For almost half a century, celebrated ventriloquist and entertainer
Shari Lewis delighted generations of children and adults with the
help of her trusted sock puppet sidekick Lamb Chop. For decades,
the beloved pair were synonymous with children's television,
educating and entrancing their young audience with their symbiotic
personalities and their proclivity for song, dance, and the joy of
silliness. But as iconic as their television personas were,
relatively little inside knowledge has been revealed about Lewis
herself and the life-changing moments that led her to the
entertainment industry and perhaps, most importantly, to Lamb Chop.
Renowned for her skills as a performer, Lewis was an equally
skilled businesswoman. Operating in an era when women were largely
left out of the conversation, she was one of the few women to run
her own television production company. Whether it was singing,
dancing, conducting, writing, drawing, or ventriloquism-a skill in
which she was virtually unmatched face=Calibri>- Lewis spent the
entirety of her 65 years in pursuit of performative perfection.
Constantly innovating and adapting to the needs of her audience and
the market, Lewis extended the longevity of her career decade after
decade. Her contributions, and that of Lamb Chop, and the rest of
her puppet pals forever changed the history of children's
television. Now, two decades after Lewis and Lamb Chop last graced
television with their presence, Lewis' daughter Mallory and author
Nat Segaloff have set the record straight about the iconic pair in
Shari Lewis and Lamb Chop: The Team that Changed Children's
Television. In this seminal biography, the pair pull the veritable
wool from the eyes of audiences who adored the legendary
entertainer to examine the joys, sorrows, triumphs, and sheer hard
work that gave Lewis and Lamb Chop their enduring star power.
'Wasting more police time' takes us back into the mad world of
British policing for more amazing stories from the front line
against crime.
'Wasting Police Time' is PC David Copperfield's hilarious but
shocking picture of life in a modern British town, where teenage
yobs terrorise the elderly, drunken couples brawl in front of their
children and drug-addicted burglars and muggers roam free.
