<P> Played most famously by Joyce Randolph ; Ed 's wife and Alice 's best friend . She did not appear in every episode and had a less developed character , though she is shown to be somewhat bossy toward her husband . In one episode , she surprisingly is depicted as a pool hustler . On another episode , Ralph insults Trixie by making a reference to Minsky 's ( a famous New York City burlesque theater ; the original Trixie character was an ex-burlesque dancer ) . There are a few references to Trixie 's burlesque background in the lost episodes ( e.g. , Norton : `` Every night I 'd meet her backstage and hand her a rose ... It was her costume ! '' ) . Randolph played Trixie as an ordinary , rather prudish , housewife , complaining to her husband on one occasion when a `` fresh '' young store clerk called her `` sweetie pie . '' In a 1967 special , Trixie ( played by Jane Kean from 1966 -- 1970 and 1976 -- 1978 ) resentfully denied Ralph 's implications that she `` worked in burlesque '' to which he replied `` If the shoe fits , take it off . '' Trixie is the inspiration for Betty Rubble in The Flintstones . </P>
