Jim Henson was born September 24, 1936, and went on to create some of the most influential creative programming that exists and inspires generations to this day. Jim Henson was the lead on the colorful Muppet portion of Sesame Street and went on to create titles of his very own. Henson went on to create The Muppets empire with television shows, movies, and even Disney attractions that still exist to this day. You can even get a deeper insight into what Jim Henson was like to work with on a professional level in the documentary Muppet Guys Talking that was released earlier this year.
