Towards the end of the time she was on the Muppets From Space set, they
called production to a stop and Steve Whitmire and Dave Goelz called
her up on the set of the boarding house dining room in front of the
cast and crew. They gave her a special edition of the Hensonville News
Observer, Baab the Sheep (the puppet she performed), and a bag full of
dolls and character straws and other assorted things. Kristina got her
role in Muppets From Space through the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Her
original request was to be an actress in a Muppet movie, but when Steve
Whitmire and Dave Goelz (two of the main Muppet Performers) gave her a
choice to either act or puppeteer, she chose to puppeteer. And along
came Baab the Sheep. She spent a long time on the set of Muppets From
Space, and had a lot of fun with the Muppet company, but her favorite
people to be around were Steve and Dave. Her favorite Muppet was Rizzo
the Rat (one of Steve Whitmire's characters).
