Vicki Kenderes-Eibner is a puppeteer and producer who is best known for performing on Bear in the Big Blue House. On that show, she performed exactly ten characters, including Ojo, Grandma Flutter, Lois, and Etta Otter. Vicki has also served as a producer for the "What Do You Think?" segments on the show and on their Sing Along Video. Kenderes-Eibner has also performed background characters on a Sesame Street policy trailer and on The Wubbulous World of Dr. Seuss. How come she didn't perform with the Muppets or on any other Sesame Street project? She could have become an even more famous puppeteer than she was. Outside of Bear, Vicki Kenderes-Eibner had puppeteered on The Book of Pooh, The Jewish Heritage Video series, Nickelodeon, and the Discovery Channel. I didn't know this, but I've read that she has been a long-time advocate of children's safety. She even has a puppet named Suzie in which she performed in many New Orleans shelters and the Children's Hospital of New Orleans. Vicki is not only entertaining for children but she's also supportive for children and their safety. I don't know what Kenderes-Eibner is doing now, but I hope that she is still puppeteering for children and helping them learn about safety. Noel MacNeal, Tyler Bunch, James Kroupa, and Peter Linz would've been very proud of her for helping advocate safety. That's something she should take to heart, knowing that her friends support her. Vicki Kenderes-Eibner, you were a star on Bear in the Big Blue House and you've definitely shown you care about kids. Keep on performing for them and making sure they always stay safe. Maybe someday, you'll puppeteer for television again, maybe on a series involving your puppet character Suzie. Until then, keep being a role-model Vicki. Be safe Kenderes-Eibner!

Heather Quinn

Heather Quinn is a British puppeteer, cosplayer, singer, and gossiper who did many puppet characters for social media. She is also the only puppeteer who does cosplay, in other words, dresses and acts like their favorite character from a show. Heather also has a love for anything vintage, which I personally find to be unique for a person to like things from the past. Quinn hasn't done anything Muppet-related in her life, in fact she's probably never even heard of the Muppets or the Henson Company. However she has puppeteered many times for social media such as TikTok and Instagram. One of her puppets resembles an Ewok from the Star Wars franchise, which could give a clue that she's a Star Wars fan as well. In addition to puppetry, Heather Quinn has been gossiping on her website about her activities, her travels, as well as her habit of drinking tea. She's also sung all of Sondheim's Company, Into the Woods, and Sweeney Todd, as stated by her on her own website. Ther...

His most notable work with them was on Fraggle Rock as the body of Pa Gorg and various other characters on the series.

Apart from her, Gordon Robertson did various other shows, his most notable ones were Zoboomafoo and Groundling Marsh.

Amanda Glass

Amanda Glass is a British puppeteer and costume maker who puppeteered on season 1 of Sooty (2011) as well as part of the third season. She also puppeteered on the Sooty video Sooty: The Big Day Out as well as making many of the puppets' costumes on the series. Besides doing Sooty, Amanda was also an additional puppeteer on Mongrels for three episodes. I personally think Glass should have puppeteered on a project by either the Muppets or the Henson Company (mostly in the Creature Shop). It's currently unknown what the performer looks like since the picture above either has her on camera or under one of the puppets. On both Sooty and Mongrels, other puppeteers she performed with include Iestyn Evans, Yvonne Stone, Simon Buckley, and Toby Olie, to name a few. Maybe someday Amanda Glass will have her chance to meet one of the Muppet performers in the UK or maybe she will learn about the Henson Company online. Nobody really knows whatever happened to her after 2018 when she did seas...
