Merlee SHAPIRO

All I know is that she narrated Caillou, and she was amazing! Even though I was never allowed to watch Caillou, I loved her soothing voice! I was allowed to watch it up until my mom discovered how much he wined.

So sorry to hear about your loss.
My deep condolences to Chrissie and Phil, Philip and Lina, Linda and Howard and to all of Merlee's Grandchildren and Great-grandchild.

I was 19 when I first appreciated what a character Merlee was because we shared an ability to do dialects that has us both rolling with laughter. She was much better than I was at the Yiddish, but i think my Indian accent edged hers out. Her strict appearance and bearing masked a huge sense of humor that I loved and will forever miss. Her dignity and presence in her final years should be an inspiration to all who knew her and loved her. Catherine and I extend our sincere regrets to cousins Chrissy, Philip and Linda.
