The SHARI LEWIS Only I Knew

THE DAUGHTER OF THE FAMED CHILDREN'S TV HOST SHARES WARM MEMORIES OF HER AMAZING MOM

As a little girl, Mallory Lewis sometimes received visits from Lamb Chop before bed. “I could tell Lamb Chop anything. I could tell her I lost my new white sweater at school, and Lamb Chop never tattled on me once,” Mallory tells Closer.

The daughter of Shari Lewis, who brought Lamb Chop and other puppets to vivid life for generations of children, is featured in a new documentary on her mother’s life, early success and comeback in the 1990s. “Her story really is the underdog story,” notes Shari & Lamb Chop director Lisa D’Apolito to Closer.
