Paula Everett

Paula Everett is a British puppeteer who is another performer to be unknown to the public due to lack of information. She only puppeteered in a Playdays video as Peggy Patch, maybe due to Sally Preisig (her regular performer) being unavailable. Paula worked alongside Colleen Daley and Ellie Darvill for the video, though it's unknown if she ever did more productions, as of now. Maybe Everett served as one of the additional puppeteers on the Playdays series but was uncredited, there should be proof. Nobody ever bothers to find out about mysterious puppeteers and what they've done over the years or if they ever did more than one project. The world also doesn't know what she looks like, for the picture above might not be the right person being mentioned here. I hope Paula Everett is still around and remembers doing the Playdays video years ago, it was temporarily on YouTube before being taken down. Maybe someday she'll get interviewed on a show or something, otherwise she will remain unknown to the public. Many times, people who are mysterious don't stay that way for very long. Not to mention Paula never worked with the Muppets or Henson Company on any UK projects, but should have in my opinion. Everett has got to have done something in her life besides that one VHS. There are numerous other puppeteers like her that have no information about themselves either and someday in the future that will change. If it was possible, someone will find out more about these puppeteers, you never know. Paula Everett, you are considered one of the most mysterious puppeteers to the world. Though you did do well filling in for Sally Preisig as Peggy for that video. If you're still alive, come out of hiding and maybe share some info about yourself to the world. Sans all that, you're still ok by me Paula. "All patched up" Everett!

Bob Stutt

Bob Stutt is a Canadian puppeteer and writer whose Henson work started on Fraggle Rock. On Fraggle Rock, he served as a principal supporting puppeteer, performing episodic/background roles, and even filled in as regular characters (to pre-recorded tracks). For Sesame Street, Bob worked on the Canadian co-production, Sesame Park where he replaced Tim Gosley as Basil as well as the first Sesame Street film Follow That Bird. Stutt even assisted the Muppets within A Muppet Family Christmas and The Jim Henson Hour. Why didn't he show off his writing talents to Jim Henson? Outside of Muppets, his best known show was Under the Umbrella Tree as a writer and performer of Iggy Iguana and others. Other shows Bob Stutt puppeteered on included The Big Comfy Couch (also wrote), Today's Special, and Caillou, just to name a few. His writing credits were seen on Wimzie's House, Eric's World, Groundling Marsh, and Radical Sheep projects (ex. Ruffus the Dog). He is somewhat of an expert

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

Cas Willing

Cas Willing is a British designer and puppeteer who has worked on several early Creature Shop projects as mostly a designer but occasional puppeteer. She designed creatures on The Dark Crystal, Dreamchild (also cable control puppeteer), Labyrinth, and The Storyteller. For Dreamchild, Cas also performed with numerous others with the cable controls like Sadie Corre, Melissa Whitmire, Mike Quinn, and William Todd-Jones, to name a few. It's currently unknown what happened to Willing after The Storyteller series ended. She doesn't even have a self portrait of herself, as the picture above placed her in the back left of the other fellow Henson designers. Her only known outside project was on Return to Oz as one of the fabric designers of the mechanical characters, at least that's what IMDb says. Despite that, Cas Willing still got to work under the direction of Jim Henson when in the shop and even helped make puppets for the series Brian Henson was on. If she's still alive to
