Post by: kinjo on February 10, 2009, 10:48:09 PM

Story Highlights
Many of Jim Henson's puppets are based on real people

Some puppets were originally made from household items

Count von Count lost his ability to hypnotize people for fear he would scare children

Oscar the Grouch's voice is based on that of an New York cab driver
