Alice Braithwaite Goodyshoes

Alice Braithwaite Goodyshoes was a little girl who appeared in a variety of animated segments during the first season of Sesame Street. Described by the show's producers as "an arrogant, sanctimonious know-it-all," she frequently opened her segments by announcing, "This is Alice Braithwaite Goodyshoes, the smartest girl in the whole world!"Lesser, Gerald S. Children and Television: Lessons from Sesame Street. The segments were produced by Ken Snyder.Sesame Street: A Celebration - 40 Years of Life on the Street, page 240. Some segments also featured a monster with polka dots.
She appeared on one of the posters that was included in The Sesame Street Learning Kit, and three of her segments were included in The Sesame Street Book of Puzzlers. In print materials and merchandise, Alice's middle name has been variously spelled as "Braithwaith" and "Braitewaith." A few documents from the CTW archives refer to her as "Baby Alice", as does Susan in Episode 0091.
