#TodayInOaklandHistory May 25, 1944, Frank Richard Oznowicz was born. Better known as Frank Oz, or perhaps better known for the characters he has played, including Bert from Sesame Street, Fozzie Bear on the Muppet Show, and Yoda in Star Wars.

He worked with Lettie Schubert's traveling Vagabond Puppets team, which performed regularly at Children's Fairyland. Oz (R) is shown here with Bert (L), and Fairlyland's master puppeteer Lewis Mahlmann (C).
