Linda Bove was her full name--she's held a record for the longest running time for a disabled character on a series, and she's one of the few cast members (Bob and Buffy are the other two) to use her real name on Sesame Street.
Now I resent that remark. I'm partly deaf, but that doesn't make me dumb. There's nothing wrong w/ having on hearing aids, or even glasses -- if you need them.
Whaddya mean canned goods? Put me down!

@DanaAbel30: He meant "dumb" as in "unable to speak", not as in "stupid"....though I can see why the expression still offends a lot of people.

It just goes to show that people need to think first before they act and speak.

Classic Oscar line: "Just because you live in a garbage can, they treat you like trash." So true!

Right; Will Lee (the actor who played Mr. Hooper) didn't die until six seasons later.
