What Are Your Jim Henson Favorites?
Creator of the Muppets, graduate of University of Maryland, would have been 75 years old Saturday.
Jim Henson, famous Muppet creator and possibly one of the most creative entertainers and entrepreneurs, would have been 75 years old this past Saturday.
Soon after starting his bachelor's education at the University of Maryland, Henson created Sam and Friends, which aired live on WRC-TV, Washington, D.C. and included an early version of Kermit the Frog.
Henson went on to graduate from UMd. in 1960, and eventually moved on to create the Muppets.
