Sylvia Anderson, pioneer of puppetry and a trailblazer for women in entertainment, has passed on. She leaves behind a legacy that will outlast many of you reading this today. With a degree in sociology and political science, she worked in the US for several years as a journalist before returning to the UK and eventually joining AP Films with her husband Gerry. The BBC has a nice article on Sylvia and her accomplishments.
Thunderbirds didn’t play in my area growing up, so it wasn’t until I was an adult before I had my first exposure to the Andersons and their amazing worlds. I’m still a fan to this day…
