Biography
Lisa Marie Henson (born May 9, 1960) is an American television and film producer involved in television shows such as Sid the Science Kid. She is the CEO of The Jim Henson Company, founded by her parents, Jim and Jane Henson. Henson was born in Westchester County, New York and attended Byrum Hill High School. She is the daughter and the oldest child of puppeteers Jane (née Nebel; 1934–2013) and Jim Henson(1936–1990), and she has four younger siblings: Cheryl (born 1961), Brian (born 1963), John(1965–2014), and Heather Henson (born 1970). Henson has an undergraduate degree from Harvard University, where she studied ancient Greek and folklore mythology. In 1982, while at Harvard, Henson was elected president of The Harvard Lampoon, the first woman to serve in this position. In comedy, she was known for her visual representation of humour and art parody. Starting in 1983, Henson worked at Warner Bros., where she was first an executive assistant. By 1991, she was promoted to executive vice president. In 1993, Henson was named president of worldwide production at Columbia Pictures. Before this, her work was on the production of movies such as Lethal Weapon and the Batman films. She has also served on the Harvard Board of Overseers. As of 2024, Henson is the CEO of The Jim Henson Company. In 2012, she joined other companies that sought to avoid connections with Chick-fil-A due to their opposition to gay marriage.
