Talk:Shari Lewis

Praise

Shari Lewis was a true benevolent and will always be missed by those who hold her most dear. Rest in peace. --68.99.18.130 00:28, 29 September 2005 (UTC)

Ironic?

I wanted to put in a link to the MemoryAlpha database and the only reference I can find to Shari Lewis is:Template:Memoryalpha. She and her former husband Jeremy Tarcher wrote the episode referring to "Memory Alpha." So I wonder why they don't have articles there? Odd. Schmiteye 04:39, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

Cause of death

The cause of death of Shari Lewis is slightly different than the one listed on the Lamb Chop page. Here it is ovarian cancer and on the Lamb Chop page it is uterine cancer. User Bill Seeger — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.243.21.158 (talk • contribs) 22:40, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

Currently, this page gives uterine cancer as the cause; Lamb Chop (puppet) states that Lewis had ovarian cancer. Also, this page states that she had pneumonia, but does not state that the pneumonia was fatal. Lamb Chop states that it was the pneumonia that caused Lewis' death. I believe that she died of uterine cancer and pneumonia. Can anyone confirm that? If so, both this article and Lamb Chop (puppet) should be corrected to that effect.

Fair use rationale for Image:Sharilewis&lambchop.jpg

File:Nuvola apps important.svg

Image:Sharilewis&lambchop.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Why were crows controversial in the sixties?

I may be dumb, but my understanding of the cultural backround of the sixties doesn't hold anything that would make crows controversial. I think it should be clarified in the article what the controversy there was, perhaps with a citation, even. -- Cimon Avaro; on a pogostick. (talk) 15:43, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Guessing they were black, and as such seen as racist by those types who wish to see such. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.255.107.88 (talk) 23:40, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

Oh please!

"She was cremated. Her ashes were either given to a friend or family." Banal, equivocal and vulgar. --OhNoPeedyPeebles (talk) 20:41, 29 September 2008 (UTC) What does she was survived by her husband etc mean? Sounds like they had to put up with her bad jokes or something Bouncingmolar (talk) 12:33, 22 July 2010 (UTC)

Traditionally, it means she died and that her husband was the surviving or living spouse. ----moreno oso (talk) 12:44, 22 July 2010 (UTC)

Abraham Hurwitz

The Wikipedia article on Shari Lewis, Early Life, states: "... Abraham Hurwitz, a founding member of Yeshiva University ,...". The Wikipedia article on Yeshiva University states that it was founded in 1886. The Wikipedia article on Future American Magical Entertainers states that Abraham Hurwitz was born in 1906. Can anyone explain this apparent discrepancy? Should the Wikipedia article on Shari Lewis be revised to: "... Abraham Hurwitz, an education professor at Yeshiva University, ..."?

role in Pop Culture

Even in high school I loved to watch her and Lamb Chop, supposedly for little kids. Witty, gentle, and beautiful. I think that, like Debbie Reynolds in the Tammy-era Fifties, she was for many shy younger guys The Girl You Want to Marry When You Grow Up. Profhum (talk) 19:31, 14 February 2018 (UTC)

Needs Bibliography

The article mentions that Lewis wrote more than sixty books, but there is not even a partial list of them. That information should be added. OllyV (talk) 23:44, 12 December 2024 (UTC)
