Virginia Goodfellow

Virginia Goodfellow is an Australian puppeteer who only did one Creature Shop project, Farscape: The Peacekeeper Wars. She's another puppeteer to have hardly any personal information. Virginia has also done one outside project, The Upside Down Show, where she performed with Mat McCoy, Emma de Vries, and Alice Osborne. Goodfellow should have had more information about herself, then Muppet Wiki would make a page for her and people would know what else she's done. There are several other puppeteers like her that don't have info about themselves. Puppeteers such as Brian Knatchbull, Lynn Hippen, Denise Cheshire, and others don't have a lot of info either. Virginia Goodfellow still performed with many puppeteers across Australia during her performance with Farscape. The Henson Company should do more projects in that continent in the future, so she could become a Muppet performer herself by then. She could have done Bambaloo or Play Along With Ollie, but she was probably too busy with her own projects (whatever they were). Virginia should also have a self picture because I'm not so sure the picture above is the one that I'm talking about. Goodfellow is still known for working on Farscape and The Upside Down Show by the world, at least for now. Someday more information about her will be on the Muppet Wiki and then people will know more about this puppeteer. We just have to keep our hopes up and that it will happen. Virginia Goodfellow, you are yet another mysterious puppeteer and will probably still be until someone interviews you for your work. Until then, keep doing whatever it is you're doing now and you'll be recognized. Such fine puppetry Virginia. Be splendid Goodfellow!

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...

His most notable work with them was on Fraggle Rock as the body of Pa Gorg and various other characters on the series.

Outside of his work with the Muppets, he performed with Shari Lewis on Lamb Chop's Play-Along and The Charlie Horse Music Pizza. Apart from her, Gordon Robertson did various other shows, his most notable ones were Zoboomafoo and Groundling Marsh.

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...
