EMMANUEL LEWIS: THE E! TRUE HOLLYWOOD STORY
PREMIERES ON SUNDAY, JUNE 22 AT 9:00 PM ET/PT
Emmanuel Lewis -- "People Thought I Was The Doll Come To Life. So I Would Have Different People Just Treating Me Very Strangely As Far As I Was Concerned Because They Wanted To Just Touch Me To See If I Was Real."
Los Angeles, June 18, 2003 - In the `80s, child star Emmanuel Lewis charmed America as TV’s cuddly orphan “Webster.” The sitcom turned the pint-sized actor into a television giant. Lewis performed for a U.S. President, danced with Sammy Davis Jr. and his best friend just happened to be the “King of Pop.” Behind the scenes, however, life on the sitcom set with Lewis’ co-stars was not as harmonious. In 1989, Lewis said farewell to his hit television series and goodbye to Hollywood. Lewis recognized his small stature prevented him from playing more adult roles and he spent most of the next decade out of the public spotlight, trying to decide whether his future included television. In this one-hour episode, Lewis sits down to expose his unique tale as an adored child to an obscure adult and express his eagerness for a comeback. Interviews for this episode include Emmanuel Lewis, along with his friends, family, and Webster producer Stu Silver. Emmanuel Lewis: The E! True Hollywood Story premieres Sunday, June 22 at 9:00 PM ET/PT.
