Terence Hall 
      British ventriloquist

died April 4, 2007 , Coventry, West Midlands, Eng.
charmed British audiences for more than 20 years with his bashful “sidekick,” Lenny the Lion, whose shy demeanour, falsetto voice, and endearing inability to pronounce the letter r delighted children with such television programs as The Lenny the Lion Show (1957), Lenny's Den (1959–61), and Pops and Lenny (1962–63). The latter famously featured an early performance by the Beatles. Hall, a highly skilled ventriloquist, was one of the first to use an animal puppet rather than a human dummy. In 1958 he and the easily “embawassed” Lenny made a guest appearance on the American Ed Sullivan Show. Hall also wrote educational storybooks, many of which were later featured on Reading with Lenny (1977–80).
