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 age 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 Singer's
success in Hollywood, Lori had started taking acting lessons at age 17,
and in 1982, she landed a role in the television series
Fame (1982). She was a natural to play
the tall, beautiful cellist Julie Miller, displaying her dancing and
singing skills. Lori portrayed a model in the television movie
Born Beautiful (1982),
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 (and Lori had beat out Madonna for
the part). In 1985, Lori was nominated for the Independent Spirit Award
for Best Female Lead in
Trouble in Mind (1985). Lori had
a son, Jacques Rio, in 1991. In 1993, Lori won a Golden Globe Award for
her outstanding performance in
Short Cuts (1993). In 1995, Lori
starred in VR.5 (1995) 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 music 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-role models Helping to End
Suffering) Their mission "is to raise funds and awareness for programs
dedicated to direct care, prevention and 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!"
