People: Jun. 24, 1985
Ralph and Ed. Kramden and Norton. The names are permanently linked together and set in that perfectly drab, 1950s New York City apartment occupied by The Honeymooners. Jackie Gleason, 69, and Art Carney, 66, reprised their famous roles once for a TV special seven years ago, but they have not otherwise worked together. Explains Gleason: "The only way Art and I could do something, to play characters who were not the Honeymooners, was if we did real people." This month they got their chance. They are filming a TV movie about two famed undercover Prohibition agents, Izzy Einstein and Moe Smith. The two ham it up in the disguises used by the flamboyant peace officers, though no one pretends the parts will supplant their earlier incarnations. Ralph, by the way, plays Izzy, and Ed plays Moe.
