Miss
Piggy is
a Muppet character primarily played by Frank Oz. In 2001 Eric
Jacobson began performing her, although Oz has not been
officially replaced.
She
began as a minor character in The
Muppet Show TV
series, but gradually developed into one of the central
characters of the show.
She
is a pig who is absolutely convinced she is destined for stardom
and nothing is going to stand in her way. Her public face tries
to be the soul of feminine charm, but can instantly fly into a
violent rage whenever she thinks she's insulted or thwarted.
Kermit the Frog has learned this all too well since he is the
usual target for her karate chops. When she isn't sending him
flying through the air, she is often smothering him in (unwanted)
kisses.
Eventually
in the films, Kermit started returning her affections and
(unwittingly) married her in The
Muppets Take Manhattan -
although subsequent events suggest that it was only their
characters in the movie that married, and that their relationship
is really the same as ever.
Miss
Piggy has a pet poodle, Foo-Foo.
It
is said that Jim Henson based the character of Miss Piggy on the
American actress Loretta Swit; others have noted the similarity
of her name to the stage name of Miss Peggy Lee.
