Appearances of Jim Henson's children - Cheryl, Brian, Lisa, John, and Heather - as kids in Muppet/Henson productions.
| “ | My father liked to do everything – or at least a lot of the stuff – himself. Like the building work, and yard work, and landscaping... all of that. So we used to do a lot of that. It was a pretty creative house, though. He used to have all of us kids mosaic a bathroom when we were real young – all under 10. I remember we painted the kitchen, and each one of us painted a cabinet. He also used to make those insert films for Sesame Street in the house on the weekends. So we used to be helping with his work and helping around the house – it was all sort-of one big thing to us. | ” |
