     Lewis and her puppets have been entertaining millions of children and
their parents for more than 30 years, and, in that time, she has received
honors in virtually every creative pursuit.
     An accomplished actress, producer, orchestra conductor, recording
artist, ventriloquist, puppeteer and author, she has set the standard for
family-oriented entertainment around the world. She has performed at the
White House for Presidents Reagan, Carter, Bush and Clinton and has given
four command performances for the queen of England.
     Lewis' break in show business came in 1952, when she won the Arthur
Godfrey Talent Scout TV Show. Five years later, she introduced Lamb Chop on
the Captain Kangaroo Show, an appearance which led to her own television
program.
     In 1992, Lewis brought her brand of child's play to a second
generation of youngsters in Lamb Chop's Play-Along.
     Her honors include a Peabody Award, the John F. Kennedy Center Award
for Excellence and Creativity, two American Video Conference Awards, a
Parents' Choice Award and the prestigious Action for Children's Television
Award. She also has won nine Emmys, including two in a row as outstanding
performer for her current series Lamb Chop's Play-Along. In 1993, she also
received the Emmy for outstanding writing in a children's series.
