Full Lori Singer Biography
Lori Singer (born November 6, 1957) is an American actress. She is perhaps best known for her role of Ariel Moore, the daughter of Reverend Shaw Moore (played by John Lithgow) in the 1984 film Footloose, which also starred Kevin Bacon.
Singer was born in Corpus Christi, Texas, the daughter of Leslie (née Wright), a concert pianist, and Jacques Singer, a symphony orchestra conductor. Her brothers are actor Marc Singer and violinist Gregory Singer and her cousin is film director Bryan Singer.
Singer played Julie Miller in the TV series Fame from 1982-1983. After Footloose, she starred in a number of other movies, including The Falcon and the Snowman (directed by John Schlesinger and co-starring Sean Penn), The Man with One Red Shoe (with Tom Hanks), Trouble in Mind (directed by Alan Rudolph), Summer Heat, Warlock, Sunset Grill, F.T.W., and the Robert Altman film Short Cuts. In 1995, she played Sydney Bloom, the lead character in the short lived but highly regarded science fiction TV series VR.5.
In 1986, Singer was nominated for an Independent Spirit Award for her role of Georgia in Trouble in Mind. She, and the rest of the actors in Short Cuts, won awards for best ensemble cast at the 1993 Venice Film Festival and the 1994 Golden Globe Awards.
Singer is an accomplished cellist. She plays the cello in Short Cuts, Fame, and also in Sarabande, a 1997 short film by Atom Egoyan that is part of the Inspired by Bach series, which showcases the playing of Yo-Yo Ma. |
