Joyce Randolph, Last Surviving Cast Member of ‘The Honeymooners,’ Dead at 99

Joyce Randolph, who played Trixie Norton on 'The Honeymooners,' has died at 99. She was the last surviving cast member.

Together as the Nortons, they were the upstairs neighbors and de facto best friends to loudmouthed bus driver Ralph Kramden and his long-suffering wife Alice, famously played by The Honeymooners creator Jackie Gleason and Audrey Meadows. While Alice gave as good as she got from Gleason’s blustering, threatening Ralph, Trixie often just rolled her eyes at Ed’s well-intentioned foibles — like when he purchased her an orange-juice squeezer in the shape of Napoleon as a Christmas gift. Randolph’s association with The Honeymooners left her forever identified as Trixie Norton and she all but gave up acting after the series ended, declining to participate in a revival of the sketch on The Jackie Gleason Show in 1966 (Meadows passed too).
