Fiona Beynor Brown

Fiona Beynor Brown is a British puppeteer and puppet rigger who was one of the Goblin puppeteers in the Creature Shop film Labyrinth. She got to work with numerous Muppet performers within that film such as Mak Wilson, Christine Glanville, Rob Tygner, Jan King, and more. Fiona also had the honor to work under the direction of Jim Henson himself for that film. Brown should have a self-portrait since the picture above is a different person with the same name, the same goes for other puppeteers. Outside, she performed on a few other projects involving puppetry like Little Shop of Horrors (Frank Oz film), Playdays (originating the role of Why Bird), and MacDonald's Farm. She must have felt proud to play a lead character like Why Bird until Ellie Darvill took over until the series end. Fiona Beynor Brown can be very talented at performing on television and film. The only thing needed for her is an actual picture of her face so that everyone in the world will know who she is and what she looks like. It's a shame she disappeared from society after 2001. It isn't right for Fiona to become hidden and not get interviewed on a television talk-show or internet podcast or something. Hopefully, Brown is still around and is maybe puppeteering on projects nobody knows about, at least not yet anyway. She may not have done a lot of main characters, but she did originate the popular Why Bird on the Playdays series. It's not surprising to find a puppeteer originate a character for TV. Fiona Beynor Brown, you were terrific on that spectacular Creature Shop film as well as those outside productions during your career. There'd be no Why Bird for Playdays if you didn't bring her to life. If you're still puppeteering, keep at it and maybe reveal to every co-worker what you've been up to since 2001. Real smooth Fiona. You've "flipped the bird" Brown!

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...

Claire Roi Harvey

Claire Roi Harvey is a puppeteer and performer whose only Henson Company show she ever worked on was The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance. I don't know why she hasn't performed in other Henson projects or even assisted the Muppets for Muppets Most Wanted. Clare has been a puppeteer for film, TV, theatre, and commercials. Outside of The Dark Crystal, she has worked on various other projects such as Feeling Better, three Star Wars films, and Doctor Who, to name a couple. She must have been pretty lucky to work with many creature/puppeteer teams bringing incredible characters to life. Harvey at least had a chance to perform with many Muppet puppeteers such as Damian Farrell, Brian Herring, Dave Chapman and many more. Claire is probably a pretty busy woman to perform in many productions either on-screen or on-stage that feature puppetry. She seems to be like most Muppet performers, and that's performing well with both children and adults for television and film. Harvey also does...
