This week the guest star is Lena Horne so of course we're talking nullification! But only briefly before moving on to Horne's long, successful career as a musician and actor. Horne, not unlike previous guest star Rita Moreno, was a colossal talent who struggled to make a career for herself in Hollywood where black and hispanic performers were treated like second class citizens. In this episode Horne, again not unlike Moreno, appears totally at home working with the Muppets and gives an endearing performance, especially in her interactions with two of its more forlorn cast members in Gonzo and Fozzie.
Next Week: Peter Ustinov
