Ronnie Le Drew: Voice Behind Zippy and Puppetry Legend | Entertainment and Celebrity News
Description
Puppetry legend Ronnie Le Drew, voice and hands behind beloved character Zippy from Rainbow, has passed away at 78. A towering figure in British puppetry, he served as president of the British Puppet Guild for a decade, remained active until his final days, and shaped the art form across TV, film, and education — from Labyrinth to The Dark Crystal, and teaching for 30 years at the Little Angel Theatre. He championed puppetry as serious, sophisticated art, not just for kids, and his legacy of wonder and craft lives on.
