		Henson's father was an agronomist for the US Department of Agriculture, assigned to a station in Leland, Mississippi, and it was there that Henson and his older brother Paul spent their early years.
		Henson's budding artistic talents were encouraged by his maternal grandmother who was herself a skilled painter and seamstress, and she was credited with teaching Henson needlework and soft sculpture techniques in his youth.
		Henson observed that by using the television camera to crop puppeteers from view of the audience, the puppets themselves would no longer be confined to the box-type stages traditionally used to screen operators from view.

	Jim Henson - Muppet Wiki
		Jim Henson (September 24, 1936 - May 16, 1990) is the founder of the Muppets and was the performer behind many of its most famous characters, including Kermit the Frog.
		Jim always felt that puppetry should be for all ages, including adults, and he was frustrated that Sesame left the Muppets pigeonholed as a children's act.
		Jim created another innovation starting with The Muppet Show: from now on, all productions would be platformed up, so that humans could move about freely on platforms and interact convincingly with the puppets, while the puppeteers could remain easily hidden, and move about their environment with even greater fluidity than before.
