A sweet profile of Carroll Spinney - Big Bird for almost 40 years and he's now 74 years old!
Quoted: Being Big Bird: After 4 decades in costume, puppeteer Caroll Spinney wouldn't change a feather
...
Spinney got his start on Sesame Street during its first season in 1969, after Muppets founder Jim Henson saw him perform at a puppeteer's convention.
...
Henson chose him as Big Bird after Frank Oz, who helped develop Bert, Grover and Cookie Monster, swore off costume puppets following a stint in commercials as the La Choy Dragon, which was equipped with an in-costume flame-thrower.
