Shall we say a fond "Farewell" to the end of an era with the passing of "The Honeymooners" Trixie?

Jane Kean played Trixie in the “revival” Honeymooners. The REAL Trixie was Joyce Randolph, who I think is still with us.

So let’s wish Ms. Kean a fond farewell, although she may just be in “revival” heaven….

R.I.P to the wonderful lady who made the World laugh a lot more than it would have.

@OneBadApple Yes, Miss Randolph is 89-years-old and still very much with us.

Both Audrey Meadows and Joyce Randolph were beautiful women, and they had to downplay their looks for Alice and Trixie. They both frumped-up in dowdy, hausfrau dresses and hairstyles, so that they’d look less glamorous and more blue-collar.

I have the 39-episode Honeymooners DVD collection. I think I’ll go watch it right now. I love the one where Alice leaves to live with her mother because Ralph got mad and threw the mother out, then makes a recording to try to get Alice back….

“Hello, Bunny ?.......This is Ollll’ Buttercup…..”

“You were LISTENIN’, Norton…!!!”

Okay, @OneBadApple. See ya in a day or two! :)

For me growing up in the ‘50s, Ms. Randolph was Ed Norton’s pretty, good-natured wife. But even she wasn’t the original Trixi. That honor goes to Elaine Stritch.

Right you are, @Pachyderm_In_The_Room!

” She was the first and original Trixie Norton in the pilot for Honeymooners sketch with Jackie Gleason, Art Carney and Pert Kelton. The character was originally a burlesque dancer, but the role was rewritten and recast with Joyce Randolph playing the character as an ordinary housewife.” from Wiki.

I only know the original series. And I just totally love it. I know Joyce Randolph as Trixie as well. Anyone who was part of The Honeymooners empire at all is good with me though.
Safe paths Jane.
