Alaina Reed Hall (Muppet Wiki)

Alaina Reed Hall, best known for playing Gordon’s younger sister on the PBS children’s show ‘Sesame Street,’ died Thursday. She was 63-years-old.
 
Although the details of her death were not made public, IMDB reports that Hall passed away due to breast cancer.

Hall played Olivia on ‘Sesame Street’ from 1976 to 1988 and went on to have a starring role as Rose in the 1980s sitcom ‘227.’

She began her career appearing in Broadway and off-Broadway plays, and was one of the original cast members of ‘Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.’
