Lisa Suzanne Blount (July 1, 1957 – October 27, 2010) was an American film and television actress, and Oscar-winning producer.
Blount was born in Fayetteville, Arkansas to Glen Roscoe Blount and Margaret Louise Martin, and raised in Jacksonville, Arkansas. After graduating from Jacksonville High School and studying theatre at Valdosta State University in Georgia, she landed several small television roles. She returned to college in 1986, this time at San Francisco State University, where she completed her degree in Theater Arts and spent the '86/'87 academic year competing on SFSU's Forensics (Speech and Debate) Team. In the fall of '87 she was cast as the female lead in the American Conservatory Theater's highly successful revival of the musical Hair.
Blount played Lynette Pomeroy in An Officer and a Gentleman. Another memorable role was that of Jim Profit's outrageous stepmother Bobbi Stakowski in the short-lived television series Profit. She starred in Prince of Darkness as the love interest to Jameson Parker, who would play a more important role in the story as it progressed. She appeared in season two of Moonlighting in the episode, "Sleep Talkin' Guy" (1986).
Blount later became a producer and, along with her husband Ray McKinnon, won the Academy Award for best live action short film for the 2001 film The Accountant. That film also credits her as wardrobe mistress. Blount produced and acted in Chrystal, which starred Billy Bob Thornton.
