<P> In a 1979 interview with The New York Times, performer Frank Oz outlined Piggy's biography: "She grew up in a small town in Iowa; her father died when she was young, and her mother wasn't that nice to her . She had to enter beauty contests to survive, as many single women do . She has a lot of vulnerability which she has to hide, because of her need to be a superstar ." During development of The Muppet Show, Oz assigned a hook for each Muppet he performed; Miss Piggy's hook was a "truck driver wanting to be a woman". Oz has also stated that while Fozzie Bear is a two - dimensional character, and Animal has no dimensions, Miss Piggy is one of the few Muppet characters to be fully realized in three dimensions . </P> <P> Piggy is convinced she is destined for stardom, and nothing will stand in her way . She has a capricious nature, at times determined to convey an image of feminine charm, but suddenly flying into a violent rage (accompanied by her trademark karate chop and "hi - yah!") whenever she thinks someone has insulted or thwarted her . Kermit the Frog has learned this all too well; when she isn't smothering him in kisses, she's sending him flying through the air with a karate chop . </P> <P> Since the debut of The Muppet Show, the romantic relationship between Miss Piggy and Kermit the Frog has been subject to substantial coverage and commentary by the media . Throughout The Muppet Show's run, Miss Piggy's romantic pursuit for Kermit was consistently expressed . Kermit, however, constantly rebuffed Piggy's feelings . Eventually, in the films, Kermit began returning her affections and even (unwittingly) marries her in The Muppets Take Manhattan . However, subsequent events suggest that the marriage was simply fictional . It is mentioned by Miss Piggy, however, in The Muppets: A Celebration of 30 years (1986) that Kermit was a happily - married frog . This marriage isn't referenced in Muppets Most Wanted and the two get married again in this film . </P> <P> Miss Piggy and Kermit formally ended their romantic relationship on May 10, 1990 . The decision was made by Jim Henson Productions and a publicity campaign titled "The Pig of the Nineties" was scheduled to follow . An autobiography of Piggy was expected to be published as part of the effort . However, shortly after the announcement on May 16, Jim Henson died and the campaign was dropped altogether . The two eventually resumed their relationship . </P>
