Is There A Frank Oz Website?

[JimmyDeanDog]

Anyone know if there is a website for our
beloved Puppetmaster Wizard Oz?

..and is that the man's REAL name?...

From what nationality would "OZ" come from?

His full name is Richard Frank Oznowicz, and no; nobody's really done a Frank Oz site yet. Whoever does would have quite the undertaking as I would expect his directing career to be covered as well.

Oz with Henson

Thanks for that response...

You know, I believe the Muppets wouldn't BE the Muppets without Frank. It was the perfect match-up when Henson found him.

Miss Piggy, Fozzie, Grover, Bert, Cookie Monster, etc...

What a versatile performer this man truly is!

A Frank Oz site you say... Hmmmm... That gives me an idea...
*wanders into secret laboratory... shortly comes out to fetch pillow and blanket then walks through lab door again and shuts it loudly.*
I'll be out in four days!!! Call me if I'm needed!

Well, although this isn't exactly a site dedicated to Frank, it's got a load of info about him:

So Frank Oz is Dutch? That is extremely cool
