Victoria Willing
Victoria Willing is a British actress, puppeteer, and script editor who performing with both Henson and Muppets on many projects. Her most notable Henson project was on Mopatop's Shop performing the main characters Puppyduck and Mother Mouse, as well as occasional minor characters. Victoria's other work with Henson/Muppets was mostly as an additional puppeteer. Willing had assisted on The Hoobs and The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance, as well as three films The Muppets Christmas Carol, Muppet Treasure Island, and Alice in Wonderland. Outside of Henson and the Muppets she did less puppetry and more acting on-screen. Her puppetry can be seen on Bunnytown, Wizadora, and Gophers. It seems that other than that, Victoria Willing has done more films and series as an actress. Some of her projects include The Inbetweeners, Dream Team, This Year's Love, and Doctors, to name a few. I only wish she would have done more projects involving puppetry, because it makes more sense for puppeteers to do more outside work too. IMDb states that Victoria also performed on stage a couple of times, in Theatre of Blood (based off of a film) and The Chalk Garden. This could mean that Willing is definitely more interested in acting on stage and screen rather than doing puppetry, or vice versa. But no matter what the case is, Mopatop's Shop is probably her best known project to this day. Let's just hope she will give puppetry another chance someday. Not to mention there should be credits in which she was also script editor as well on IMDb, if not that website, then maybe other ones. Victoria Willing, you were splendid with Henson/Muppets as well as acting on-screen. Your friends like William Todd-Jones, Nigel Plaskitt, Mak Wilson, and others should be proud to perform with someone like you. Keep on acting and doing puppetry too so people will recognize you. Cheers to you Victoria. Always take a bow Willing!
