Subject: Sesame Street's Maria to retire after 44 years on show
Written By: Philip Eno on 07/02/15 at 12:26 pm
Sonia Manzano, who has played Maria on the US children's programme Sesame Street for more than four decades, is retiring.
Ms Manzano, 65, joined the show in 1971 and became a series regular in 1974, giving helpful advice to characters like Big Bird and Elmo.
She was also a writer on the show, winning 15 Emmy Awards for her work.
The news has led to a flood of tributes on social media, with many remembering her fondly from their childhoods.
Ms Manzano told a conference of librarians in San Francisco that she would not be returning for Sesame Street's next season.
"Thank you but don't be bummed!" Ms Manzano later tweeted to disappointed fans, adding that she could return for the show's 50th anniversary.

I will miss Maria, she has been such a huge part of Sesame Street for 45 years and I used to watch her all the time during the time when the show used to be great till it fell apart in the 90's when it took a different approach.The next person I think who should retire is Bob (Bob McGrath), He's been a huge part as well for 45 years and he's in his mid 80's.
Anyways, Maria good luck with your retirement, you'll be missed! :)

I think Bob McGrath should also retire, he hasn't been looking so well lately.
