Magda Crudelli

Magda Crudelli is a Brazilian puppeteer who was the original performer of Bel on Vila Sesamo before 2016 when Thais Carvalho took over. There's hardly any information about her, other than the projects she puppeteered on. Magda also puppeteered on Cocorico (as Lilica), Ilha Ra-Tim-Bum (as Suzana), and Que Monstro te Mordeu? (as Valquiria the newscaster). Crudelli has also performed with Fernando Gomes and Neusa de Souza while working on Vila Sesamo, and she also worked with Kelly Guidotti on Cocorico. I wonder if she ever got trained by a Sesame Street performer to work on Vila Sesamo. But perhaps she should be interviewed on a Brazilian talk show of some sort so that the administrators of the Muppet Wiki will know more about her and add to her page. Magda Crudelli is another one of those puppeteers to not have a lot of bio info, well except for the projects she puppeteered on. Cocorico may be her best known project she has done outside of Vila Sesamo, at least I assume it. Maybe someday, she'll be interviewed for radio, television, or a podcast and then people will know more about her and also why she left Vila Sesamo after doing Bel for some time. No matter what happens, Magda will still be considered famous for Cocorico and Vila Sesamo. Let's just hope that Crudelli will have more info about herself in the near future. Not to mention her page on the Muppet Wiki having an upgrade so that everyone who reads it will know more about her. Magda Crudelli, you happen to be one of those great Brazilian puppeteers when it comes to working on television and maybe even film. I only hope you'll never forget working on Vila Sesamo with both Gomes and de Souza. You never know when you may run into one of them again in your free time. Keep up the great work Magda. Good luck Crudelli!

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

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
