Jaimoe Posted November 15, 2003 Report Share Posted November 15, 2003 I love Art Carney. He was just as funny as the " Greatest " Jackie Gleason, and was a fine movie actor too. The ironoic thing is that I bought the new Honeymooners 1956-57 DVD set on the same day Art passed. R.I.P. Art and thanks for the laughs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Freak Posted November 15, 2003 Report Share Posted November 15, 2003 I remember when I was in university I was watching TV late one night and it was a canadian movie with Art Carney. A couple minutes later there is my friend Heather from down the hall(dorm) she was the lead character. That was the first time I ever saw a friend in a movie, and the first time I saw Art Carney outside of the Honeymooners. Heather was soooo embarassed when I told her I saw the movie( I imagine mostly because she played a messed up child prostitute) but she did say it was an honour working with Art Carney and that he was a really cool guy.

Jaimoe Posted November 15, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2003 Art was also a wounded WWII vet - he was hit by shrapnel (leaving him with a slight limp) at Omaha Beach during the Normandy landing. He also won an Oscar for his performance in the 1974 Paul Mazursky movie " Harry & Tonto ". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of those movies that makes me cry (granted, that is a lot of movies). He definitely deserved the Oscar. RnB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
