Louise Gold

Louise Gold is a British actress and puppeteer who is best known for performing various characters for the Muppets, most notably a pig named Annie Sue. She also did various characters on Sesame Street from Seasons 23-27. Louise is also one of those many left-handed puppeteers. Gold began working with the Muppets in 1977 on the 2nd season of The Muppet Show. She has also worked on Henson Company shows such as The Ghost of Faffner Hall, The Animal Show, Mopatop's Shop, and The Secret Life of Toys, to name a few. Outside of the Muppets, she has mainly been a singer and actress on stage in shows like Mamma Mia, The Waterbabies, Oliver, and more. As for puppetry, Louise Gold has only done two series, Spitting Image and The Spooks of Bottle Bay (Season 1). Her latest work with the Muppets was on Muppets Most Wanted with Annie Sue while her latest work with Sesame Workshop was on The Furchester Hotel as Funella Furchester and others. Her latest Creature Shop work placed her on The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance, the prequel to The Dark Crystal (which she also performed in). Louise's last known puppet work was on GLOP, performing with many female puppeteers such as Alice Dinnean, Leslie Carrara-Rudolph, and Donna Kimball. Gold is still doing podcast interviews on this day, according to the internet. Let's just hope she's still able to puppeteer today. She was last seen in a podcast episode celebrating 50th anniversary of Dave Goelz with the Muppets. Louise Gold, you are a talented left-handed puppeteer and actress. I hope that someday you'll work with the Muppets again on a project in the UK. Though you should have assisted them when they performed at the O2 Arena in 2018, but you were probably busy. Fantastic work Louise. You're a real model Gold!
