Because "voice actors" seems a weird place to put these guys, plus most of the original Henson Workshop mob will be entering their 80s now so they'll be thinking about dropping dead any time soon. You can probably talk about Sesame Street types in here as well, if you must.

The Muppets (and other puppets) It's time to play the music, it's time to light the light...

With Nelson's passing, only Dave Goelz (66) and Frank Oz (68) are still alive out of the five primary muppeteers on the original Muppet Show from the 1970s. All of the secondary performers of any note are still alive AFAIK except for Eren Ozker (who died in 1993), but I can't think of any who are older than Oz. I don't know about the puppet-builders or any of the other backstage folks - some of them could be getting up there, but if they carked it tomorrow how many people would really know their names?

Nice to see that Sid and Marty Krofft (Banana Splits, HR Pufnstuf, various other druggy kids stuff) are still with us at 83 and 75 respectively.
Got me thinking about all that weird 50s/60s foreign dubbed stuff like the Flashing Blade and the Singing Ringing Tree. Not relevant to the DL, of course. Just reminiscing, as old people tend to do.

Here's a penny for your thoughts; incidentally, you may keep the change

You must be ages with me then? I loved the flashing blade.(Well, the theme song anyway)
This is true my form is something odd,
But blaming me is blaming God;
Could I create myself anew
I would not fail in pleasing you.

All I remember of the Flashing Blade was the re-dubbed versions on a kids programme in the late-80s.

Heaven's on the pillow, its silence competes with hell
It's a twenty-four hour service, guaranteed to make you tell
And the streets are full of press men
Bent on getting hung and buried
And the legendary curtains are drawn 'round Baby Bankrupt
Who sucks you while you're sleeping
It's the theatre of financiers
Count them, fifty 'round a table
White and dressed to kill."

Sure it wasn't the late 70's? Probably a repeat...

Well, this is a big one!

This started it all.
