Caroll Spinney is Big Bird
From what I gather, Mr. Spinney has spent nearly 40 years with his right arm in the air, operating the mouth and providing a tender voice for everybody’s favorite 6-year-old bird with gigantism.
Last night, I watched this fascinating A&E Classroom on the life and times of Sesame Street. Highly recommended, for an infusion of preliterate, pre-ironic nostalgia.
