@ Free Britney, Thank you for informing your readers about the death of Lisa Blount,who I remember so well from the movie An Officer and a Gentlemen. It is my understanding that her husband is the actor who portryed Coach Cotton in 2009's movie The Blind Side. Since your acknowledgement of her death, I have read 2 seperate obits. that indicate that she was born in 1957 instead of 1953 which according to the year given is a young woman of 53. Thank you for the reminder of her accomplishments including being an Academy Award Winner. Please keep us updated with any new information regarding this talented young woman. Thank you!!
That's not Lisa Blount the actress - that's a picture of a social worker named Lisa Blount.
The picture you have is not a picture of Lisa...please fix it.
