Today, the beloved FRAN BRILL made a cameo appearance as a nurse on the episode where Baby Bear's sister is born at the hospital....She's near the start of the show.

She had quite a few lines. You can notice her cause she's got that Susan Sarandon-ish look to her, and she sounds deeper than Zoe and more like Little Bird.

For those of you whose PBS affiliates show SESAME on Sundays, they usually re-run the previous Friday's show, so you still may be able to see what she looks and sounds like.

Did her character have a name? If so, what was her character's name? Or did she just play a non-descript non-named human character? Please reply to the best of your knowledge so I can add this entry to my Muppets Listings. Thanks for your help and have a good day.

Her character was just a non-descript human nurse.

Guys,

She made a cameo last Season too.

She was called Bebe Beara and got Baby Bears 'Monster Party' invitation by accident.

Baby Bear got her mail for cheap drapes.


see ya

Not only did Fran Brill make a cameo, but so did Kevin Clash! He appears in the background, as a doctor, talking to Fran before Baby Bear enters Mama Bear's room. (For the Count: No, this character doesn't have a name either.)

Thanks guys for your contributions on this subject. Haven't seen the episode dealing with Baby Bear's Monster Party invitation though. However, I do remember the big to-do they made about Ms. Camp the mail lady at the end of Season 32, though I didn't see the whole episode for that one either. Who portrayed Ms. Camp? And is that her correct name? And should I just leave out Kevin Clash's doctor and Fran Brille's nurse from my listings?
Thanks for your help with my questions and have a good day.

Ms. Camp (who was actually from last season, #33) was played by Broadway star Kerry Butler. And no, I don't think you should include the doctor and nurse in your list since the characters were so vague (no name, so few lines, etc.).

Got it! Guys, Fran Brill's character in part 2 of the Season 34 finale does indeed have a name and will thusly be included in my next Muppet Listings update! And the drumroll starts.... the character's name is.... Nurse Rhyme! Makes sense judging from the hospital devoted to nursery rhyme and fairy tale characters who are previous Sesame Street characters themselves booked in the rooms which Gina searches to find M. Bear's room. This does however bring up a related question. To those of you who've seen this episode and have better eyesight than I... Kevin Clash supposedly made a cameo as a doctor in the background in this same episode. Does he immediately leave after the PA voice call for Dr. Goose to come and check up on Jack of Jack and Jill fame? Please reply ASAP cause I'm anxious to add this one if it merits adding to my listings. Thanks for your help and have a good day.
