The “biggest thing on television” was born and raised in Brooklyn and overcame a great deal in his life - the early death of his older brother, abandoned by his Father and partly responsible (due to a tragic mistake) for the death of his Mother, Jackie had a difficult life. Determined to succeed, he appeared in cheap clubs, films and early television before making the series for which he is forever known - “The Honeymooners”. Besides Jackie, attendees will meet his talented cast members, learn the history of the show, see some rare behind the scenes photographs and, following the presentation, see a “Lost Honeymooners” episodes - either “The Hot Dog Stand” or “The Adoption”. This presentation provides many laughs and even a few tears (in “The Adoption”) as you will see Ralph Kramden have some serious and heart wrenching moments. This presentation also includes a book, autograph and rare memorabilia display.
