Daughter
Christine Nelson was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis when she
was a little girl.
Jim Henson may have adjusted the "ceiling" (the
limit one gets before paying out of pocket) on the health insurance for
his workers, to ensure her many hospital visits would be covered. He
also allowed her to cameo with her father - since her dream was to be a
movie star. She passed away before seeing herself on screen. The scene
is the father and daughter walking through the park ("Look Dad it's a
bear", "No Christine, bears wear hats").
