Henson has an undergraduate degree from Harvard University, where she studied ancient Greek and folklore mythology.

In 1982, while at Harvard, Henson was elected president of The Harvard Lampoon, the first woman to serve in this position. In comedy, she was known for her visual representation of humour and art parody.

Starting in 1983, Henson worked at Warner Bros., where she was first an executive assistant. By 1991, she was promoted to executive vice president.
