Oh yea I remember her now. I loved the crap out of Sesame Street. All other kids shows are fail in comparison
 
Nope, this lady doesn't count. It has to be someone prominent that makes news headlines. Chris Henry was #1, then Brittany Murphey #2. #3 is still forthcoming.
 
Being a child of 70s, I remember Olivia fondly. I shall miss her, even though the I havent watched the show since 1977. I still have a place in my heart for Sesame Street.

Heres and old favorite I saw on youtube the other day that I had playing in my head for awhile, telephone rock.
 
I remember her well on Sesame Street when I was younger. I also remember Gordon and my fellow Bronx native Maria fondly as well. I see they are still on the show. rip Olivia
