From Gleason's 'Cavalcade of Stars' 11/2/1951 "The New Television Set"

'She portrayed Jackie Gleason’s upstairs neighbor Trixie Norton in an early “Honeymooners” TV sketch in the 1950s — she claimed the hard-living Gleason quickly replaced her with Joyce Randolph “because he said I was too much like him, just in drag.”'

Wow, two Trixies and an Alice in less than a year. MPI just released a documentary/special about her last month and it actually has a pretty high ranking on Amazon at the moment:

I never knew that. I knew she guest starred on The Cosby Show and I listened to her on the original cast recording of the musical Company. R.I.P. Elanine.
