Heather Henson

Heather Henson is an actress and the youngest of the five children of Jim and Jane Henson. She has made on-screen appearances in many projects like the Number Three Ball Film for Sesame Street, The Muppets Take Manhattan, an episode of The Storyteller (uncredited), and The Frog Prince (back when she was a baby). Heather also serves on The Jim Henson Company, The Jim Henson Legacy, and The Jim Henson Foundation Boards of Directors. I have read that Henson's only known puppetry work was in the back seat of Beauregard's taxi in the 1981 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, alongside Jim and Cheryl Henson. She also worked in the Muppet Workshop for Muppets Tonight. Her outside work has placed her as a producer for the annual Orlando Puppet Festival, curator/distributor of the Handmade Puppet Dreams film series, and key person of Puppet Slam. From a baby to an adult, Heather Henson has been on screen and off screen throughout her life. I wonder if she was comfortable doing a cameo as the unnamed screaming patient in the Frank Oz film Little Shop of Horrors. I also read that she even formed her own entertainment company called IBEX Puppetry, where it promotes the fine puppetry art in all of its mediums (whatever that means). Those three projects mentioned above are all projects of IBEX Puppetry and all involve Heather supervising. Henson should be proud of herself from doing all of those projects, not to mention forming her own entertainment company. I hope her parents who are up in heaven are proud of her. Heather Henson, you are one of the Henson geniuses and ought to be proud of what you do. Your parents would be very proud of how much work you've done recently for your own company. Keep up the fantastic puppet work Heather. You're a star of all ages Henson!
