Program Description: Coming of age can be difficult but is always more bearable when you have someone who connects with you on a cellular level. Shari Lewis, a children’s television pioneer before Fred Rogers, Jim Henson, and others, was one of those people. She was a dancer, singer, and magician but was best known as the ventriloquist behind sock puppets Charlie Horse, Hush Puppy, and, of course, Lamb Chop. This heartfelt and entertaining doc charts the life, loves, and career hits and misses of the spunky perfectionist who forever changed the face of children’s television.
This screening is a part of the Jewish Film Series at the North Carolina Museum of Art.
