Joyce Randolph, a respected stage and television actress, best known for her role as Trixie Norton in the classic 1950’s sitcom “The Honeymooners,” passed away on Saturday, leaving a legacy in the world of entertainment.

Randolph captured hearts as the sharp-witted Trixie, a character that beautifully complemented her small but spirited cast. Indeed, her character stood as a counterbalance in a show dominated by her husband Ed Norton, played by Art Carney, and the Kramdens, played by Jackie Gleason and Audrey Meadows.

Randolph was the last surviving member of the main quartet that made “The Honeymooners” a Saturday night sensation. Diverging from the era’s standard housewife role, Trixie was an emblem of New York sass and cynicism, adding exemplary depth to the comedy.

Randolph’s passing marks an end of an era for the beloved sitcom, one that continues to touch many through its depiction of mid-20th-century American family life. Her son, Randolph Charles, confirmed the news of her death in a statement.

Beyond the sitcom, Joyce Randolph was a multi-talented actress shining on both Broadway stages and television screens. Her charisma, wit, and impeccable comic timing will continue to inspire future generations in the world of entertainment.
