"The question for me was, could TV actually teach? I knew it could, because I knew 3-year-olds who sang beer commercials!”
Happy 93rd birthday to #JoanGanzCooney — co-founder of Children’s Television Workshop + co-creator of #SesameStreet and #TheElectricCompany.
Those of us who grew up in the #1970s owe her so much.
