Granny Fanny Nesselrode is an old lady Muppet performed by Caroll Spinney during the first three seasons of [[Sesame Street (partially lost children's educational TV series; 1969-present)|''Sesame Street'']]. During the first season, she was made from the same puppet that was used for the Southern Colonel and then was rebuilt as a Large Lavender AM in later seasons. Her character was best known for her "Answer Lady" skits, in which she attempted to solve viewers' problems but fails miserably. The program was broadcast from her cozy, sun-filled kitchen in Goat Corners, New Hampshire. She also appeared in the first "Here is Your Life" sketch from 1972, where she celebrates the life of Oak Tree, coming down the road from a farmhouse to visit and pay her respects to the tree, whom she planted in the ground since he was just an acorn, hence also bringing a picture of the acorn. In that sketch, she was performed by Jim Henson. | |||
