Fran Brill also played Lily Marvin in one of my favorite movies, "What About Bob?"

I know! With Fran Brill starring and Frank Oz directing, it was a small Muppet reunion.

Cookie and Prairie together again.

Really? That must have been before Sesame Street then. Savion has become pretty successful in the last 10-15 years. The man is an amazing tapper.

I know this is a stretch, since neither of these actors have been on Sesame Street in the past zillion years, but who could forget the late Raul Julia (Raphael) who has been in many films---one of his last roles as Gomez Addams in the Addams Family movies from the 90s.......
And Charlotte Rae (Molly the Mail Lady) who is best known for her role as Mrs. Edna Garrett on the 80s TV shows "The Facts of Life" and "Diff'rent Strokes."

This must have been before Sesame Street, because aren't they not allowed to do commercials?

Olivia played a starring role on "227."

And one of the child actors was the youngest daughter on "The Cosby Show."
