Fan Casting Eren Ozker in Muppets by Performer

Eren Ozker (July 25, 1948 - February 25, 1993) was a puppeteer on The Muppet Show during the first season. She most notably originated the characters of Wanda and Hilda, and performed Janice, who had initially been performed by Fran Brill (the role would eventually go to Richard Hunt). She was the only regular female performer on the show during that time. When The Muppet Show received an Emmy Award nomination for Outstanding Comedy-Variety or Music Series, she was named alongside the other regular puppeteers and the producers. Ozker also played several supporting roles in Emmet Otter's Jug-Band Christmas (including Gretchen Fox) and served as an additional performer on The Muppet Movie.
