Influential
prevnextJim Henson (via @TheMuppets ) added so much to my life. I learned about kindness, comedy, storytelling, humor, irony, music, movies… the list goes on and on. I wouldn’t be the person I am today without his endless inspiration. Happy Birthday, Jim. https://t.co/ytdSQJLdZH

Legacy
prevnextI never met Jim Henson. Most of the Muppet Performers I now work with never met him either, yet we carry on his legacy and draw inspiration from him every time we perform. Thank you, Jim, for everything. #september24 #jimhenson #muppets #sesamestreet #muppetperformer #legacy
