Dark Crystal came out when I was about seven/eight
Okay, now I'm really feeling old. I was 30 or 31. =:-O
So now you have a friend more than whimper 20 years older than you are. Ah, so now I know what age you're approaching.
Yeah, Jim was way cool. I'm so awfully lucky to have worked with him, even if mostly long distance. I was assistant to the producer/story editor on "Jim Henson's Muppet Babies" back in the mid-80s and we worked with Jim a lot as he had approval on every script. I'll always remember hearing that bit of "Kermit" in his voice when he'd call, and that he took his tea with two sugars, no milk.
After the show wrapped, HA! hosted a party for all of us who'd worked on the series, at a Beverly Hills restaurant, Ed Debevik's and we got a private performance from Jim and Frank Oz. It was amazing, the way both of them didn't disappear, and we were always aware they were there, but they made Fozzie, Miss Piggy, and Kermit absolutely real too. One of my most precious memories. I keep the small Kermit clock that was part of my gift package on my desk, remembering the "old days."
