I remember her from the show alot, and I have to say, that this is really sad news.

By the way, this would maker the third actor, to pass away, from the show, the first being the actor who played Mr. Hooper, the second, the actor who played David, and she is now the third.

I remember that, she played the nasty landlord. Seemed every character she played was a jerk. Except Olivia, that is. Maybe she didn't want to be typecast. RIP, Miss Reed.

I loved her on both Sesame Street and 227.  Even that episode of Friends with George Clooney.  She was a great actress and will be missed :\'(

I know, that was awful.  And poor Big Bird when he finally figured out "Mr. Looper" wasn't coming back. :\'(

She had a great voice when she was singing with David in an 1977 episode.

That is true, in the Christmas Eve On Sesame Street special, Olivia was the first voice heard in the song "True Blue Miracle".
Maybe in the wake of this, PBS will run it again. Olivia & David don't figure into the plots at all, but Mr. Hooper does, and we can hear them sing.

Mr.Hooper (1983)


Karma for remembering.

Fess up.  Which of you late-Xer and Yer folks still remembers that episode?  I was too old for SS by many years, and it had no effect on me.  There was just something in my eye, damnit.  Allergies.  Or something like that.

And Big Bird thought that he was going to come back and his character who was portraying a 7 year old child at that age you don't know much about death.
