Earlier today, it was reported that Sesame Street's Alaina Reed, who played Olivia, Gordon's younger sister, passed away. This news is incredibly sad for fans of the show, who will remember Alaina appearing on Sesame Street from 1976 to 1988, as well as starring in two of Sesame Street's most famous productions, Christmas Eve on Sesame Street and Follow That Bird.We wish our deepest condolences to Alaina's family and friends and we hope she has found peace.
If you wish to offer your condolences as well, feel free to leave a comment on the article. Be sure to visit ToughPigs to see some of their favorite Olivia moments. Here are some of mine:

I was so sad to hear this today. My favorite Olivia songs were One Little Star, True Blue Miracle and there's a beautiful song she sings over some footage of things in the world that I think is called "Who Am I?" sometime in the 80's. Now she is a star who can shine brightly in the sky. Shine on Alaina.
