Audrey Meadows was born on Feb. 8, 1924, in Wu Chang, China, to Episcopal missionaries. Her family moved to the U.S. when she was 5 so their children, sister Jayne and two younger brothers, could be educated here.

:birthday:

Audrey Meadows died of lung cancer Feb. 3, 1996. She had been a heavy cigarette smoker. Her sister, actress Jayne Meadows, was grief stricken and was at her bedside. Her TV “Honeymooners” co-stars Art Carney and Joyce Randolph were likewise saddened at the news of Audrey’s death. Her one-year bout with cancer had been hidden from Jayne as well as virtually everyone else.

:rip:

To me, Audrey was/is the ONLY Alice Kramden. She was one of a kind!! :D

She was the best choice to play against Jackie Gleason's strong personality. I loved how she put him in his place, her deadpan looks, and the way she talked!

She still had that sass on "Too Close for Comfort." She was a real favorite of mine. :)
