Terri Hardin

Terri Hardin is a puppeteer, actress, and stand-up comedienne who is known for puppeteering on a number of Creature Shop productions. She was an animatronic operator/puppeteer for Dinosaurs, The Country Bears, and puppeteered on The Flintstones feature film. Terri has also puppeteered on Muppet projects such as Muppet*Vision 3D, Muppet Classic Theater, and Muppets Tonight, the former where she met Jim Henson. Hardin didn't voice the characters she puppeteered but should have for she's got a talented voice. That would make her another female Muppet performer. However, she has puppeteered outside of the Muppets and the Creature Shop as seen on The Puzzle Place, Popples, and in the movie Theodore Rex, just to name a few. Terri Hardin must be the luckiest puppeteer to be given a job at Disneyland for the Disney Studios contacted her during her career of sculpting character costumes at Universal Studios Hollywood. After eight interviews, she got the job and helped to design some of the theme park attractions at Disneyland Paris. As for her puppet life, she once saw puppeteer/ventriloquist Shari Lewis perform. That inspired Terri to create her unique version of Lamb Chop. Hardin must have an incredible life to work at Disneyland, see a master puppeteer and ventriloquist, and work with the Muppets/Creature Shop on stuff. I wonder what shows she did stand-up comedy in since she's a stand-up comedienne too. She's currently a pumpkin carver and has made numerous jack-o-lantern designs for many events and classes. Terri Hardin, you are one of the greatest puppeteers at Disney there is to know and outside on all of those projects too. Your friends like Drew Massey, Terry Castillo, and Joe Selph should be very proud of you. Keep up the great work and always remember to have fun. There just isn't anything impossible you can't do Terri. That's what makes you very special Hardin!
