According to IMDB, Shari Lewis puppeteered on 'The Muppet Movie'. Muppet Wiki doesn't mention it. Does anyone know the accuracy of this?

Anyone can edit on IMDb, much like Wikipedia.

IMDb is not the most reliable source of information.

There's like 150+ puppeteers for that finale, right? It's certainly not impossible that she was there, but I feel like we have heard that from her at some point.

TMM seems to have its share of curious legends surrounding it, such as the one that's been disproven that Lisa Henson was one of the contenders in the Miss Bogen County beauty pageant.

What has been confirmed, however, is that not only was Tim Burton one of the puppeteers in the finale, but so was Earl Kress, who has enlightened us on the forum that he performed Ernie.
