Sesame Street Co-Creators Joan A Story Worth Ganz Cooney and Lloyd Morrisett Receive the Press Club’s Distinguished Celebrating Storyteller Award

By ALEX BEN BLOCK

orty-eight years ago Sesame Street changed children’s television forever by pre- senting the first program for preschoolers that integrated education and entertainment Fwith a culturally diverse cast, innovative puppetry and animation. Today it is a beloved institution broadcast on HBO, on more than 300 public TV stations and through co-productions in about 120 countries. It has come a long way from its birth in the boil- ing cauldron of social change in the late when Carnegie Foundation Vice President Lloyd Morrisett asked public TV producer Joan Ganz Cooney during a 1966 dinner party in her apartment if she thought that television could be used to teach young children? Cooney said she didn’t know the answer, but it

Sesame Street recently introduced an autistic puppet named Julia.

The ultimate financial salvation came from the key hire of Jim Henson, whose puppets known as delighted kids. His creations were innova- tive, clever and amusing, with dialogue that worked for kids and parents on different levels. When the government money dried up, Sesame was able to turn to licensing the Muppets. First a talking and then became huge sellers, along with albums, live shows and more. Morrisett’s interest in education began when he was growing up in Los Angeles where his father was a professor at UCLA. When he was 11, he met Julian Ganz, who became a lifelong friend and introduced Morrisett to his cousin Joan. Morrisett attended UCLA and then graduate school at Yale. He taught at Berkeley before moving to New York, where he joined the Carnegie Foundation. “Lloyd was the one who got the idea (for Sesame Street) in the first place,” said Cooney. Early one morning Morrisett had found his pre- school age daughter in the living room watching a TV station logo, waiting for cartoons to air. He later told Cooney that showed him how fascinated kids found TV. “He said, ‘Why not give them something good?’” recalled Cooney. “’Why not try education?’” Out of that Sesame Street was born. Over the years Morrisett, Cooney and their talented team dealt with many issues—business and creative—and fought bat- tles laying the groundwork for an enduring institu- tion that their endless research showed really worked. “We demonstrated,” said Morrisett, “that media can be used for social purposes and that it proved to be of greater longevity than was originally expected.” “I once said,” Cooney said with a laugh, “that my talent—I didn’t play piano or the violin—was to be a good conductor. You get up with your stick and conduct them.” And they played a tune that really did change the world.

hen the Los Angeles Press Club in 2016 became the first AND ALL OF group to honor biopics and based-on-a-true-story films, Wthe club’s members chose Spotlight for the new Veritas TONIGHT’S HONOREES Award. Days later, Spotlight, about the team of journalists who broke open the Boston priest sex abuse ring, won the Oscar for Best Picture. This year, the second Veritas Award went to Hidden Figures, a modest $25 million film that became a smash hit. The Veritas Award honors filmmakers who seek to better our world, and each of us, by unveiling our unknown histories and re- visiting our forgotten triumphs and deepest failures. These filmmak- ers, all journalists at heart, work with the richest material of all—the stories of real events and people. Hidden Figures is the remarkable tale of three African-American women who worked behind the scenes in NASA’s space program in the 1960s, richly portrayed by stars Taraji P. Henson, Octavia Spen- cer and Janelle Monae. It was directed by Theodore Melfi. The contenders in 2018 will be chosen from films already in the- aters or soon to be released, from the United States 20th-century political turmoil detailed in The Post, Detroit and LBJ, to the British tragedies and triumphs of Dunkirk and Victoria and Abdul. With films such as The Big Sick, Stronger, The Glass Castle and Battle of the Sexes in the mix, the third Veritas Award promises to be another standout. Ten finalists, based on or inspired by real events or people, will be announced the first week of January, with subsequent voting by the club’s 500 members to end in early February. The 20 films on the current list are: All Eyez on Me LBJ All Saints Marshall American Made Megan Leavey Battle of the Sexes Only the Brave The Big Sick The Post Breathe 6 Below Detroit Stronger The Disaster Artist Thank You For Your Service Dunkirk Victoria and Abdul The Glass Castle War Machine
