Where Are They Now Special: The Cast of Sesame Street...

Linda the Librarian joined the cast of Sesame Street in 1971 and became a regular cast member in 1977.

Bove’s participation in the street was prolific because she is deaf and introduced sign language to thousands of children over three decades.

Sesame Street wasn’t Bove’s only foray into television - she starred in an episode of Happy Days as the Fonz’ girlfriend Allison and in soap opera Search for Tomorrow.

In 1991 she founded with her husband DeafWest, a resident sign-language theatre which provides stage productions and creative opportunities to the hearing-impaired community in LA.

Linda departed the Sesame Street in 2003 after a 32 year run, giving her the title of the longest running role for a deaf person in television history.

Linda still continues her work in the deaf community.
