Listen "Audrey Meadows"
Episode Synopsis
It was on this date 66 years ago that one of the most popular, most durable, and most iconic situation comedies in television history was born.
Taking place mostly in a tiny two room apartment in Brooklyn, The Honeymooners set new standards for television comedy.
Captained by the comic genius of Jackie Gleason, the show also featured the versatile Art Carney, Joyce Randolph, and, of course, as Ralph Kramden long-suffering wife Alice, Audrey Meadows.
A classically beautiful actress who purposely downplayed her looks for the role, Meadows also proved to be a formidable counterpoint to the Ralph Kramden character.
