Rachel Appelbaum

Rachel Appelbaum is a puppeteer, actress, musician, producer, and writer who performs on numerous TV shows and feature films. Some of the films she did include Buddy, Something Sinister, and The Monsters Without, the former performing with Cedwan Hooks, Lynette Eklund, and Jimmica Collins. As for acting on television, Rachel appeared on TMI Hollywood and The Last Ship while her puppetry credits include Mack & Moxy, The Hollywood Puppet Show, The Chebo, and Doom Patrol. In addition, Appelbaum even produced several projects for the screen like Love on-the-Line, Cassandra's Left Hand, and Love Touch Hate as well as writing Just Seen It. She must have felt excited to perform with a Sesame Street performer on the Buddy film and probably felt the same performing with Patrick and Sean Johnson of Swazzle on Mack & Moxy. I hope she'll get to perform on a Muppet project at some point in the future. Maybe one of the puppeteers on Buddy will suggest to Rachel Appelbaum that she assists the main Muppet performers on their next production, whenever that is. Besides working in show business, she's also a music teacher and working musician where she performed music for many venues and giving lessons to kids. Not every puppeteer gives music lessons you know, and she is one of them that does. Rachel would also be a great addition to GLOP since the company consists of mostly female cast and crew. Appelbaum still performs, puppeteers, and produces for screen today as seen in some upcoming projects listed on IMDb. I'm positive that with all of her skills, she's bound to become a performer for Sesame Street or the Henson Company one of these days. Let's just hope her next project isn't horror-related like Buddy was. Rachel Appelbaum, you are a fantastic performer and very classy at teaching music. Keep on performing and teaching so that you'll become just as famous as your fellow co-performers from all of the projects you've done. You've got the skills and the education, so there will be no problem you can't solve. Nice puppetry and acting skills Rachel. You're a natural Appelbaum!

June Privett is a puppeteer, puppet designer, and builder who is best known for performing on the Baby Einstein videos. She worked alongside her husband Dave Privett on the videos and also at their puppet company PlaySoup, which made the puppets. June and her husband replaced Markie Scholz since more puppets were probably needed during the later video series. Privett appears to have done wonderful as an entertainer for babies since she's done numerous videos until the series ended. Afterwards, she and her husband have been introducing many innovations at PlaySoup such as the Toobie puppets. The two also sell their puppets to people, sort of like Steve Axtell at Axtell Expressions, he also sells puppets for people to use in their acts. Though I wish June Privett would've met a Muppet performer from Sesame Street for they did their own project for babies, Sesame Beginnings. Since 2018, she and her husband sold their company to another couple, Kristofer and Amanda Sommerfeld, two ...

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.
