Sylvia Lewis is an American actress, dancer and choreographer.

Biography

Youth

Sylvia Lewis was born in York, Pennsylvania. She first performed as a young child in the last days of vaudeville in Baltimore, Maryland. She received her first classical training as a scholarship student at the Peabody Conservatory of Music, studying dance, voice and piano. She went to to Hollywood at the age of 12.

Career

She began her film career in Singin' in the Rain (1952) and Red Garters (1954) as a dancer, then in Drums of Tahiti (1954) as an actress. Later she added choreography on her list of credits, which began while she was a regular featured character on the TV series "Where's Raymond?" (1953), which starred Ray Bolger and ran for 66 episodes on ABC. She has choreographed many TV shows since then, including "Who's the Boss?" (1984) and "Married with Children" (1987). Guest appearances on shows like "The Dick Van Dyke Show" (1961), "The Beverly Hillbillies" (1962) and "Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C." (1964), plus a healthy stage career on both coasts, earned her a reputation as a triple-threat performer.
