Julianne Buescher

Julianne Buescher is a puppeteer, voice actress, indie-filmmaker, writer, and illustrator. She is best known for performing with the Muppets and on Sesame Street. For the Muppets she has performed various characters such as Yolanda Rat, Wanda, Denise, Beverly Plume and more. As for Sesame Street, Julianne was the 1st performer of Sherry Netherland (before Alice Dinnean took over) and she played a variety of minor characters from Seasons 23-26. Buescher must be the Muppet queen, because she has performed over a hundred puppets. She has also served as principal puppeteer for Henson Alternative which she designed, built, and performed characters for Puppet Up, where most of those puppets would be recycled for various productions. Her work has been seen on shows like Dinosaurs, Telling Stories with Tommie dePaola, and Muppets Tonight, to name only a few. She has also done some puppetry outside of the Muppets, Creature Shop, and Sesame Street. Julianne Buescher puppeteered on Cousin Skeeter, Riders in the Sky, The Mr. Potato-Head Show, and several more shows like that. As for her voice, it can be heard on shows and films like Robot Chicken, Open Season, and Reckoning, to name a few. Julianne is definitely going from educational TV to the big time in LA, California on television shows and films. Buescher is still performing with the Muppets today as seen on Muppets Haunted Mansion, The Not-Too-Late Show with Elmo (Season 2), and Holey Moley. It's currently unknown what happened to her after Holey Moley since she didn't do The Muppets Mayhem. Performers such as Peter Linz, Brian Henson, or John Kennedy should go find her. Julianne Buescher, you're an excellent performer but you should reveal to people why you stopped Muppet work. If you've taken a break from Muppets, please go back soon. Until then, keep puppeteering Julianne. You totally rock Buescher!

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...

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...
