Fanny, Shola, and Kermit in 1973...
...and reunited in 1989.
Fanny Lim (b. approx. 1967) appeared as one of the kids on Sesame Street between the ages of 3 and 10.[1]
She notably appeared alongside Shola Lynch in a series of Muppet & Kid Moments with Kermit the Frog in Season 5. Lim and Lynch were reunited with Kermit for the 1989 special Sesame Street: 20 and Still Counting. Lim acknowledges that post-Sesame, she majors in economics at the Wharton School of Business in the University of Pennsylvania, and has become multi-lingual (even knowing how to speak frog).
In pre-production documents for the anniversary special, Lim recalled her memories of being on the show include "playing in the kids playroom-greenroom; hanging out in Big Bird's nest; chasing Big Bird; playing with Sam the Robot and Snuffy...Tough moments: wearing a coat under the hot lights in a scene with fake snow, discovering that the magazines at Hooper's Store were false fronts."[1]
