HensonCo recently asked me to add Lisa Henson's birthplace to her article because it's been misreported elsewhere. I gladly did so and took the opportunity to properly expand the article beyond the quoted press release we had still been using.

While looking for details, I came across an on-screen role that IMDb had credited her for a movie called Ivans xtc. I found the film on a sketchy (but safe) site that may or may not have cut off the film's end credits (or didn't have them in the first place; it's quite low-budget), so I couldn't confirm there (she is credited on screen as a producer in the opening credits). I also didn't want to reach back out to HensonCo because I try not to go through official channels for stuff we can solve on our own.

So, the task of scrubbing through the film was upon me, but I couldn't find her. Without the time on my hands to watch bad movies for small details, I put the word out on Twitter, and @MuppetNo was kind enough to do the dirty work. They found someone who looks like Lisa between the 00:28:46 and 00:29:00 marks, and she's referred to by the character name IMDb credits her as (Margaret, sans Mead). I wasn't super convinced it was indeed her until I went through frame by frame and compared with some photos of her from around that time.

I'm still not 100% on it, I think largely due to the hair. I've got photos of Lisa from 2003-2005, but nothing from 1999/2000 when this would have been filmed. I can't be sure if this was her hairstyle at the time or if she's wearing a wig.

Anyway, just wanted to document this all here in case it came up at some point. โ€”Scott latest?cb=20200820192427 (talk) 17:36, 3 March 2023 (UTC)
