Beth Hathaway

Beth Hathaway is a puppeteer, fabricator, makeup artist, and costumer who is known for her work in films and some television shows. As a puppeteer, some of the films she did have included Jurassic Park (and its first sequel), Spy Kids 1 and 4, Inspector Gadget, and Cursed. As a fabricator, Beth did Austin Powers, The Chronicles of Narnia, Abominable, Sharkboy & Lavagirl, and numerous other films. In addition to working in the art department, Hathaway also appeared as herself on the Henson Company game show Jim Henson's Creature Shop Challenge as well as on other productions. It must have been an honor for her to appear alongside Brian Henson on that show. As a costumer, she worked on TMNT: Out of the Shadows, The Hateful Eight, and even on The Masked Singer from 2023-2025. There just doesn't seem to be anything Beth Hathaway can't do when it comes to films, even though she didn't do any Muppet projects (yet). Though it must be exhausting for her to work on numerous films over the years in her career doing either puppetry, fabrication, or costuming. But it just goes to show how hard working one person can be within the film industry. Beth is still working in film and television today as mentioned on some of the shows listed above. Hathaway should consider doing fabrication within the Muppet Workshop as she's been pretty good fabricating costumes, makeup-effects, and so on. But that is totally up to her as she's more experienced with special effects than puppet building. In the meantime, she should consider getting interviewed about her life and career. Beth Hathaway, you were magnificent working on all of those films, and you still are today. You also got the chance to do a Henson Company show as a judge working with Brian Henson. Keep on working in film and television so that you'll go down in history as another effects genius. Excellent effects Beth. You were made for it Hathaway!

Brock Winkless

Brock Winkless was a puppeteer and visual effects technician, best known for being the puppeteer of Chucky in the Child's Play franchise and the Crypt Keeper on Tales from the Crypt. A magazine stated that he understood lip-syncing of a puppet's mouth movements which gave him the skill to puppeteer his characters to vocal tracks. Brock frequently worked with director and make-up artist Kevin Yagher on many projects, such as the Child's Play series, the Crypt Keeper, and the film Honey, I Blew Up the Kid. Winkless also collaborated with other studios for make-up and visual effects throughout his career, including Animated FX Inc., owned by Norman Tempia. Other films he puppeteered in over the years have included Death Becomes Her, Man's Best Friend, Congo, The X-Files, and Dr. Dolittle 2. But no matter what films he does he'll always be known for being both Chucky and the Crypt Keeper since he's done both roles for years. Apart from doing puppetry, Brock Winkless...

Melissa King is an Australian puppeteer, actress, voice actress, and director who guest puppeteered on Farscape alongside other Australian puppeteers. She is known for performing with various theatres over the years in her career like Riverina Theatre Co, Belvoir St. Joining Terrapin Puppet Theatre, Blue Cow Theatre, and lots more.

Her on-screen acting credits have included Deadloch, The Gloaming, Fallen Angels, and Rose Haven, to name a few. It's a shame she only did one production with the Henson Company because they hardly do a lot of productions in Australia, but Muppet performers have visited Australia lots of times for appearances.
