It wasn’t like we were hanging out, but there were moments that were really, really fun. “I didn’t have that much of a chance to be a fangirl (around Bowie) because I had so much responsibility there was always something I had to do, and I was always working on things. I’m so happy for her that she’s gone on to such a wonderful career,” said McFadden. I worked with her on a few things, and she was wonderfully receptive.

“You can’t always appreciate the skill and art that goes into that work when it’s on the big screen.” “The details in the masquerade costumers were especially impressive when we got close up – like we’ve seen with other movie costumes, such as the recent Marvel exhibit (at The Henry Ford),” she said. Stacey Buchanan, of Saline, and her family attended the Henson Exhibit. “I’ve heard glowing comments from people of all ages who have found things they love there – either related to personal memories or just because Jim Henson’s Muppets have a kind of power over people – the power to make people kinder, happier, nicer to one another. One person said we all need this exhibit right now. I don’t know that anyone can come out of that exhibit without being impressed both by what Henson accomplished during his lifetime, and the impact he and his work still have on us today,” said Donna Braden, The Henry Ford curator of public life.

By the time that film was done, there was so much stuff jammed in and so many people working on puppets – it was incredible.” “I remember walking into the studio and there was nothing there… Everything was empty. That’s how that happened,” recalled McFadden. I knew it was gonna be in England and gonna be nine months of my life. McFadden – who currently hosts the podcast “Gates McFadden InvestiGates” – had previously collaborated with Henson on 1984’s “The Muppets Take Manhattan” and 1985’s “Dreamchild.” I was like, ‘Oh, man, what am I gonna do?
