Now it’s time to say goodbye to two people who were both a big part of all our childhoods, even if we never knew their names. Margaret Pelligrini has died at 89. She was one of the last surviving Munchkins from “The Wizard of Oz,” the girl who welcomed Dorothy with a flower pot. And actor Cosmo Allegretti has passed away in Arizona at 86. He was working as a set painter on a brand new kid’s show when the producer decided he didn’t like a particular puppet. So Cosmo volunteered to fill in. And that’s how Bunny Rabbit and Mister Moose and Grandfather Clock and so many other beloved “Captain Kangaroo” characters were born. Cosmo Allegretti was every one of them. He was also known as character Dennis the Painter on Captain Kangaroo.
