Sonia Manzano, who has played Maria on Sesame Street for 45 years, announced yesterday that she is retiring from the kids educational show according to The Hollywood Reporter. She joined the show back in 1971 and became a mainstay 3 years later. Once she was part of the show, we saw her date, get married and have a kid. Now it is time for her to move on.
As she grew up on the show, we all grew up watching her. If you think about most of us have watched Sesame Street at some point in our lives, so she has been part of all of our lives. Now it is time for her to enjoy her life and I wish her the best! We will miss her, but we will remember her with a big letter F as in fondly.
