Shari Lewis

Shari Lewis , born Sonia Phyllis Hurwitz, was an American writer and performer best known for her puppet character "Lamb Chop" in several children's television shows and specials including Lamb Chop's Play-Along which aired on PBS from 1992 to 1997. Lewis wrote the third season episode , with her second husband Jeremy Tarcher.
According to the recollection of Jan Shutan, regarding the role of Mira Romaine, "I think Shari Lewis was supposed to get the part; she wrote it for herself. When I went in to interview, Shari was there. I didn't know she had written it or was up for it, and I got it right away." (, pp. 58-59)
In 1995, she appeared as herself (and Lamb Chop) in an episode of The Nanny, which co-starred Daniel Davis.
