Rest In Peace Ms.Alaina Reed Hall, cast member of "Sesame Street" and the sweet neighborhood gossip on "227." She passed December 17 in Los Angeles after a long battle with breast cancer at the age of 63.
From 1976 to the late 80's she starred as Olivia on Sesame Street,claiming in 2004 that "it was the best job I ever had." Then in 1985 she was cast on the sitcom 227. Now if you didn't watch 227 suicide yourself lol.
I'm a huge fan of Reed,even outside of her television career. She went on to have small parts in movies and some stints on Broadway (Hair, Chicago). Also an excellent singer, she released a single "Bad for my Head" in 1972.
As we pray for the Hall family and of course everyone she touched, please keep in mind the ever-present need for breast cancer research.
Just think,in 2007 19% of all deaths of African American women was breast cancer.
Please Please Please know,love,and support Pink.
Rest In Peace Olivia.
