From Jim Henson: The Biography by Brian Jay Jones: “If was fortunate for Jim he had found such a proficient female performer, for both Jim and Joan Cooney had been under fire from women's organizations for the lack of female Muppets, and Muppet performers, on Sesame Street.

"That was very much criticized," Cooney recalled. "We had a terrible time." Ultimately, hiring Brill turned out to be more than meeting a mere quota. "She brought a sharpness" to the the Muppets, said Oz, "a sense of craft.... She wasn't always funny, but that didn't matter. She knew our rhythms." After performing in The Great Santa Claus Switch, Brill would cross over to Sesame Street, a first performing Ernie's right hand, then working her way into characters of her own, including the forthright Prairie Dawn, a character should would perform for the next forthy years. Jumping into the mix with Jim and the Muppet team, Brill said later, was "analogous to a family of boys acquiring a female sibling. The family remained a 'boys club' but the dynamic changed when I as the younger 'sister' arrived.... I got kidded but I had to earn their respect. I had to keep up. it was challenging but an enormous amount of fun."”
