Joyce Randolph was a New York City icon
Born in Detroit in October 1924, Randolph got her start in acting when she landed a part with a touring theater company. By 1943, she had moved to New York City, intent on becoming a stage actor. She appeared in several stage productions before landing roles on TV. Randolph’s big break came on The Jackie Gleason Show, but she is best known for her part on The Honeymooners. After the series ended in 1956, Randolph appeared sporadically in TV and films but seemed focused on other endeavors.

Randolph, the last surviving member of the famous foursome that also included the stars Jackie Gleason (as Brooklyn bus driver Ralph Kramden) and Audrey Meadows (as Ralph’s level-headed wife, Alice), died Saturday at her home in New York, her son, Randy, told TMZ.

Randolph continued on CBS’ The Jackie Gleason Show and then on The Honeymooners when it was spun off in 1955-56 as a half-hour sitcom recorded in front of a live audience. That season is known for...

Jane Seymour and Anthony Andrews star in The Scarlet Pimpernel.
The 1982 British romantic adventure TV miniseries The Scarlet Pimpernel is based on the novel of the same name and Eldorado by Baroness Emmuska Orczy, set during the French Revolution.
In 1792 during the Reign of Terror, “The Scarlet Pimpernel” (Anthony Andrews, TV’s Brideshead Revisited) rescues French aristocrats while posing as the wealthy but foppish and seemingly empty-headed Sir Percival Blakeney. Percy marries the beautiful French actress Marguerite St. Just (Jane Seymour, Wedding Crashers), but her previous relationship with the evil Robespierre’s (Richard Morant) agent Paul Chauvelin (Ian McKellen, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey) may endanger the Pimpernel’s plans to save the young Dauphin (Richard Charles), eldest son of the former King of France.
Directed by Clive Donner, this version of The Scarlet Pimpernel was a fan favorite that premiered...
