Mildred Huxtetter is a purple, beak-nosed woman who carries herself with haughty, aristocratic airs. She is very educated, as evidenced by her many appelations, which include BA, MA, PhD, OBE, and RSVP.

Mildred made her debut on The Muppets Valentine Show, where she was performed by Richard Hunt. When she appeared on The Muppet Show, however, she was one of the few main characters whose performer was inconsistent. Although both Mildred's Featured Creature bio at henson.com and the Muppet Morsels on The Muppet Show: Season One DVDs list Eren Ozker as her regular performer, she has no known vocal performances as Mildred.

On the first season of The Muppet Show, all of Mildred's appearances were onstage, most frequently with George the Janitor in At the Dance sketches, where she was performed by Frank Oz. She also danced with Charles Aznavour to "The Old Fashioned Way" in episode 109 and appeared in two panel discussions: in episode 109, where she was performed by Richard Hunt, and in episode 115, where she was performed by Dave Goelz.

Because Mildred was never featured in the first season's backstage plots, no context was given for her appearances on The Muppet Show. Unlike George (the janitor) or Hilda (the seamstress), Mildred did not appear to have a position with the Muppet Theater. Nor did she appear to be a performer like Wanda.

In episode 204, her first appearance on the second season of The Muppet Show, she played a reporter voiced by Louise Gold, who would also perform Mildred in episode 305. Although she would appear in the background on The Muppet Show, The Jim Henson Hour, and several Muppet movies, Mildred would have no further speaking roles. She did, however, serve as the receptionist for Muppet Magazine in the 1980s.
