Sylvia Anderson
TV producer, writer, animator, and actress; bet known for "Thunderbirds" -- via the BBC. Her collaborations with husband Gerry also included "Space: 1999," "Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons," "Fireball XL-5," "Joe 90," and "Stingray." Using the puppetry technique of "Supermarionation," their trademark worlds of fanciful gadgets and daring adventures was huge for a generation of English kids, and Americans like me who caught them at odd hours of the day and night. Caution: can creep some out. No "Thunderbirds," no "Team America: World Police"!
