Jane Henson (1934-2013)

Post by Disneyphile »

Jane Nebel Henson, who partnered with her husband Jim Henson to launch the Muppets and worked to preserve his artistic legacy, died April 2 of cancer in Conn. She was 78.

Born in Queens, N.Y., she met Jim Henson in a puppetry class at the U. of Maryland, and began working with him as a performer, puppet designer and builder when they were offered a spot on WRC-TV in Washington, D.C. while they were still undergraduates.

This is sad. But, I can see her and Jim Henson reunite in heaven. :wink:
