View Full Version : Is Joyce Randolph alive?
gregrob 11-12-2003, 07:53 PM I'm sorry to hear about Art Carney's death. He was a truly gifted comic actor. Carney made Ed Norton absolutely endearing. Now there's something I'm wondering about. When I read about Carney's passing in my local newspaper it claimed that he's the last honeymooner to die. It said Joyce Randolph died in 1998 but I can't find anything on the web about her death. IMDb makes no mention of a death date nor does any other source. Could the newspaper be wrong?
Tweety 11-12-2003, 11:08 PM That doesn't sound right... (about Joyce Randolph having passed away)...
I know that during the last couple of years, there have been some specials on TV talking about the Honeymooners, and both Art Carney and Joyce Randolph appeared on these shows... Jackie Gleason passed away in 1987 and Audrey Meadows passed away in 1996, but I'm pretty sure that Joyce Randolph is still alive. That is, I'm sure I've seen her talk about the Honeymooners more recently than 1998...
In fact, it seems to me that she (Randolph) and Art Carney appeared on a TV show together sometime during the last couple of years...
However, I should point out that, having read a number of stories on Carney's death today, I have not seen Joyce Randolph quoted in any of the stories I've seen... I did see a couple of quotes from Marilyn Gleason, Jackie's wife, but I've seen no current quotes from Randolph...seems like she'd be a natural person to talk to about Carney, but I've seen nothing from her...
One thing that I didn't realize about Art Carney...he actually took part in the D-Day Normandy Invasion on 6/6/44...amazing that he should pass away on Veterans Day...
I've never seen the movie for which Carney received an Oscar, but I did see him in "Going in Style" with George Burns and Lee Strassburg....great movie...Carney and Burns were both superb!
Try to see it if you get a chance...
Thank you, Art Carney, for your service to your country, and for being the greatest 2nd banana ever!!!

vze3t9q9 11-15-2003, 09:18 PM I saw Joyce on tv maybe 6 months to a year ago in a short snippet I think of tv land to talk about the ralph kramden statue that is in new york. But now I wonder is the second group of wives alive?

cocopugg 11-30-2003, 04:40 AM I had the honor of meeting Joyce Randolph at a recent autograph show (about a year ago). She looked great...God bless her, she was so sweet, sharing great Honeymooners stories with my wife and me.

I don't think that's right...
Brian Damage 02-18-2004, 09:18 PM She's not dead.

She's not dead. no, that can't be right, because I remember seeing her in a little spot on TV LAND talking about "The Honeymooners" in 2000 or 2001.

Those interviews may not be tv land interviews, they may have been aquired by tv land and had been done before 1998, i dont know why a website would say she died in 98 if she didnt.
Brian Damage 02-19-2004, 12:33 PM I have to investigate this because I don't remember ever hearing about her death.
Brian Damage 02-19-2004, 12:36 PM That info has to be bogus because according to imdb.com, she is still alive. As a matter of fact, she even had a cameo in a movie called Everything's Jake in 2000.
