Jim Henson would have been 73 years old, Steve Whitmire is 50. Jim Henson performed Kermit for 35 years, Steve Whitmire has performed him for 19.
I had planned a big, long, essay-like article about Jim and Steve, but then I remembered possibly the best piece of advice Jim Henson ever gave: "Simple is good."
So, in honor of Jim Henson, today's Mindset is simple. Pictures of Jim and pictures of Steve. Enjoy!
Remember to celebrate today in your own special way. Wear a Sesame Street t-shirt, tell a bad joke, wave your arms around and shout "YAAAAY!", sing, dance, or just make people happy. It's what Jim would've wanted, and it's the legacy that Steve has dedicated his career to preserving.

ReplyDeleteHey cool, you used one of the pics I took of Steve and Kermit at the London Marathon!

That's stunning. A beautiful collection of pictures (some of which seem totally unique to me!). It tells a beautiful story, too, in images rather than words. Happy Birthday Steve, Happy Birthday Jim.

I didn't realized today is Jim's and Steve's birthday. I picked the right day to get the new Muppet comic books. Happy Birthday, Kermit!
