Kermit Love Was Loved

Filed Under Obits | July 14th, 2008 

An alert reader found this interesting NY Times obit:

Kermit Love, Costume Creator, Dies at 91. Kermit Love was the costume designer for some of ballet’s most renowned choreographers but his greatest fame came as a co-creator, of the beloved Big Bird and Mr. Snuffleupagus.

(How odd, I just saw a video of the guy who is Big Bird recently somewhere.)

Mr. Love is survived by Christopher Lyall, his partner of 50 years.
