LEW'S AUTOBIOGRAPHY

On behalf of Lew's agent and family, we would like to make fans aware that a decision has been made to keep Lew's autobiography in the hands of his sons as a personal memoir to their dad, and not for publication. If this should change at any time in the future then we will of course let you know straight away, but for now, it will not be publicly published. We know fans will be disappointed to hear this news, however we still have a lot of Lew's acting and singing to enjoy, and here at the official fansite we continue to search out little snippets of knowledge to add to the website biography and to this page. Our admiration for Lew and his work goes on!
