Emilio Delgado (May 8, 1940 – March 10, 2022) was a Mexican American television, film and stage actor, voice artist and singer best known for his role as Luis, the Fix-it Shop owner, on the children's television series Sesame Street. Delgado joined the cast of Sesame Street in 1971 and remained until his contract was not renewed in 2016, as part of Sesame Workshop's re-tooling of the series,[1] although Sesame Workshop later announced that there would be talks to bring him back. Following his departure, the workshop stated that Delgado would continue to represent them at public events.[2] Delgado also appeared as Luis in the TV special Sesame Street's 50th Anniversary Celebration.[3] He began his professional career in Los Angeles in 1968. Delgado lived in New York City with his wife Carole and also served on the Board of Directors at the Bayard Rustin Center for Social Justice, an LGBTQIA safe-place, community activist center, and educational bridge dedicated to honoring Bayard Rustin through their mission and good works.[4]

Life and career Edit
Childhood, education and early roles Edit
Delgado was born in Calexico, California.

He was raised in his grandparents' house in Mexicali, Mexico, with his poor extended family.[5] As a citizen of the United States, he would walk daily to attend a public school in Calexico, California.[5] He began working odd jobs as a ten year old, and at his uncle's bicycle shop at age 12. His family moved to Glendale, California when he was a teenager. During high school, three years of which he attended Glendale High School, he became president of the Thespian Club, played trombone both in their orchestra and a jazz band, and was a drum major in the marching band.[5]

Delgado was "adamantly and morally opposed" to the Vietnam War, but enlisted in the California National Guard for six years, serving domestically.[5] A supply corporal, Delgado was deployed to the Watts riots in Los Angeles, in 1965, where he was "astonished to see weekend warriors being issued live ammunition to use against other Americans."[5]

Delgado began acting professionally in 1968, after nine years of "trying to knock doors down in Los Angeles to get in."[6] That year, he received his first Equity job in a summer stock play starring Martha Raye,[5] and later was cast in the first Mexican-American soap opera, Cancion de la Raza.[7]

Befriending actor Sergei Tschernisch at Los Angeles theatre company Inner City Repertory, Delgado learned of the new theatre program at CalArts, led by Provost Herb Blau. While already a professional actor as of his 1970 enrollment, Delgado praised Blau's methods, suggesting his avant-garde method was "amazing."[5]

As of 1970, he was the artistic director of the new Mexican-American Centre of Creative Arts, which taught Chicano high school and college students from the basement of the Euclid Heights Community Centre in East Los Angeles.[8] Delgado told the Los Angeles Times: "We are 100% positive in our approach, and we are uncompromising in our belief that our kids will come away thinking of themselves as artists. Nothing is going to stop us from attaining our identification in American society."[9]

Delgado had a guest role in an October 1970 episode Storefront Lawyers, before being cast as a series regular in Angie's Garage, in November 1970. The new children's series focused on serving Mexican-American children. He was billed as a singer-guitarist.[10] He speculated that Sesame Street producers discovered him through the series.[6]

Delgado was able to do voice over work, both with and without an accent.[11]

Early years on Sesame Street (1971–1988) Edit
The enormous popularity of Sesame Street created a barrage of groups providing input on the curriculum in its second season.[12] During the season, the program attempted to teach Spanish to children whose mother tongue was English. Producer Jon Stone told The Pittsburgh Press that their attempts were "a disaster. It was tokenism at best, and condescension at worst."[13] For the third season, the show rebooted their efforts, adding Puerto Ricans and Chicanos, and creating new Spanish segments.[13] Seven new cast members were added at the start of the season, including Delgado, Panchito G๓mez, Raul Julia, and Sonia Manzano.[14] Delgado was still enrolled at CalArts, as of casting.[5] Delgado's character, Luis, ran "The Fix-It Shop," a repair service on Sesame Street, alongside Julia's Rafael. The character has been described as the "antithesis" of the Mexican and Latino stereotypes that proliferated television at the time, as he was "an honest, upstanding, hard-working, affable person."[5] Delgado expected the role to last one or two seasons.[5]

