This episodes Muppet Fact: "Frank Oz is famously known as the voice of Miss Piggy, and as some method actors do, he created a backstory of Miss Piggy’s childhood. Here’s a direct quote from Frank Oz in 1979 to The New York Times on Miss Piggy’s backstory:

“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."
