed a filming of one of the classic 39 episodes.

I think Art Carney was on strike one season and Gleason wouldn’t do the Honeymooners without him.

[Beowulf9]

I always thought so.

I wonder if that is why Betty was the looker on the Flintstones, who obviously were inspired by the Honeymooners.

RIP Joyce Randolph ❤️

RIP...I loved that show.

[Night Hides Not]

Couldn’t be made today.

So did I.....

“To the moon, Alice!!!!”

[Steely Tom]

I remember seeing this in some magazine back in the early '70s.

[drwoof]

Indeed. Those smoldering eyes...

Didn’t watch any filming but I’m sure I watched every episode. (when the TV was working)

One thing I noticed in The Honeymooners was Trixie's apartment compared to the Alice's apartment:

Trixie's looked modern, well-kept, painted, curtains, etc. Alice's was drab and sparse.

Quite the looker!

Even into old age ...
RIP ...

you mean you watched them live on TV back in the 1950’s?

Alice to Ralph, “I am the only girl in town with an atomic kitchen. This place looks like Yucca Flats after the blast!”.

Ralph Kramden who was always yelling at his wife Alice

That's a little unfair.

The show often (always?) ended with Ralph saying: BABY, YOU'RE THE GREATEST.

On the same subject, I was watching one of those true crime shows last night and over a twenty one year period between a trial and the re trial ALL 21 witnesses had died.. 1960 to 1981.

I actually do not recall watching them during their initial run, but I watched many episodes in reruns. There were many half-hour comedy shows in early TV.

Many of those early programs were filmed in front of live audiences. They usually would have 2 session per episode and select the better one for TV broadcasting.

The Honeymooners started as a segment on The Jackie Gleason Show. It started as a short skit/segment and expanded due to its popularity.

We got our first TV (b/w) in 1956.

“The Honeymooners” is one of my all-time favorite TV shows. A classic. That, and “Amos ‘n’ Andy.” Tim Moore — who played The Kingfish — was brilliant: I doubt anyone could have played The Kingfish better than Tim Moore (the guy was comedic genius).
