Mini Biography :
>> Dancer, cellist, actress -- it's not just "Virtual Reality."
Lori Jacqueline Singer was born in Corpus Christi, Texas. Her father
Jacques Singer was a symphony conductor, and her mother Leslie a concert
pianist. Lori grew up in Texas, Portland, Vancouver and London. Lori
always wanted to become a dancer. At age 12, she fell in love with
cello music and wanted to study that, too. Lori was a prodigy, because
at 14 she got accepted to the Juilliard Performing Arts School in
New York, where she majored in music.
>> Lori became the school's youngest undergraduate student,
and only one year after enrolling she made her debut as a soloist
with the Western Washington Symphony. In 1980, Lori won the Bergen
Philharmonic Competition. In 1981 Lori married Richard Emery (they
would divorce in 1998). This lovely lady (5'10") also pursued a successful
modeling career with the Elite Model Agency. Inspired by her brother
Marc's success in Hollywood, Lori had started taking acting lessons
at 17, and in 1982 she landed a role in the TV series "Fame." She
was a natural to play the tall, beautiful cellist Julie Miller, displaying
her dancing and singing skills. Lori portrayed a model in the TV-movie
"Born Beautiful, " and won a Silver Halo Award for her performance.
Lori went on to do movies, her breakout film being "Footloose" (1984)
which grossed $80,000,000 (Lori beat out Madonna for the part).
>> In 1985, Lori was nominated for the Independent Spirit Award
for Best Female Lead in "Trouble in Mind." Lori had a son, Jacques
Rio, in 1991. In 1993, Lori won a Golden Globe Award for her outstanding
performance in "Short Cuts." In 1995 Lori starred in "VR.5" the short-lived
sci-fi series. That same year she was also listed in People magazine
as one of the "Most Beautiful People." Lori still plays the cello
regularly, and although she was classically trained, Lori plays rock
as well (sometimes she gathers her friends in her apartment for a
jam).
>> Big-hearted Lori also devotes a lot of time and effort to
the "DISHES Project" for Pediatric AIDS. (DISHES-- Determined Involved
Super-rolemodels Helping to End Suffering) Their mission "is to raise
funds and awareness for programs dedicated to direct care, prevention
& education, foster care and adoptive services." Lori is one of many
generous celebrities (including Cindy Crawford, Heidi Klum, Elle MacPherson,
Claudia Schiffer and many others) who have donated their time, image
and money for this noble project. Lori lives with her son in Manhattan.
And, as Lori writes occasionally when she signs an autograph: "Stay
Footloose!"
