  • Maria as Chaplin skits
rdfs:comment
  • A recurring Sesame Street skit paid tribute to silent film star Charlie Chaplin. Maria (dressed to resemble Chaplin's standard film persona) would engage in silent film antics, sometimes as stand-alone sketches, and at other times within the context of other sketches. Sonia Manzano stated in an interview that as a college student, she was a fan of Chaplin's shorts and wrote the sketches to fulfill her own fandom fantasy.
