@JeffDwoskinShow Just to clarify - I was not an intern during the making of Sam and Friends in the mid-1950s. I was not yet born. I may be old, but I’m not that old. I was an intern in the 1980s.

Dive into the world of Muppetry as Craig Shemin shares the untold stories from his time as an intern with Jim Henson during the making of "Sam and Friends." Listen to me and @craigshemin: buff.ly/3LoZCIZ

Hey! I’m on another podcast!

@DAbruzzoTweets Happy anniversary right back at you, sweetie!!!!

The Smithsonian's official podcast did an episode about Smithsonian residents "Sam and Friends," and they were kind enough to include me.

Have you grabbed your tickets to the discussion with Craig Shemin, author & president of The Jim Henson Legacy? This talk will include rare footage of Sam & Friends, & cover his book about the first television show Jim Henson ever worked on. 🎟️ puppet.org/programs/craig…

I know where I'll be! Join me! Spread the word!

@puppeteerlee Thanks! Glad you liked it!

If you’re looking for a nice summer read then I highly recommend ‘Sam & Friends - The Story of Jim Henson’s First Television Show’ It’s a fascinating read and I found it very inspiring! @CraigShemin #puppets #puppetry #puppeteer #leethompson #leethompsonpuppeteer

Happy "Sam and Friends" Day! On this date, "Sam and Friends" premiered on WRC-TV Washington, D.C. Want to know more? There's a book all about it! bearmanor-digital.myshopify.com/products/sam-a…

@levistahl @DAbruzzoTweets Two problems - The Great Santini had to escape from a box that Orson never would fit into. And Orson Welles could never slip through a kitchen unnoticed.

I’ll be speaking with @NoelMacNeal at @dramabookshop next week. Check it out!

@matthewsoberman @brianjayjones Thank you for the thank you. One of the reasons I wrote @SamFriendsBook was to tell more of Jane's story.

Also, I want to send a massive thank you to @CraigShemin and @brianjayjones for inspiring me with their incredible works, “Sam and Friends: The Story of Jim Henson’s First Television Show” and “Jim Henson: The Biography,” respectively. Be sure to check them out!

This piece has been rolling around in my head for years, and I’m glad I finally got it out into the world. Jane deserved way more credit for the success of the Muppets than she gave herself, and I hope she gets the recognition that she rightfully earned.
