How tall is Jim Henson?

Jim Henson was born on September 24, 1936, in Greenville, Mississippi, USA. The first one was his work on The Jimmy Dean Show (1963) with the character Rowlf the Dog, the oldest clearly identified character that Henson Productions still uses. This show provided an income that allowed Jim to work on a pet project. That project was Time Piece (1965). Henson shot to prominence when he was approached to use his muppets for the revolutionary educational show Sesame Street (1969. He developed a variety show format that had the kind of sophisticated humor that "Sesame Street (1969)" didn't work with. No American broadcaster was interested, but British producer Lew Grade was. This led to The Muppet Show (1976).
