Joyce Randolph, who played Trixie Norton on the television classic The Honeymooners, died Saturday at her home in New York City, according to multiple reports. She was in hospice care at the time of her death, which was from natural causes.
Randolph played the wife of sewer worker Ed Norton, played by Art Carney. The couple were the best friends and neighbors of Ralph Kramden (Jackie Gleason), and Alice Kramden (Audrey Meadows).
Randolph was tabbed for the role after Gleason saw her on a chewing gum commercial.
Trixie was married to a sewer worker, and I guess she considered herself a little better than the character of Ed Norton,” Randolph said in a 1999 interview with the Television Academy Foundation. “But she was just a housewife — she and Alice didn’t have jobs. They stayed home all the time, which was kind of amazing, but the husbands didn’t want them to work.

It's because, like all the best detectives, he's wearing a cool coat.
The coat has become the shorthand for the detective, not only telling you a lot about the copper wearing it but about the era they're wearing it in. So, in a not at all blatant rip-off of the BBC's A History of the World...
