THE MUPPET MOVIE, 1979
Good ol' Jim [Henson]. I sure miss him. My first trip to New York City was to work on The Muppet Movie. I met with Frank Oz and we had a photo session with Piggy and Kermit. It was the greatest experience ever. It was like a dream, what you would want Hollywood to be. From then on, Jim said, I was the only one he would allow to paint the Muppets while he was alive, because I made them look how he wanted, like real people.
