Hi, got a few questions about the character of Cinderella as seen on Sesame Street for whoever can help by answering them. As posted by ssetta in another thread, there were two characters named Cinderella who appeared in two distinct News Flash reports filed by Reporter Kermit.

1 The first Cinderella appeared with Prince Charming at the ball before she left him and her glass lipper behind, which he broke afterwards.
2 The other Cinderella appeared when Kermit was interviewing the Fairy Godmother about her tricks to help Cinderella before the godmother kept confusing the clothes she had to make magically appear.
My question is, were both of these Cinderella characters completely distinct characters? Or were they the same character? Just asking to see whether it merits two distinct entries for my listings.
3 And also, wasn't there an episode from the late 1980's where Cinderella as portrayed by a human actress supposedly sprang to life out from Telly's storybook? If so, what was the name of the actress who portrayed this third Cinderella? Or was it just another Muppet Cinderella character distinctly different from the two mentioned above or was it identical to either of the two mentioned above?
Thanks for your help and have a good day.

They were not the same muppet in these 2 Kermit News sketches. Cinderella has been done on Sesame Street several times.

On that note, if you could, please post here a description of the different Cinderella characters that have appeared on Sesame Street. Oh, and if you know it, please post the name of the human actress who portrayed Cinderella in the SS episode mentioned above. Thanks for your help and have a good night.

Yes, I recall that episode/story. Where do you think I got Whammo the Magician for my Muppet Listings from? He was the substitute for the fairy godmother, and I guess I should include CinderTelly and CinderElmo once I watch that special too. But the main reason I started this thread was to get answers to the questions posed regarding the different Cinderella characters seen on Sesame Street.

1 If you can, please describe what the two Cinderella characters seen n two different News Flash reportages looked like.
2 If you know, please post the name of the actress who portrayed Cinderella after she lept to life from the pages of Telly's storybook in an episode from the late 1980's.
Thanks for your help and have a good night.
