Lisa S. Blount (July 1, 1957 – October 25, 2010) was an American film and television actress and Oscar-winning producer.
She is most likely remembered for her film role as Lynette Pomeroy, the cynical, insecure best friend to Paula Pokrifki, played by Debra Winger, in An Officer and a Gentleman. Another memorable role was that of Jim Profit’s outrageous stepmother Bobbi Stakowski in the short-lived but critically-acclaimed Fox TV 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 also appeared during season two (1986) of Moonlighting in the episode, "Sleep Talkin’ Guy", as the beautiful prostitute, Toby, who helped David Addison crack cases.
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 the film Chrystal, starring Billy Bob Thornton.
