Kermit statue unveiled

In memory of Jim Henson a 12-foot tall statue of Kermit the Frog, dressed as Charlie Chaplin's The Little Tramp, has been mounted on the tower of Henson Studio's front gates in Hollywood. Mayor Richard J. Riordan officially welcomed The Muppets to Hollywood. "There is no better home for the Muppets than in Los Angeles -- the Entertainment Capital of the World." Another major tribute to Henson continues at the Leland Chamber of Commerce, Leland, MS, Henson's hometown, known as "Birthplace of the Frog."
