Norman Frederick Hetherington (29 May 1921 – 6 December 2010) was an Australian artist, teacher, cartoonist (known as "Heth"), puppeteer, and puppet designer. He is best remembered as the creator of one of Australia's longest running children's shows ''Mr. Squiggle''. Hetherington was the sole operator and voice of its star performer, the Mr. Squiggle marionette. ==Family== He was the son of Frederick Hetherington (1883–1951) and Ellen Mary Hetherington (1888–1976) (née Markwell). They were married at Balmain in 1918, and Norman Frederick Hetherington was born on 29 May 1921 in Lilyfield. He grew up at 35 Meryla Street, Burwood. He did his primary schooling from Burwood Public School (1927- 1933), and secondary schooling from at Sydney's Fort Street Boys' High School (1934-1937). He studied art, full-time, at East Sydney Technical College (now known as the National Art School), from 1937–1938; and, because he had taken a position with one of Sydney's largest advertising agencies, Lintas (Lever International Advertising), he transferred to part-time studies, studying at night from 1939 to 1941 (when he enlisted in the army). In 1958, he married Margaret (née Purnell); she would later write the scripts for all episodes of ''Mr. Squiggle''. They moved to the Sydney suburb of Mosman in 1960, and Hetherington remained there until his death.〔(Mr. Squiggle: Who's Pulling the Strings? ), Mosman Festival, 3 September 2005.〕 The couple's children are Stephen (1959-), an academic philosopher,〔(Professor Stephen Hetherington, School of Humanities and Languages, Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, University of New South Wales. ); (Stephen, at the age of 10, assisting his father. )〕 and Rebecca (1962-), a television presenter, (who also co-hosted Mr. Squiggle) and one time associate producer on radio 2UE.〔(MacPherson, D., "Antenna to rival Simon Townsend", ''The Guide'', ''The Sydney Morning Herald'', (Monday, 12 March 1984), p.6. ); (Bone, P., "Something New for the Young", ''The Green Guide'', ''The Age'', (Thursday, 3 September 1987), p.7. )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Norman Hetherington」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
