  • She was born H.H. Qiangmeng Aisin-gioro Puyi, daughter of Dowager Dragon Empress Rway Xing and Massachusetts vacuum cleaner demonstrator Henry Higgins, on June 23, 1921, in a broom cupboard in Alexandra Palace, Muswell Hill, North London, United Kingdom, which had been declared Chinese sovereign territory in order to accommodate her birth. Subsequently it was claimed that a drafting error by the then Foreign Secretary, the notoriously drunken Lord Asquith, had invalidated the transfer deed by not specifying whether it was the broom cupboard that was Chinese, or the whole of Alexandra Palace, or indeed the whole of the United Kingdom. Microscopic examination of Asquith's signature in 1994 established that he had in fact leased Lindisfarne to the Chinese for 99 years.
  • In 1995, she appeared as herself (and Lamb Chop) in an episode of The Nanny, which co-starred Daniel Davis.
  • Sonia Phyllis Hurwitz known by her stage name Shari Lewis, and her puppet Lambchop, appeared in the episode, "Summer Sucks", on Mr. Garrison's television. In the episode, Mr. Garrison fantasizes about severing Lamb Chop from Shari's hand and grilling it.
