Carney, Arthur William Matthew
▪ 2004
“Art” 
      American actor (b. Nov. 4, 1918, Mount Vernon, N.Y.—d. Nov. 9, 2003, Chester, Conn.), had a long and varied career in radio, television, theatre, and film, including an Academy Award-winning dramatic leading role in the movie Harry and Tonto (1974), but it was with one TV character that he would be most identified—sewer worker (or “underground sanitation expert”) Ed Norton, second banana to Jackie Gleason's Ralph Kramden, in The Honeymooners. From 1951 to 1957—including one season (1955–56) as a half-hour sitcom—and occasionally thereafter in the 1960s and '70s, the two characters and their wives were seen in sketches on various Gleason variety shows and in a few specials. Carney began his performing career doing impressions with the Horace Heidt Orchestra and later on radio. Drafted in 1944, he was wounded on D-Day and thereafter walked with a limp. Following his military service he returned to radio performing and then expanded into TV. In addition to his Honeymooners appearances, Carney had roles in dozens of drama series episodes and made-for-TV movies, and he also appeared on Broadway, where his roles included the original Felix Unger in The Odd Couple (1965). Notable among his films were The Late Show (1977) and Going in Style (1979). Carney won seven Emmy Awards—five for his performances as Norton—and a few weeks before his death, he was inducted into the Hall of Fame of the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences.
