A puppeteer who breathed life into the epic yet contrasting duo of ‘Oscar the Grouch’ and ‘Big Bird’ on the television series Sesame Street, Caroll Spinney entertained children as well as adults for over four decades. A shy boy who lived a life of his dreams, Caroll found his happiness in puppets at a very early age. Encouraged by his parents, he honed his skills and performed for his community all the time while growing up. There was an inherent charisma in Caroll that made his larger-than-life, half-a-century long stint as a giant yellow bird one of the greatest performances in the world of television. It is no surprise that he won multiple awards including a lifetime achievement Emmy for his amazing body of work. He had once described his journey as amazing as playing the original Disney character Mickey Mouse. Although his work was full of celebrating and making people happy, Caroll struggled with his physical and mental health. However, he was fortunate to have been surrounded by his loved ones as he breathed his last. His work was celebrated by his entire team as they wore a yellow feather to pay their tribute to the big-hearted Caroll Spinney who not only immortalized Big Bird, but also continues to spread wisdom and cheer through his characters.
