From LACMA 2022.
It’s no simple matter to make the magnificently sexy Ms. Sweeney look silly, but some fashion designer was up to the challenge. I know where that costume came from – Big Bird accidentally washed his costume with his red underwear.
Here’s a vaguely related item for trivia fans: Caroll Spinney was the last original cast member to leave Sesame Street. He played Big Bird for 49 years, and was still wearing the bird suit at age 83.
Spinney has now passed away, but some of the original cast members are still with us. Bob McGrath (Bob) is 90. Loretta Long (Susan) is 84. Frank Oz (Grover, Cookie Monster, Bert, others) is a mere stripling at 78.
