Sock’s Appeal! Lisa D’Apolito’s ‘Shari & Lamb Chop’ Doc Acquired By Kino Lorber


The documentary 'Shari & Lamb Chop,' about children's TV pioneer Shari Lewis, has been acquired for North America by Kino Lorber.

But when an injury sidelined her dance aspirations, she channeled her creativity into a passion for ventriloquism, creating the now beloved sock puppet characters Charlie Horse, Hush Puppy and, of course, Lamb Chop.” The release continues, “From her early years of TV success to the crush of her show’s cancellation to her 1990s comeback in her 60s, Lisa D’Apolito’s heartfelt doc charts the life, loves, and career hits and misses of the spunky perfectionist whose talent and perseverance stand as a testament to women’s power and forever changed the landscape of children’s entertainment.” Shari & Lamb Chop is produced by White Horse’s Cassidy Hartmann ( The Apollo) and Nicholas Ferrall ( The Beatles: Eight Days A Week), MoJo’s Morris Ruskin ( Murder in a Small Town), Douglas Warner ( Paul Rodriguez: The Here & Wow), and D’Apolito.
