RUTH (SPAIN)
PERFORMER Ruth Gabriel
DEBUT 1983
Ruth

Ruth was a character from Barrio Sésamo, the Spanish version of Sesame Street.

She was a human, child character who appeared in the second period of the series, from 1983 to 1987. She interacted with human-size muppets Espinete and Don Pimpón.

Ruth was the on-screen daughter of other human characters, Antonio and Matilde, and she had a brother, Roberto.

Although Matilde owned a café which specialized in ice cold refreshments, horchata, Ruth did not show an especially obsessive behavior towards horchatas (like Cookie Monster did towards cookies, for instance).

Behind the Scenes[]

The child actress playing Ruth, Ruth Gabriel, reappeared in 1994 as a young actress in an Award-winning Spanish movie, Días Contados, after seven years without a single public appearance. This caused a public revival of interest in the character she had played in the mid-1980s on Barrio Sésamo in Spain.
