Let's make this birthday one to remember.

79 years old (Born on November 30, 1945)

Happy Birthday, Linda Bove! From teaching generations of kids sign language on Sesame Street to your hilarious and heartwarming interactions with Big Bird and Oscar the Grouch, you've always been a shining star. Your expressive storytelling made learning fun—who else could make signing "cookie" as iconic as Cookie Monster himself?

Your groundbreaking role not only entertained but also educated millions about Deaf culture in an unforgettable way. Here's hoping your birthday is filled with laughter louder than Bert's complaints about Ernie’s rubber duckie obsession—and joy sweeter than Elmo’s giggles. Thanks for making our childhoods brighter; may today be just as sunny!
