Known for her role as Trixie Norton in the 1955 series "The Honeymooners," Randolph showed many television watchers her beauty and talent for acting in nearly 40 episodes of the show. Her character was the wife of Ed Norton (Art Carney) and a neighbor of Ralph Kramden. Interestingly, she was chosen for the role and called "that serious actress" without the creator even knowing her name.

The show was a comical success, so much so that it had a reboot and projects involving the show's characters. Randolph even resumed her role as Trixie on "The Jackie Gleason Show." However, among all the original cast members, TMZ, who broke the news of her death, also reported that Randolph had been the last living one left.
