Abstract/Notes: [...]the week before I interviewed Sonia, news broke that three longtime cast members, Bob Mc- Grath ("Bob"), Emilio Delgado ("Luis"), and Roscoe Orman ("Gordon"), had been cut from the show. Sonia was as warm, frank, thoughtful, and intriguing as I could have hoped, and it was a distinct pleasure to get to know the real person behind the icon of my childhood. [...]there was a recent piece in the New Yorker, by Sarah Larson, in which she suggested that she and other members of her generation feel that as Sesame Street changes to appeal to today's children, it is losing its heart and getting away from what made it so special in the first place. [...]the Montessori classroom and materials are structured so the young child will figure out how to put them in order and make sense of the world. Have you noticed this shift in Sesame Street-when it comes to the way children are taught these days? SM: Over the years, Sesame Street tackled so many topics, and you personally were involved in so many of those, pregnancy and motherhood, breast-feeding. Because we tell inner-city kids to dream big, so they all think they have to be Beyoncé, as opposed to, you can press the elevator button and pick the floor.