Delgado joined the series' live events by at least 1972, when he performed with the Jackson Symphony Orchestra.[15]

Delgado was named the coordinator of the Children's Television Workshop's Bilingual Task Force, and sent across the country to meet with groups. The efforts were to lead to further updates to content in season 4.[7] He would comment in 1972 that the series didn't "teach Spanish, we teach in Spanish."[16]

Delgado is believed to have played "the same role on US television longer than any other Mexican-American actor," according to CalArts.[5]

Later seasons on Sesame Street (1988–2016) Edit
During Sesame Street's 19th season, first aired in 1988, Delgado's character Luis became engaged to and married Maria, played by Sonia Manzano. According to Delgado, "to this day, there are fans out there who want to believe that the Luis and Maria wedding episode in 1988 was real,"but the fact of the matter is, it was just terrific acting."[5]

Delgado later appeared at various pop culture conventions, often under the brand "Humans of Sesame Street".[17] Delgaldo also reprised the role of Luis in the TV special Sesame Street's 50th Anniversary Celebration.[18]

Delgado also performed in live shows throughout his Sesame Street career, singing the songs of Sesame Street and entertaining thousands of children and their families.[19]

On Sesame Street, his character, Luis, was the first human addition to the original cast. Luis was a handyman and an aspiring writer, who debuted on the show in 1971 simultaneously with Raul Julia as Rafael. Together they ran the L&R Fix-It Shop until Julia left the show after one season, and Luis ran the Fix-It Shop alone from then on. In season 19, Luis fell in love with Maria, performed by Sonia Manzano, and married her. The characters Luis and Maria taught viewers about Hispanic culture and language throughout their shared run of the show.

Additional roles Edit
Delgado would take guest roles on other series, while Sesame Street wasn't taping. Notably, he had a recurring role as national news editor Rubin Castillo on the television series Lou Grant.[20][5]

Delgado starred in the Alley Theatre production of Octavio Solis' Quixote Nuevo (2020), a modern Chicano adaptation of Don Quixote.[11]

In Los Angeles, he was a company member of Inner City Rep, The Group Repertory, and LA Repertory. Some of his New York City theatre credits include Floating Home (HExTC), Boxing 2000 (Richard Maxwell NYC Players), Dismiss All the Poets (New York Fringe Festival 2002), Nilo Cruz's adaptation of A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings (Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey), Dinosaurios (IATI), Night Over Taos (INTAR Theatre) an adaptation of How the Garcํa Girls Lost Their Accents (Round House Theatre) and Emilio appeared in the role of King Claudius in Asolo Repertory Theatre production of Hamlet, Prince of Cuba, with alternating performances in English and Spanish, where one reviewer wrote that Delgado "is equally brilliant as King Claudius".[21]

Other television appearances include House of Cards, Law & Order, Law & Order: Criminal Intent, and Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. He was a regular cast member of Lou Grant and the short-lived Born to the Wind. He also appeared in episodes of Police Story; Hawaii Five-O; and Quincy, M.E.

Delgado's other creative endeavor has been to sing and record with the band Pink Martini. He has performed with the band at Carnegie Hall and Town Hall in New York City, The Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles,[22] in Woodinville, Washington at the Chateau Ste. Michelle Winery, and in Portland, Oregon at the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall, Crystal Ballroom and the Oregon Zoo. He appears on their album Splendor in the Grass, in which he recorded the song "Sing", a duet with China Forbes.[23]

Personal life Edit
Delgado had a son, Aram, from a previous marriage. He was married to his subsequent wife, Carole, from ca. 1989. Together they had one daughter, Lauren.[5]

Delgado's voice has been described as "gravelly and sonorous, his words precise and deliberate."[11]

Death Edit
In 2020, Delgado was diagnosed with multiple myeloma.[24] He died from the disease at his home in New York City on March 10, 2022, at the age of 81.[25]

Born in Kentucky in 1991, Go for Gin was bred by Pamela duPont Darmstadt and trained by Nick Zito, who also trained 1991 Kentucky Derby winner Strike the Gold.

