Did Eren Ozkar ever perform Mildred?

Did Eren ozkar ever perform Mildred? In Mildreds bio in the featured creature section of the old Henson.com, her performer is listed as Eren ozkar. The muppet morsels on the first season DVD also refer to Eren performing her a few times: on the morsels for the Charles Aznavour episode it says that she has been performed by Eren Ozkar, Frank Oz and Richard Hunt, and in thge Mummenshaz episode the morsels state that Eren Ozkar was her regular performer, when Frank Oz was actually her regular performer on The Muppet Show (Although Frank only performed her voice in all of the first season 'at the dance" sketches, most of her speaking parts on the muppet show were in at the dance). Richard Hunt performed her in The Muppet Valentine Show and the muppet show episodes with Joel Grey and Charles Aznavour (and the albums Muppet Hits and Muppet Hits Take 2 both credit Richard Hunt as her performer when Frank oz actually performed her more times), Dave Goelz performed her in the discussion panel sketch in the candace bergan episode, and Louise Gold performed her in the episodes with Rich Little and pearl bailey.

So, was this a mistake, or did Eren ozkar perform her in some other production? Maybe Eren performed her in a Muppet meeting Film (if eren ozkar performed in the muppet meeting films) or in some obscure talk show or variety show appearance. Or maybe Eren performed her but never provided the voice (I guess she could have performed Mildred in the "Dance The Old fashioned way" number from the Charles Aznavour episode, but last time I checked the episode guide at Muppet central she didn't perform her in that episode).

Does anybody know?

Eren never performed Mildred. Frank Oz performed her, as did Richard Hunt, Dave Goelz, and Louise Gold.

You're right. Here's a TP quote:

-- Mildred was originally performed by Richard Hunt in The Muppet Valentine Show. During the first season of The Muppet Show, she was alternately performed by Richard Hunt (panel discussion sketches) and by Frank Oz (At the Dance sketches), and she's performed by Dave Goelz in one episode (the Candice Bergen panel discussion sketch). Louise Gold performed Mildred in the second season (Rich Little ep) -- which was actually part of Gold's audition for The Muppet Show -- and in the third season (Pearl Bailey ep).

Actually, i never said that she was in a muppet meeting film. I haven't seen any of the muppet meeting films (unless you count the muppet show pitch tape as a meeting film), so i wouldn't know.

As for that Tough Pigs quote, there have been some characters whose performers haven't even been acknowledged. For example, it mentions that Shakey Shanchez was performed by Jim Henson (vincent price episode) and Steve Whitmire (glenda jackson episode), but doesn't mention that he was also performed by Jerry Nelson (avery schriver episode). On a similar note, while it mentions that lenny The Lizard has been performed by both Jim Henson (rich little episode) and Richard Hunt (Steve martin episode) it does not mention that he was performed by either Dave Goelz (joel grey episode) or Jerry nelson (florence henderson epsiode).

That tough pigs quote is also interesting for the fact that it says Mildred was performed by Richard Hunt in panel discussion sketches, and by dave Goelz in the candace bergan episode, becasue Richard Hunt only performed her in one panel discussion sketch (the one that dave goelz didn't perform in). And while in his "my week with the muppet show" article on the candace bergan episode, he constantly complaisn about Frank oz and Richard Hunt switching Miss Piggy throughout the episode, and that only the really minor characters have alternate performers, and they didn't change throughout the epsiodes. But in that same episode, Frank oz performed Mildred in the at the dance sketch which was shown right before the panel sketch in which Mildred is performed by Dave Goelz. Danny Horn also used Droop as an example of minor characters who alternate their performers, but that episode is the only one where his voice is not performed by Jerry nelson. Also, Boppity was performed by both Frank oz (interrogation sketch) and Dave Goelz (at the dance) in the ruth buzzi epsiode, and Gloat was performed by both jim henson (at the dance) and Frank oz (caberet) in the joel grey episode.
