Actress Sheila MacRae of 'Honeymooners' dies at 92

ENGLEWOOD, N.J. (AP) — Sheila MacRae, a veteran stage, film and TV performer best known for playing Alice Kramden in the 1960s re-creation of "The Honeymooners," has died. She was 92.

The actress died Thursday at the Lillian Booth Actors Home in Englewood, N.J., MacRae's granddaughter, Allison Mullavey, told The Associated Press on Friday.

"She had a great life, my mom, she really did. She was quite a broad," said her daughter, actress Heather MacRae. "Fascinating, almost like an Autie Mame character."

Shirley Jones, in a statement released by MacRae's family, called Sheila MacRae "a great lady" with extraordinary talent who "helped me to be a better mother."

This isn't the original show, but a re-creation. I would delete, but apparently not possible. I should've known, I recognized Audrey Meadows's name as soon as I saw it.

Ah well.

Shiela used to play Alice on The Jackie Gleason Show when it was based in Miami. Not as dynamic as Audrey Meadows but it is hard to match that chemistry
