My book Funny Boy , the biography of gay Muppet performer Richard Hunt, began as a labor of love — as well it should have. They were part of the very fabric of my life I even slept on Kermit-print sheets. I rediscovered the Muppets about twenty years later when I was living in Brooklyn, trying to find my footing as an independent adult.

Once or twice a week, my next door neighbor Effie and I would eat dinner together, watch The Muppet Show and laugh our heads off. But now, I noticed the vast amounts of effort and illusion that brought these puppets so vividly to life. One performer Richard Hunt in particular grabbed my attention. He played most of my favorite characters, a broad range of personalities from young, eager Scooter to old, jaded Statler; groovy, laid-back Janice to squeaking, freaked-out Beaker; huge, gruff Sweetums to an early version of queenly Miss Piggy, and so many more.

Yet, various as they were, his characters all carried a certain sensibility, his own individual stamp. Or had I? I loved the detail of the orange juice, like a kid on a happy, sugary buzz. Who was this playful, exuberant character? Who was this guy? I was shocked to realize that the peak era of The Muppets was also the peak era of the AIDS epidemic, though these two are rarely thought of together.

I made Frank Oz laugh. Instead of being wary of people, I was curious to get to know them. Instead of hiding at home with a book or an episode of The Muppet Show , this hermit started going out. Later, we married.

Not only was he the secret weapon of The Muppet Show , but he worked on Sesame Street , Fraggle Rock , three major Muppet movies, a handful of short-lived shows, countless specials and even a couple of non-Muppet films.
