Before they were stars

[Crazy Harry]

The short talk on the Roger Robit DVD thread about how some toons might have been around long before they got their big break got me thinking. If some of the modern Muppets were working for JHC before they were first seen one TV or movies, what were they doing?

Example, Pepe and Seymore might have been working in the company caffeteria before they got a role on MT as characters who do the exact same thing.

Well, what Miss Piggy was doing before stardom has already been defined, by Frank Oz himself. The biography is summarized in the book "Of Muppets and Men." Miss Piggy had a hard childhood, losing her father early. She had to struggle to get to the top, even posing for bacon ads. Another version with much the same info can be found at http://savoycinemas.co.uk/bios/misspiggy/bio.phtml
