Several veteran actors have come forward with troubling claims against Jerry Lewis , accusing the late comedy legend of sexual harassment and assault during his 1960s heyday.

On Wednesday, Vanity Fair unveiled an investigation and a short documentary detailing the allegations against Lewis, who died in 2017 at age 91. The article incorporates interviews with actors like Karen Sharpe and Hope Holiday, who both co-starred with Lewis in the 1960s. Filmmakers Kirby Dick and Amy Ziering, who probed Mia Farrows allegations against Woody Allen in HBOs Allen v. Farrow , highlight those actors accounts in the accompanying film.

Sharpe, now 87, told Vanity Fair that Lewis unzipped his pants and began fondling her after summoning her to his office for costume fittings while filming 1964s The Disorderly Orderly .

I put my hand up and said, Wait a minute. I dont know if this is a requirement for your leading ladies, but this is something I dont do, she recalled. I could see that he was furious. I got the feeling that that never really happened to him.

Sharpe, whose other credits include 1955s Man with the Gun and the 1959 TV series Johnny Ringo, said she offered to quit the film after the incident. When she returned to the set to resume filming three days later, however, she learned that she would only be allowed to rehearse her scenes with Lewis stand-in, and the crew had been instructed not to speak with her.
