JOYCE RANDOLPH
Photocopied newspaper article from the September 24, 1987 issue of the "New York Post".
Photocopied Newspaper Article inscribed and signed: "For Sam Porter from Joyce Randolph, Sept. 1992". Randolph has also written: "Trixie" above her image on a photograph of The Honeymooners cast in the article. Randolph and co-star Art Carney are also pictured at left. The article, from the September 24, 1987 issue of the "New York Post", is titled: "How Sweet It Is". The article relates to a seminar given at the Museum of Broadcasting, at which Randolph and Carney answered questions about The  Honeymooners and scriptwriter Leonard Stern and Jackie Gleason's widow, Marilyn Taylor Gleason (a former June Taylor dancer who was Gleason's third wife from December 16, 1975 until his death on June 24, 1987), also spoke. Actress Joyce Randolph (1925-2024) is the only surviving member of the original cast of The Honeymooners (1955-1956). The popular series, which was introduced as a sketch on The Jackie Gleason Show (1952-1957, on which Randolph was a regular performer), starred Gleason (1916-1987) as Ralph Kramden, the working man's working man and bus driver extraordinaire. Audrey Meadows (1926-1996) played his wife, Alice, the perfect foil for his sarcastic wit. Art Carney (1918-2003) played sewer worker Ed Norton, winning three Emmys for the role. Randolph was his wife, Trixie Norton. The Nortons were friends and neighbors of the Kramdens. Randolph had performed on Broadway and in television plays of the 1950s before joining The Honeymooners. She was U.S.O. Woman of the Year (1993) for her work on behalf of that organization. Lightly creased at lower left corner. Mid-vertical fold. Usual black marks from photocopying. Fine condition..
