Biography

Camille Bonora (also known as Camille Kampouris; born May 13, 1956) is a former Muppet performer. She currently serves on the board of BibleMesh online theological studies, as well as a member of the Kairos Journal editorial board.

Bonora, a native of New Jersey, graduated from Catholic University of America, was a member of Phi Beta Kappa and initially worked in musical comedy and improvisational comedy. Bonora was also one of the puppeteers who performed The Muppets from 1985 to 1997. Bonora herself influenced Joey Mazzarino when she taught an improvisation class at Fordham University, and eventually introduced him to Jim Henson. Mazzarino later became the head writer for Sesame Street and also worked on The Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland, Muppets from Space, and Kermit's Swamp Years.

In 1996, she later retired from performing and co-founded the Kairos Journal with her husband Emmanuel A. Kampouris. She serves on its editorial board. The journal is an online tool to assist pastors and church leadership with Biblical references, historical precedents, quotations and writing, and commentary.
