Emilio Delgado, who passed away earlier this year, delighted audiences for more than 44 years on Sesame Street as Luis Rodriguez, the charming co-owner of the Fix-It Shop. Emilio’s role as Luis won him adoring fans of several generations and earned him the distinction of portraying the longest-running Mexican-American character on U.S. television. Join us for a look back at some of his most indelible moments from Sesame Street, including lots of songs, silliness, and the story of his courtship and marriage to his on-camera spouse, Maria (Sonia Manzano). This screening is free, included with museum admission. Approx. 80 minutes.
Admission (with ticket included): $15 / $11 senior and students / $9 youth (ages 3–17) / Free or discounted ($11) for MoMI members. Order online. Please pick up tickets at the Museum’s admissions desk upon arrival. All seating is general admission. Review safety protocols before your visit.
