Art Carney's Birth Card: The 3 of Diamonds
The Success Communicator
A birth card is a calendar coordinate for the month and day. It is not fortune-telling and does not predict an Academy Award.
In the record
Arthur William Matthew Carney (November 4, 1918 – November 9, 2003) was an American actor and comedian. The birth-card coordinate for November 4 is the 3 of Diamonds — a calendar position, not a forecast of the 1975 Best Actor — Harry and Tonto win.

The 3 of Diamonds coordinate
Art Carney's birthday maps to the 3 of Diamonds (The Success Communicator). Card Blueprints treats that as a 365-day coordinate: solar value = 55 − (2 × month + day), and the year is unused. It is not a prediction about an Academy Award and not a verdict on Art Carney. The card's own language, quoted as system copy rather than biography: You keep more than one path alive without letting any of them stay imaginary.
Art Carney in the public record
A recipient of an Academy Award, a Golden Globe Award, and six Primetime Emmy Awards, he was best known for his role as Ed Norton on the sitcom The Honeymooners (1955–1956).

Carney, the youngest of six sons (his brothers were Jack, Ned, Robert, Fred, and Phil), was born in Mount Vernon, New York, the son of Helen (née Farrell) and Edward Michael Carney, a newspaperman and publicist. His family was Irish American and Catholic. He attended A.B. Davis High School. Carney was drafted into the United States Army in 1943 as an infantryman and machine gun crewman during World War II. During the Battle of Normandy serving in the 28th Infantry Division, he was wounded in the leg by shrapnel and walked with a limp for the rest of his life.
