Oh for the love of...
I watched Sesame Street when I was a kid, but it's been so long, I can't really place her. Still, it's a sad loss with the holidays coming and double so given (say it with me now) what a God-awful year 2009 has been.

harry aka kevin peter hall was in misfits of science and also played the predator. All true, but as I recall, and this is my big memory, he played a giant alien that appeared during the Closing Ceremonies of the Los Angeles Olympics. That was the one I was thinking of anyway.

Olivia, known in real life as Alaina Reed Hall, passed away on the 17th but it's just now being reported online. I heard about it the day she passed. So many people from my childhood have been passing lately. It's insane. Even though I'll remember best from Sesame Street. She made me laugh the hardest on 227.
