- Jane Ann Henson is the widow of puppeteer Jim Henson. Born Jane Ann Nebel and raised in New York, she met Henson while both were freshmen at the University of Maryland, College Park. They worked together on the live fifties television show Sam and Friends, where Jane collaborated with Jim in performing Muppets and devising several of the show's technical innovations, including the use of television monitors to watch their performances in real time. When, in the late fifties, Jim took a year off from Sam and Friends to travel in Europe, Jane ran the show, with the help of a UMD classmate. Though they were romantically uninvolved for the first few years of Sam and Friends, Jim and Jane eventually began dating and were married in 1959. Their first child, Lisa, was born the next year, followed by four others: Cheryl (b. 1961), Brian (b. 1962), John (b. 1965) and Heather (b. 1970. ) When Jane quit full-time muppeteering in the early sixties to raise their children, Jim hired Jerry Juhl and Frank Oz to replace her. She helped the newly-hired Oz learn how to lip-sync, and continued to perform non-speaking muppets on Sesame Street from time to time through at least the eighties. She was also responsible for the hiring of puppeteer Steve Whitmire in 1978, after he gave her an impromptu audition in an Atlanta, Georgia airport restaurant. She and Jim separated in 1986, although they remained close until his death in 1990. In 1992, Jane established The Jim Henson Legacy to preserve and perpetuate the work of her late husband. She currently serves on the boards of the Jim Henson Foundation and the American Center for Children's Television.
- Jane Ann (Jane) Henson (meisjesnaam Nebel) is een voormalig poppenspeelster en de weduwe van Muppet-bedenker Jim Henson. Ze groeide op in New York. Zij en Jim Henson ontmoetten elkaar tijdens lessen poppenspel op de Universiteit van Maryland te College Park. Jim vroeg haar om mee te werken aan zijn ophanden zijnde poppenprogramma Sam and Friends, waaraan zij samen werkten gedurende zijn gehele loop van 1955 tot en met 1961. Hoewel ze geen relatie hadden toen het populaire televisieprogramma begon, kregen de twee geleidelijk aan gevoelens voor elkaar en ze trouwden in 1959. Lisa, hun eerste kind, werd een jaar later geboren, gevolgd door vier andere: Cheryl (1961), Brian (1962), John (1965) en Heather (1970). Nadat Jane minder ging werken om zich op het opvoeden van de kinderen te storten, huurde Jim nieuwe poppenspelers in om haar plaats te vervangen, namelijk Frank Oz en Jerry Juhl. Ze hielp mee met Oz aanleren om de mondbewegingen van een pop gelijk te laten lopen met zijn stem. In de jaren daarna werkte ze op kleine schaal mee aan Sesamstraat en The Muppet Show. Jane was degene die Steve Whitmires eerste auditie afnam in een restaurant in diens woonplaats Atlanta. Ze vond zijn poppenspel niet uitmuntend, maar liet hem naar New York komen voor een tweede auditie omdat hij zo goed met kinderen overweg kon met gebruikmaking van zijn poppen. Whitmire werd uiteindelijk de speler van Jim Hensons belangrijkste personage Kermit de Kikker. In 1992, twee jaar na Jim Hensons dood, richtte Jane de Jim Henson Legacy op om het werk van wijlen haar man te behouden en voort te zetten. Daarnaast zit zij in het bestuur van de Jim Henson Foundation en het American Center for Children's Television.
