Before her untimely death in January of 2024, American actress Joyce Randolph was worth $4 million. The role that brought Joyce Randolph the most fame was that of Trixie Norton on “The Honeymooners.” From October 1955 through September 1956, the show ran for one season, and she was in all 39 episodes.

Joyce Randolph Early Life and Early Career

Detroit, Michigan is the site of Joyce Randolph’s birth on October 21, 1924. She began her career in retail in Detroit at Saks Fifth Avenue after graduating from high school.

She got her start in the entertainment industry when she tried out for a touring company of a play named “Stage Door.” She uprooted her life in 1943, when she was just 19 years old, and headed straight for New York City to pursue acting.

She quickly found work in Broadway productions as well as in commercials and modest TV roles. Importantly, she was cast in an ad for Clorets, a chewing gum manufacturer. At the time, Jackie Gleason was both the star and producer of a series called “Cavalcade of Stars,” which would later become “The Jackie Gleason Show.”

The ad stood out to her. After seeing her perform in a sketch, Gleason cast her in another. Although she did play Trixie Norton, she was not the original actor to do so. First played by Elaine Stritch on the original “Cavalcade of Stars.”

Honeymooners Residuals

There were no residuals for Joyce from the first 39 episodes, even though the show is still popular with younger viewers. Only Audrey Meadows did not collect royalties from the cast. As her manager during negotiations, Meadows’ brother Edward was a lawyer, and he correctly included a provision in her original contract that said she would be compensated whenever the show was rebroadcast.

“The Honeymooners” episodes that had previously appeared on “Cavalcade of Stars” were released and syndicated, and Joyce Randolph did get royalties for these episodes.

After The Honeymooners

Joyce kept acting after The Honeymooners ended, mostly in stage productions and advertisements but also on TV. The 1991 episode “Hi Honey, I’m Home” had her reprising her role as Trixie.
