Married to Continental Airlines CEO Robert Six from 1961 until his death in 1986, Meadows (1926-1996) was born in Wu'chang, China. Her parents were missionaries and returned to the United States when Audrey was 6. Up until that time, she spoke nothing but Chinese. Her acting career began when she appeared on Broadway for a few months in Top Banana (1951). She then got a job on The Bob And Ray Show on NBC (1951). In 1952, Meadows was hired to play Alice Kramden on The Honeymooners, a comedy sketch which was shown during the second half hour of The Jackie Gleason Show on CBS (1952-1957). The Honeymooners was first seen on Dumont's Cavalcade of Stars (1950-1952) with Pert Kelton as Alice. Meadows was nominated for four Emmys for Best Supporting Actress in a Regular Series (1954-1957) for portraying Alice Kramden, winning the award in 1955. She later starred in a few films including That Touch Of Mink (1961) and Take Her, She's Mine (1962), later appearing as Ted Knight's mother in law in the sitcom Too Close For Comfort (1982-1983).
