Alice Dinnean

Alice Dinnean (b. May 23, 1969) is a puppeteer who has performed in many Muppet productions including Sesame Street and Bear in the Big Blue House. She's sometimes credited as Alice Dinnean-Vernon.

Years later, after a prestigious internship at the Center for Puppetry Arts in Atlanta, Georgia, she auditioned for The Jim Henson Company. Dinnean-Vernon also studied art and creative writing.

She has also puppeteered for several non-Muppet television shows and films, including Men in Black II, Jack's Big Music Show,, Bunnytown, The Country Bears, Crank Yankers, Team America: World Police, Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel.