In 1995, Go for Gin suffered a small tear of a tendon sheath in his left foreleg while working out at Belmont Park.[1] This precipitated his retirement to stud.

After the death of Sea Hero in July 2019, Go for Gin became the oldest living Kentucky Derby winner.[2] Upon the death of A.P. Indy on February 21, 2020, Go For Gin became the oldest living winner of any of the Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Racing races.

Racing history Edit
Go for Gin started 19 races, winning five and running in the money 14 times. Though he challenged for the Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Racing, he never won again, losing his last nine races.

1994 Kentucky Derby Edit
The 120th Kentucky Derby was held on May 7, 1994, over a sloppy track. The race went off at 5:34 p.m. local time. Go for Gin entered the race at 9.10:1 odds, behind Holy Bull at 2.20, Brocco at 4.30, Tabasco Cat at 6.10, and Strodes Creek at 7.90. He started by ducking out, forcing Tabasco Cat into Brocco. By the 1/4 mile pole, Go for Gin moved up to second place behind Ulises. At the 1/2 mile pole, he led by half a length. As he entered the stretch, he increased the lead to four lengths. Strodes Creek and Blumin Affair both made late charges, closing the gap, but Go for Gin won by two lengths in a time of 2:03.72 and netted US$628,800 for the victory.[3] Tabasco Cat finished sixth in this race but won that year's other two legs of the Triple Crown. Go for Gin placed second in both of those races.

Early life Edit
Janis was born in Manhattan on February 11, 1928.[1] His father, Sidney, was an art dealer and writer; his mother, Harriet (Grossman), was also a writer.[2] He had one brother, Carroll.[3][4] Janis successfully auditioned for a road company at the age of 13 and consequently spent the next two years with them. He also began doing radio voice work during this time.[1]

Career Edit
Janis secured a role in the play Dark of the Moon during its pre-Broadway run, in which he was spotted by a Hollywood talent scout. He stayed with the production when it ran in New York City, consequently making his Broadway debut in March 1945. He then made his film debut later that year as Ronald Stevens in the film Snafu.[1] He then played "Johnikins" in Margie (1946) with Jeanne Crain. He starred in the film noir The Brasher Doubloon with George Montgomery the following year.[5]

Janis's work on television included starring in "Fit to Kill" on The Web on November 19, 1950.[6] He played eldest son Edward on the sitcom Bonino in 1953. He subsequently appeared in an episode of Get Smart as a KAOS agent; guest-starred as a dance marathon emcee on The Golden Girls; and appeared in the sci-fi sitcoms Quark and Mork and Mindy. He also featured in The Buddy Holly Story and the Goldie Hawn / George Segal comedy The Duchess and the Dirtwater Fox.[4] Janis made a brief appearance as himself in the jazz bar scene from Nothing in Common.[7]

Janis was a longtime advocate of traditional jazz. He assembled a band of aging jazz greats in 1949 ("all of the guys that I idolized"), consisting of James P. Johnson (piano), Henry Goodwin (trumpet), Edmond Hall (clarinet), Pops Foster (bass), and Baby Dodds (drums), with himself on trombone.[4] During the late 1970s, he formed the Beverly Hills Unlisted Jazz Band, which appeared multiple times on the Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson and gave eight sold-out performances at Carnegie Hall.[4][8]

Personal life Edit
Janis's first marriage was to Vicki Quarles. Together, they had two children: Christopher and Carin. They later divorced. His second marriage to Ronda Copland also ended in divorce. Janis married his third wife, Maria Grimm, in 1987. They remained married until her death in September 2021.[1]

Janis died on March 1, 2022, in Los Angeles. He was 94 years old.[1]

RIP Go for Gin, wire to wire at 9/1 in the 1994 Derby.

Yes I bet this horse a few times I remember. The good old days.

[DrunkHorseplayer]

I remember the Derby was run on a sloppy track and Stage Door Johnny (his maternal grandsire) is great breeding for a wet track; I hemmed and hawed but coildn't pull the trigger. Stiill gnaws at me to this day.

Bigfoot would wrap him up in the leaves of an Oregon Maple and rock him to sleep like a little baby.
