In what way was she successful? A Listening IVFor over 30 years, Sesame Street has been the most popular TV program for young children in the United States. The characters on this show are mainly puppets, and probably the most loved of the puppets is a gigantic yellow bird called Big Bird. Caroll Spinney has played Big Bird all the years of Big Bird39。s existence on American television. Spinney39。s love of puppets and his own creativity led him to this career. When he was five years old, he saw his first puppet show. He loved the show and never forgot it. When he was seven he bought a used monkey puppet for five cents. His mother had made him a stuffed snake from green material, so he got the idea of making his own puppet show. He made a stage from wooden orange boxes and his mother39。s old curtains. He charged 2 cents for admission and earned 32 cents for his first performance. Spinney39。s family liked his creativity and encouraged him to do more . For Christmas when he was nine, his older brother made him a better puppet theater and his mother secretly sewed eight colorful puppets for him. Spinney later wrote, The more I gave shows, the more I felt the power that one has when performing. All these people would sit in a room and listen to everything I said. I did all the character voices: little girl voices, an old lady voice, and a ghost voice. The audience listened and clapped at the end, and also paid me to do it. What could be a better way to make a living than to perform? I knew that I would wind up in the world of entertainment. Spinney continued giving puppet shows. When he decided to go to art school, puppet shows helped him pay for his tuition. Even when he was in the army, he managed to continue giving puppet shows. He knew he wanted to do this as his life39。s work and that he wanted his audience to be children. When he was given the opportunity to create the character of Big Bird on Sesame Street, he accepted it and over the years has made Big Bird one of the most beloved characters on American television.
