Mr. Harold Hooper (played by Will Lee) was one of the first four human characters to appear on the television series Sesame Street. After Will Lee died on December 7, 1982, the writers and producers of Sesame Street decided to have the character of Mr. Hooper die, instead of recasting or writing the character off. They created an episode to teach their young audience about death. The episode aired on Thanksgiving Day 1983. . . . #bigbird #sesamestreet #jimhenson #death #loss #grief #lifeafterlos
