A definite highlight of this year was discussing the compelling documentary Shari and Lambchop with Mallory Lewis and director Lisa D’Apolito (Love, Gilda).  The film chronicles Shari Lewis’ life and her constant reinvention  across a variety of roles—TV show host, magician, dancer, singer,  actress, author, and even symphony conductor. 

Featuring archival footage  and interviews, this documentary uncovers the multifaceted talent of Shari Lewis, including her work as a feminist, philosopher, and  visionary in children’s television. Sesame Street’s Megan Piphus Peace  provides a generational perspective on Shari Lewis’ enduring influence  and creative genius.
