  • Trivia
    When asked by TV Guide to supply an item for a celebrity recipes issue, she submitted a recipe for lamb chops.
  • Quotes
    [on the enduring appeal of Lambchop] I don't contemplate these things. I'm very intuitive and instinctive about what I do. There's a story about a man with a long beard. Somebody asked him one day, "Do you sleep with your beard outside of the blanket or under the blanket?" and from that moment on he didn't sleep! He kept watching where his beard was. What I do works and I'm not analytic.
  • Trademarks
      Her superb ventriloquism skill.
