Alaina Reed

Alaina Reed played Olivia Robinson on Sesame Street from 1976 to 1988.

She also played Olivia in the specials Christmas Eve on Sesame Street, A Special Sesame Street Christmas, and Don't Eat the Pictures, and in the movie Follow That Bird.

In the late 1985, she was hired to be part of the cast of a sitcom called "227." That series was taped in California, while Sesame Street is taped in New York. For a few years, she continued to work on both shows, but it just became too difficult, so she chose to leave "Sesame Street" in 1988. "227" continued until 1990.

Beginning in 1989, Alaina Reed was professionally known as Alaina Reed Hall, following her marriage to Kevin Peter Hall. She's remained active as an actress in television, films, commercials, and cartoon series, with appearances in "Friends," "Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman," "NewsRadio," and the film Cruel Intentions.
