== History ==
Sally Lewis was introduced to Residents, Uninc. by mutual friend Diane Flynn.Hardy Fox, "The early 1970s", Hacienda Bridge no. 10, February 14th 2017 Lewis was in attendance at Philip "Snakefinger" Lithman's infamous 1971 wedding; the top layer of the wedding cake had been dosed with LSD,"...I attended Snakefinger's Green Card Wedding, which is probably not to the same woman who married him in London and had a child (or children)... This was a time of my life when psychedelics were used by me and most of my friends, and... the wedding cake was dosed, but only the top layer, and I recall there was an announcement so no one would accidentally dose themselves... I was sitting in the hayloft, so I was a good view of the destruction of the cake by a small pack of dogs. They ate much of that dosed layer and ran around madly the rest of the day." - Bob Doran, The Residents unofficial Facebook group, April 10th 2019 and Lewis is reported to have "freaked out" during the reception.Randy Rose, "Residents History - Part 22 (continued)", Maurice and Me, 2013
In mid-1972, Lewis joined the cast of Residents, Uninc.'s feature film Vileness Fats as the immortal Native American princess Weescoosa. The film was shot (mostly on videotape) intermittently by the group on a self-constructed soundstage in the ground floor of their Sycamore Street studio between 1972 and 1976, before being abandoned and left unfinished.
In 1974, Lewis performed the minor role of "Young Girl" in The Residents' operetta Not Available. Her vocals appear on the opening track of the resulting 1978 studio album, "Edweena". 
Following the cancellation of Vileness Fats in 1976, Lewis began to work behind the scenes with Ralph Records. Her last noted work with The Residents was at the merchandise stand at the group's debut tour, The Mole Show, in 1982 and 1983. 
In 1979, she performed vocals on stage with Snakefinger, on the song 'Magic & Ecstasy'.Hardy Fox, "Other people with vaginas who have also helped", Hacienda Bridge no. 10, February 14th 2017
A handful of scenes Lewis shot for Vileness Fats were included in the 1984 VHS featurette Whatever Happened To Vileness Fats?.
