Jim is most famous for his Muppets, his characters, and his monsters .  He is also famous for his Muppet Show.  He is also famous for several movies starring the Muppets.  He is famous for the movie Labyrinth and Dark Crystal.  He is also famous for the TV shows Fraggle Rock and Sesame Street.
	Jim Henson was born on September 24, 1936 in Greenville, Mississipi.  He lived with his mother Betty, father Paul, his older brother Paul, and his grandmother “Dear”.  Growing up was fun.  He went fishing, swimming, horseback riding, and played tennis.  He didn't have a TV so Jim listened to the radio but when Jim was thirteen his parents bought a television set.  Jim got his first job when he was sixteen.  He worked at the local television station.  He was a good student and his best subject was art.  He went to the University of Maryland.
	At the end of his freshman year of college Jim was given his own puppet show, Sam and Friends.  Jim worked all the puppets.  He used a small TV monitor to see what his puppets were doing.  He made a very famous puppet called Kermit the Frog out of an old green coat.  He partnered up with Jane Nebel.  Then they formed Muppets Inc. Then he partnered up with Don Sahlin his future head puppet maker.  Then Jim got a call from a lady saying she wanted him to create a show for kids called Sesame Street.  Then he created the Muppet Show.  After that he created two movies The Dark Crystal and the Labyrinth.  He also created a show called Fraggle Rock.		
	Jim got married to Jane Nebel and has 5 children.  He also drove an expensive car to his college graduation.   The Hensons play a game of croquet every 
Sunday.  Jim's grandmother inspired Jim most.  Jim did the voice of Kermit.
	I admire Jim's characters, his Muppets, his TV shows, and his movies.  I also admire Jim's kindness and his gentleness.  The last thing I admire about Jim is his Kermit the Frog.
