Share your favorite Sesame Street memory on social media with #ThisIsMyStreet! [id: Lucy Liu sits on the railing next to the steps on the Sesame Street set. Her hair is long and loose, and she’s wearing a red and white striped long-sleeved shirt, with a wider block of red at the top and white at the bottom.”Hi, I’m Lucy Liu, and it is an honor to be on the set of Sesame Street right now. My parents are from China. And I was born in New York City, Queens, not far from here,” she gestures to her left, “in the studios of Kaufman Studios.”She looks down, takes a breath, and continues deliberately, “I did not speak English for the beginning part of my life. And my parents worked a lot, they were immigrants, they were both born in China,” she spreads her hands, “and met in New York.” She clasps them together in front of her.Bouncing her interlaced hands for emphasis, and speaking slowly and clearly, she continues, “So I grew up and learned English because of Sesame Street. So Cookie Monster, the Count, Big Bird. Snuffleupagus; all of these wonderful family members were part of my life.” As each character is named, an inset shows a small clip of them.“So it is extremely huge honor for me,” she brings her linked hands to her heart, “to be here on the set and to say, congratulations on 50 years of absolute excellence. And to be in everybody’s hearts, from the age of three months and up.”After a long pause, she rallies herself. “I’m speechless, this is a dream come true. I send all my love to all of the viewers, and to the crew, and the cast, and the writers, Jim Henson.”]/end id.[id: From the same shoot. “I can die happy,” she says as a beaming smile overtakes her face.
