She was the last surviving member of the original cast. 

Originally a recurring sketch on Gleason's live variety TV show, "The Honeymooners" aired on CBS as filmed productions beginning in 1955. 

While only 39 episodes were shot, the characters were brought back for Gleason's '60s variety show, making a run on American television screens until 1970 -- and, to this day, continuing in syndication.

In 1955, Randolph married to businessman Richard Lincoln Charles, who died in 1997 at the age of 74.
