Caroll Spinney, legendary puppeteer and creator of the characters Big Bird and Oscar the Grouch on Sesame Street, has died at the age of 85. I knew this day was coming, of course. But I still was not prepared.
A couple of years ago, I reviewed the wonderful documentary I Am Big Bird: The Caroll Spinney Story for Ebert.
Rest in peace. It’s been a life of service. Amazing artist.
