CRAP !!
That was actress Pert Keaton !
Most people remember Pert Kelton as Ronnie Howard's and Shirley Jones'
mother in the movie 'The Music Man.' She did, however, originate the Alice
Kramden role when 'The Honeymooners' debuted as a skit on Gleason's variety
show. She could not continue with the role for two reasons: she became
suspect by the McCarthy Senate hearings and suffered a major heart attack.
