The Vintage Signature of Joyce Randolph 1922-2022 "Trixie Norton"

Trixie, the strong willed wife of Ed Norton, upstairs girlfriend of Alice and friend of Ralph, Trix had a somewhat shady backstory involving a few risqué sketches in Vaudeville. Like Audrey Meadows, she did not originate her role. That was Elaine Stritch, once. Randolph only played Trixie from 1952-1957 - others played the character including Patricia Wilson, Jane Kean and Sue Ann Landon. Randolph was the longest surviving original Honeymooners cast member, having passed less than a year ago on January 13, 2024.

Randolph's vintage signature is even harder to secure than Gleason's! By a ratio of some 4 to 1 easily! I have just a handful to share. Like Meadows and Carney, she is very plentiful in later form.

As Randolph only acted in a single TV episode during the 1960's, there is very little to nothing available.

Well done, Eric.

Over the years, Ms. Randolph was kind enough to mail me three short letters.

I remember awhile back leaving her a message on her answering machine asking her about the signing habits of Mr. Gleason, Mr. Carney and Ms. Meadows and we ended up having a nice conservation on the phone.

I unfortunately don't have a photo of it handy, but later in her life she signed a card, as I requested, with her name and also with the full name of her character, Thelma "Trixie" Norton.
