MISS PIGGY JOINS HER MUPPET FAMILY
A Miss Piggy Muppet, that was used on "The Muppet Show," is shown during a
ceremony to donate additional Jim Henson memorabilia to the Smithsonian’s
National Museum of American History in Washington,
WASHINGTON (AP) – Miss Piggy is finally joining her love, Kermit the Frog, in the Smithsonian Institution’s collection of Jim Henson’s Muppets, and Bert and Ernie
will have a place in history, too.
Henson’s daughter, Cheryl Henson, donated more than 20 puppets and props
Tuesday to the National Museum of American History. The donation included
Miss Piggy and some of her co-stars from "The Muppet Show" including Fozzie
Bear,
The museum says Miss Piggy will go on display in March 2014 in the museum’s "American Stories" exhibit. The original Kermit and Cookie Monster will go on
view in November in a special display case.
RARE PHOTO OF PRESIDENT LINCOLN FOUND
An ultra rare photo of Abraham Lincoln (center) taken during the time of his
address at Gettysburg was discovered by a former Disney animator.
FoxNews – Historians rejoiced at the discovery of the second photo ever found of Abraham Lincoln at the Gettysburg address six years ago. The blurry photo was
found by amateur historian John Richter who picked out the president while on
horseback saluting the troops from among a sea of faces (below).
Tuesday morning, with the help of improved technology, former Disney animator Christopher Oakley announced he had found Lincoln in the same crowd — only his Lincoln is a few yards to the right in front of the speaker’s stand. Richter’s Lincoln
is just a top-hat-wearing doppelganger, Oakley says.
Now, historians who once supported Richter’s photo are switching sides and saying Oakley’s photo is the real deal.
