Mary Louise is made from the Grump puppet, wearing a wig and a blouse. She first appeared in the At the Dance sketches in episodes 114 and 115, dancing with the Green Frackle in the background.

She was given her name in episode 121, where she danced with Kermit.

In episode 204, she was one of the few people to get the best of Animal. As they danced, she said "Tell me if I'm holdin' ya too tight. I said, tell me if I'm holdin' ya too tight!" When she released him from her grip, he fell to the floor. "Now ya tell me," she grunted.

She has been performed by Jim Henson (episode 121), Frank Oz (episode 204), and Kathryn Mullen (episode 413).
