My Take

Singer was one of the defining faces of mid-80s cinema thanks to Footloose, but reducing her to the preacher's rebellious daughter sells her short. She is a genuinely accomplished cellist, and that artistic depth radiates through her best performances, giving them an unexpected intensity. I love that she chose adventurous, offbeat projects like Robert Altman's Short Cuts rather than chasing easy stardom. Tall, striking, and a little enigmatic, she always felt like an actress operating on her own wavelength. Her filmography is smaller than it could have been, which only makes the work she did leave behind feel more deliberate and worth seeking out.

Overview

Lori Singer (born November 6, 1957) is an American actress, model, and classically trained cellist. Born in Texas, she first gained attention on the television series Fame and rose to wider fame playing Ariel Moore in the 1984 film Footloose. She comes from a musical family, the sister of actor Marc Singer, and has appeared in films such as The Falcon and the Snowman and Short Cuts.
