| # | Fact |
|---|---|
| 1 | Worked on Sesame Street for 42 years until his death. |
| 2 | Daughter Christine Nelson was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis when she was a little girl. Jim Henson may have adjusted the "ceiling" (the limit one gets before paying out of pocket) on the health insurance for his workers, to ensure her many hospital visits would be covered. He also allowed her to cameo with her father - since her dream was to be a movie star. She passed away before seeing herself on screen. The scene is the father and daughter walking through the park ("Look Dad it's a bear", "No Christine, bears wear hats"). |
| 3 | His daughter, Christine Nelson, made a cameo appearance with him in The Great Muppet Caper (1981). |
