Love,
Alice
My Life as a Honeymooner
By Audrey Meadows
"This is a love letter (with lots of postage due) to my television
husband, Ralph Kramden (a.k.a. Jackie Gleason) in recollection of grand,
rare, nusty days and nights when "The Honeymooners" was America's
Saturday night ritual. For years, I shared a television life with a man and
enjoyed the fiction of being married to him before millions of people.
"He made us all run faster, reach higher, go further than we ever
dreamed we could. It was a great race, Jackie!" In 1952, a young actress
named Audrey Meadows took a chance in leaving a successful Broadway show to
join a fledgling television series headlined by a brash new comic named Jackie
Gleason. "The Honeymooners" would make television history and turn
its cast into household names. In this warm, engaging, frequently hilarious
memoir, Audrey Meadows recalls the years she spent playing Alice Kramden
opposite Jackie Gleason's Ralph. Love, Alice
is full of anecdotes of Gleason's inspired, sometimes alarming antics, as
well as personal stories of their fellow Honeymooners, Art Carney and Joyce
Randolph. It captures the essence of Gleason, the high spirits of New York in the
fifties, and all the excitement of the Golden Age of Television.
