    It had excellent writing and direction but what really made the show a success was The Honeymooners Cast.
    Sadly, many members of The Honeymooners Cast are no longer with us. These cast members gave us some of the most popular and funniest characters that we’ve ever seen on American television.
    It also served as an inspiration for many romantic comedy sitcoms and films that we’ve seen since then. It became a defining aspect of American culture!
    Let’s look back at the members of The Honeymooners Cast who have left us and their incredible lives.
    Art Carney played Ed Norton on the show. He was a popular actor and comedian who had an incredible career in cinema along with his work on television. He died in 2003 at the age of 85.
    Pert Kelton was the first actress to play Alice Kramden in the show and also had a career in film. She passed away in 1968 at the age of 61. She was replaced by Audrey Meadows who also continued acting in popular TV shows after The Honeymooners ended. She also had a successful career in banking before her death in 1996 at the age of 73.
    And, of course, the star of The Honeymooners was legendary comedian Jackie Gleason who played Ralph Kramden. Jackie Gleason died in 1987 at the age of 71 - leaving behind a legacy of TV appearances, films, stage performances, and even music!
    Let’s take a trip down memory lane to look back at The Honeymooners cast members who have left us. We’ll also catch up with actress Joyce Randolph - the only surviving member of the main cast.

My family and I used to watch this in the late 1960's and early 1970's on our small 20"( I think) Black & White TV. 0f course color didn't matter because I was taped in B&W. Great family times when both mom, dad and 4 brothers and a sister were alive to watch it. I was the baby so I have lost a lot. However that was 1 show that was entertaining to watch. We knew at the end Ralph would have to apologize for something he did wrong

    Jackie Gleason and Dean Martin had something in common: a photographic memory. Gleason’s memory was so good that he not only memorized his own lines, but those of his cast mates. Both could read their scripts once then had the lines committed to memory.

    • @ilsaramos379
      @ilsaramos379 Před rokem +1

      He never liked to rehearse. They showed him cue cards. When he repeats his lines, or staggers, that's when he forgot his lines. Repeated lines gave the crew time to write the lines, show him, then he would say it. Sometimes he'd make them up.

    I remember when Art C. did a Christmas special where he had this wish and it was granted where he could give gifts from his 'magical bag' even though that time was brief and even though the 'bag's magic' was gone the true sprite of Christmas or how ever one wants to celebrate a 'holiday(s)' the meaning of love and careing stays the same.

    I love the Honeymooners! In the 60's my grandmother & her daughter Daisy bought a house in Peekskill. My uncle Raul Sr. retiring from the military, he and his family went to live with them. A neighbor came, introduced himself. They became friends. I was about 9. Pete invited Raul Sr. to go with him to visit a friend, have a few beers, that he would like him. Raul Sr. went. Approaching the house, Raul Sr. asked Pete where was he taking him? Pete stated he wanted him to meet his friend, that he'll love his personality who has a sense of humor. Arriving to the house, Raul Sr. found the house to look like a flying saucer. When the man opened the door, it was Jackie Gleason! Raul Sr. called his wife to tell her he was having a few beers with Jackie Gleason & Pete. So, he'd be coming back late. Raul's wife swore he was clowning around & drunk. When she told to my aunt Daisy, Daisy felt it was a possibility because Jackie had a house near by. Raul Sr. returned later & described the house, how friendly & nice Jackie was. How they got along. How the house was big.
    My mother had told me yrs. later while working in Flower 5th Avenue Hospital her boss gave her papers of a deceased patient. A relative was coming for his belongings, to take him to the room and have him sign papers. When the man came, she was surprised, it was Art Carney. His brother had passed away. Yrs. later when l was working in the hospital l checked the file because Mom & Raul Sr. had a tendency of making up stories. When l checked the files l saw it was true. Art Carney did loose his brother. After Jackie passed l took Mom to the tribute. She told me not to ask Art Carney to do the Huckle Buck because he had told her he had issue with his hip. Months passed & l read Art was wounded in the war & a bomb exploded near him. He became deaf in one ear and a part of the shell from the explosion got too near to his spine. Doctors were only able to remove so much, to prevent him from becoming paralyzed. Someone asked him to demonstrate at jackie's tribute, how do you play golf? Art demonstrated right to the script. Everyone got a kick out of it!
    Just before Audrey Meadows passed, l met her at Sam Goodies. I went with a Honeymooners Tee Shirt l had bought at Jackie's tribute. Mom had bought me a Raccoon Hat! Women were thanking Audrey for sticking up for women! When l approached Audrey, she looked up, saw what l had on, plus the hat. She said, " What the?" I interrupted her and said, "hey we woman were bound to get into those Racoons!"She laughed! She autographed a photo l have of the four of them in the kitchen. I scolded her when l saw a cigarette lit.She said, "Ah! Don't worry about it." I answered, Forgive me but, we don't t want to loose you too! Plus l love you playing the Mother in Law on Two Close For Comfort, a typical Mother n law!" Then I gave her a kiss on the cheek. As l was leaving l called out to her, Miss Meadows, Miss Meadows!" She looked up over her glasses said, "yes!" As l was leaving, l said, "Pins and Needles, Needles and Pins, A Happy Woman ls A Woman who Grins!" I then waved the Racoons tale and said, "Woo, Woo! She laughed!!
    Finally, l wrote to Joyce Randolph and she wrote back. I sent her a copy of the photo l took of Audrey and me, so she'd have an idea who wrote to her. I have it on my wall. It's also on facebook. The photo came out nice. I asked a man behind me if he could take the photo twice, in case the first one doesn't come out right. Thank God l did. I have a copy on my wall. It looks beautiful. Audrey looks gorgeous! God Bless her!

      One is, "Young At Heart. I love when Ralph roller skates & falls. I recall when those skates had wooden wheels. They were hard! They were not soft at all! Not like today, they are so much softer. I forgot to mention a bus driver gave me the bus driver hat they made in jackie's memory. It has an emblim that says "Jackie Gleason Depot. I also have a shirt of the Honeymooners one which l wore when l met Audrey, another with Norton wearing his hat. People smile when l wear it. Some laugh. My mother gave it to me. Then l have another with all of them on, it's a black shirt. Then one in white with the golf scene.

Ralph and Norton find out that they are on the wrong train, which is traveling in the opposite direction from where they should be going!

Jane Kean, Sue Ann Langston, Shiela MacRea and even Elaine Stritch played the roll of Alice Kramdon or Trixie Norton......a number of other Actors had that role...45 Episodes with Jane Kean as Trixie and 46 Episodes with Shiela MacRae as Alice.....I always think of Shiela MacRae as Alice first, from watching when I was growing up
