After stealing some key scenes in 1979’s The Muppet Movie and going from a background puppet to one of the key stars of The Muppet Show, Miss Piggy was ready for a starring role in the Muppets’ second theatrical outing, The Great Muppet Caper. In the film, Kermit and Fozzie Bear play investigative reporters looking into a jewel heist, while Piggy plays the receptionist for fashion mogul Lady Holiday. When Kermit mistakes her for Lady Holiday, Piggy doesn’t correct him and continues to deceive Kermit for much of the movie.
