Justine Johnston Justine Johnston ( 1921 - 2006 ) was a character actress on Broadway and occasionally in film and television . Often cast as snobbish dowagers or matrons , she appeared in the 1998 " Sesame Street " video " Big Bird Gets Lost " as a prim customer . Attired in an ornate feathered hat and yellow suit , a crouching Johnston is mistaken by Maria for Big Bird , prompting an indignant " I beg your pardon ! " Faced with this tower of respectability and dignity , Maria tries to explain the situation : " I thought your hat was my friend ' s behind . " Slowly growing more aghast , the customer repeats " Your friend ' s . . . " behind " ? " and with raised eyebrows and a distressed " Ohh ! , " beats a shocked retreat , in the grand tradition of Marx Brothers movie foil Margaret Dumont . Johnston made her Broadway debut late in life , originating the role of legendary but aging soprano Heidi Schiller in Sondheim ' s " Follies " in 1971 . Other Broadway shows included " Me and My Girl " , " Irene " , " Molly " , " Angel " , " Sondheim : A Musical Tribute " , and " I Remember Mama " . In film , she played Aunt Pearl Bach , disapproving of Dudley Moore in " Arthur " , and most of her other screen and TV roles were in the same mold : well - heeled matrons with such typical names as Mrs . Armstrong ( the " Seinfeld " episode " The Letter " ) , Hermione Rockwell ( the sitcom " Mr . Rhodes " ) , Mrs . Comstock ( the TV movie " Orphan Train " ) , and Mrs . Puddingforth ( " The Duke " , with Paxton Whitehead ) . She even typified the upper - class American dowager outside of its native habitat , appearing in the 1998 French film " Que la lumière soit " . However , most of Johnston ' s career was spent on the road with such touring musicals as " Milk and Honey " , " The Gazebo " , and in particular , " A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum " , playing the austere Roman matriarch Domina off and on for over thirty years . In 1990 , several years prior to her " Sesame " video appearance , she appeared in a tour of " Lend Me a Tenor " . Again cast to type as a culture - loving dowager and clad in a sparkling evening gown , Johnston was described by one critic as looking " eerily like Miss Piggy competing in a Margaret Dumont look - alike contest .
