Porcelain Baby Jesus Biography
And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger. (Luke 2:7)
Four times out of five my mother went through the agony of carrying babies full term only to lose them shortly after or before their births. After the loss of her second baby she sculpted this tender portrayal of Mary lovingly holding the baby Jesus while Joseph provides support and protection. Previously she had sculpted the nativity in the traditional format with the baby in the manger. With her recent loss fresh on her mind and longing to hold a baby of her own she realized that Mary also would have wanted to hold her precious Son close to her. Thus was born this tender portrayal that many have come to cherish and enjoy over the years. The Nativity can be purchased as a complete set or individually. We have had many collectors over the years that have delighted their friends and family by presenting them with an addition to their nativity collection at Christmas time, thus providing ten years of anticipated gifts!
Florence P. Hansen is a member of the National Sculpture Society and is featured in ‘Contemporary American Women Sculptors’. Her artistic success as a prolific sculptress is based on her personal perspective of art: ‘It is a challenge and a thrill to capture the likeness, personality and the delicate subtleties of a child, the strength of a man or the unique qualities of a woman, and adding the beautiful texture of the elderly’.
The Creation of Porcelain: The ‘hallmark’ of Hansen Classics figurines is an ability to capture the details of expression and emotion. Even a small figurine such as Brotherly Love may require a complex series of molds. These parts are then made separately and carefully re-assembled producing a replica of the original. This requires an intense concentration and can only be entrusted to expert hands.
Hansen Classics porcelains are distributed worldwide and have been selected as official gifts to those in high office as well as the perfect ‘gifts of love’ for family and friends. They are truly ‘heirlooms for tomorrow’, rich in story telling detail, making each one a prized possession.
Emmanuel Lewis was born March 9th, 1971 in Brooklyn, New York. The youngest son of Margaret Lewis, a former computer-science professional, Emmanuel attended regular public schools in Brooklyn until his busy acting career took him to Hollywood. He has four siblings. His acting career began one day when he was jogging with an actor-friend and asked him if he wanted to be in the business. The friend suggested that Emmanuel's mother contact the Shuller Talent Agency, which handles gifted children for TV commercials. He thought that Emmanuel had the perfect face and personality for commercials. The friend proved right. Emmanuel was signed by the agency the minute the agents saw him and before long he was appearing in commercials for such products as fruit juice, cars, stereos, glue, soup, toys, coffee, pudding, pizza, and, of course, Burger King. He did around 50-60 commercials including one for Campbell's Soup and Life Cereal and the 4 Burger King commercials. His Colgate commercial can be seen in the movie 'Splash' when Madison (the mermaid) goes to the mall (it can be seen on the tvs in the background).
The first acting job Emmanuel had that wasn't in a commercial was the part of The Changeling Boy in the Joseph Papp New York Shakespeare Festival Production of A Midsummer Night's Dream. Emmanuel also guest-starred on such TV talk shows as "The Tonight Show" and "The Phil Donahue Show" but "Webster" was Emmanuel's first major role on a TV series.
Emmanuel also became one of the biggest stars in Japan as well as America. He made three personal-appearance tours in that country, and a record he made there shot to the top of the charts. He even made a television movie for Japanese television called Samurai in New York.
He has maintained a friendship with music superstar Michael Jackson for many years. It all began when they met at an awards ceremony. After that, Michael insisted that Emmanuel accompany him to such events as "The Emmy Awards Show" and "The Academy Awards Presentations" (they would often dress alike). The two young men spent many happy hours together discussing performing and show business.
Besides Webster, Emmanuel has done guest spots on The Love Boat, In the House, Family Matters (as himself), Malcolm & Eddie (as himself), and Moesha (in the episode "The Short Story"). He also did a 1985 tv movie called Lost in London which co-starred Ben Vereen. He also did 'The New Adventures of Mother Goose Special' with Sally Struthers.
The 42" (3" 6") tall (he says there is no known medical reason for his still-short stature and has grown 6" since the age of 12) Lewis graduated from Clark Atlanta University with a theatre arts degree in 1997. He is said to be looking for another tv series and to possibly go into directing and I wish him well in all his future projects. He is good friends with Marc Price ('Skippy' on Family Ties and now a stand-up comedian) and has gone on tour with him and done various promotional appearances with him. Some photos of Emmanuel Lewis and Marc Price.
He found his own musical label called Emmanuel Lewis Entertainment. He is said to have a black belt in karate and is a martial arts expert. He also is a student of Billy Blanks' Tae-Bo.
Emmanuel guest starred on the new original USA Network thriller called GvsE. In the August 1st 1999 episode, he played an...uh...explosive character proving that not only Good things come in small packages.
In February 2002, he appeared in a commercial for Denny's.
 August 2008: Now 37 and living in Atlanta, Lewis owns a label, Flex Floss Entertainment, and has a black belt in karate.
