PERFORMER | Liselotte Pulver |
DEBUT | 1978 |
Lilo was one of the main characters on Sesamstrasse, the German version of Sesame Street, during the first half-decade of the show (1978-1983). She was played by Liselotte Pulver (or "Lilo" Pulver for short). Her debut episode even had her introducing herself as Lilo Pulver, confirming she was essentially playing herself.
An always positive and consistently cheerful individual, she was good friends with Muppet characters Samson, Tiffy, Uli von BΓΆdefeld and Finchen.
For the framing stories of the show, she was either paired with human characters Henning (1978-1979), Uwe (1979-1982), or Manfred (1982-1983). Only for special episodes, such as anniversaries, did she appear with the other human Sesamstrasse residents.
Because the street scenes were repeated in new episodes for several years after, and intermixed with newly produced material, it appeared as though she "lived" on the street well into the early 1990s.
