Art Carney, 85, Lauded 'Honeymooners' Actor, Dies. Art Carney, the Academy Award-winning comic actor who first gained fame as the guffawing, slightly off-center sewer worker Ed Norton in the early 1950's television series ''The Honeymooners,'' died on Sunday at a convalescent home in Chester, Conn. He was 85. Mr. Carney's talents were by no means confined to ''The Honeymooners.'' He won an Oscar for his performance in the 1974 film ''Harry and Tonto,'' in which he portrays a widower who is evicted from his New York City apartment and who embarks on a cross-country odyssey with his pet cat.
