"Follow your enthusiasm. It's something I've always believed in. Find those parts of you life you enjoy the most. Do what you enjoy doing." -Jim Henson Jim Henson was born on the twenty-forth day of September in the year 1936 in a small town in Mississippi. Around 1946, Henson left Mississippi with his family and moved to a small suburb of Washington DC. During high school, Henson started performing with puppets for a television station (WTOP). He then attended college and (along with one of his classmates, Jane Nebel) started working for an NBC subsidiary television company performing his own puppets on a magazine show. These puppets, which Henson called 'Muppets,' became very popular and soon received their own air time with the show of his own creation, "Sam and Friends" (1955-1961). It is during this time that Henson marries Jane Nebel (1959). After "Sam and Friends" Henson began to pursue past interests, particularly film. In 1964, Henson created the Academy-nominated Timepiece . A surreal film regarding time in which Henson wrote, directed, produced and starred in. He also made

A BIOGRAPHY OF JIM HENSON Courtesy of the Jim Henson Company Jim Henson was born at King’s Daughters Hospital in Greenville, Mississippi on September 24, 1936, the second son of Paul and Betty Henson. Jim spent his early years in Leland, MS. where his father had an assignment with the U.S. Department of Agriculture. He remembered spending countless happy hours, alone and with friends, exploring the shorelines of Deer Creek, not far from his parents’ house. Throughout his childhood, Jim Henson had an interest in both art and television. Young Jim was particularly close to his maternal grandmother and visited her often at the family home in Maryland. As an avid painter, quilter, and needleworker, she was supportive of his artistic efforts and encouraged him to use his imagination and to take delight in the world around him. When Jim was in the fifth grade, the Henson family returned to Maryland where Jim, often with his older brother Paul, experimented with a variety of artistic techniques. In 1954, while still in high school, he began his television career performing puppets on a local Washington, DC Saturday morning program on WTOP-TV. The following year, as a freshman at the University of Maryland, he was given his own twice-daily, five-minute show, Sam and Friends, on the local NBC affiliate, WRC-TV. Jim's first performing partner was Jane Nebel, whom he met at the University, and who later became his wife. Sam and Friends introduced many Muppet mainstays—music, snarky humor and technical tricks. The show also featured an early version of Kermit the Frog, who later became the most famous Muppet of all.

Jim Henson at Maryland In 1954, Jim Henson (Class of'60) enrolled at the University of Maryland and began to take studio art classes there, thinking that he might eventually become a commercial artist. A good deal of his artwork from the period has survived, and it indicates that Jim had a lively visual imagination, a considerable facility with color, and an impeccable eye for detail. The strong, simple images he produced anticipated the effective simplification of the puppets he would later design. An example of his early work was Kermit (and "Sam and Friends"), designed in 1955.

Jim and Jane's marriage in 1959 In September of 1954, when Jim was still a freshman, he met Jane Nebel in a puppetry class at the University. She would become his first important performing partner, eventually his wife, and her role would be crucial to the evolution of the first phase of Jim's career.
