I've read that Jim Henson was such an unbelieveably kind person. But, were there ever times when he became really cross?

I think in The Great Performances "World of Jim Henson", Jerry Nelson talks about Jim getting upset with him. I guess Jerry was upset that he didn't have but one line in an episode of The Muppet Show and threw a little Hissy Fit. Jim called Jerry into his office and reemed him out, telling him he was never to do that again.

That's the only story I know of where Jim lost his temper.

Acutally Jerry talked about Jim's temper in the book "Jim Henson: The works the art, the magic, the imagination" by Christopher Finch. I wonder how Jim felt about his separation from Jane in 1986?

Someone on YesterdayLand's board says that he once tried to talk to Jim Henson somewhere, and Jim got angry and yelled "Get the **** away from me, kid! I'm busy!" at him...however, this guy is NOT a fan of the Muppets, and in fact hates them, so I think it may be fabricated...

Lemme straighten ya out, Nate...

Actually, Jerry had nothin' in that episode of TMS to do at all, quietly got up, threw his script in the trash can, and walked out.

But Jim didn't "reem him out" as you said. He called Jerry into his office later, and said quietly: "Don't you ever do that again."

And Mr. Bad Boy Nelson learned his lesson. LOL!

That's the real story from the book.

They were indeed seperated. I don't think they were planning on getting a divorice, but they were seperated. I don't really know details.
