Greene appeared on Sesame Street in Episode 2071 as a sign painter. Having left the final brush stroke on a WET PAINT sign, she asks Oscar the Grouch to watch over it for her. While she's away, David comes by thinking it's one of Oscar's tricks, but he soon discovers the wet paint is on the sign itself (and now on him). Greene returns to a smudged sign, admonishes Oscar for letting her down, and leaves in a huff. Green also provided backing vocals for the song "You Say Hola and I Say Hola."Documents provided by trusted source
