Lisa Blount Obituary - Death Notice and Service Information

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) - A publicist for Lisa Blount confirms that the Arkansas-born actor and Academy Award winning filmmaker has died at age 53.

Steve Rohr's statement did not provide a cause of death.

Pulaski County coroner Garland Camper told the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette there were no signs of foul play.

Blount won an Academy Award in 2001 for best live-action short film as producer of "The Accountant." Her husband Ray McKinnon directed and starred in the film.

She also earned a Golden Globe nomination for playing Debra Winger's best friend in "An Officer and a Gentleman" in 1982.

Blount was born in Fayetteville and grew up in Jacksonville before moving to Los Angeles. Blount and McKinnon moved to Little Rock in 2005.

I just learned of my sweet Lisa's death. I am a former 6th and 7th grade friend. I of course just liked Lisa for every reason possible.. I remember she was the first one in our little group of friends that a 9th grade boy liked her. She was awsome and had a zest for doing it all. I am so very proud to have known you Lisa! You had the funniest giggle and made me feel special when I didn't feel like I was fitting in. I hope to see you on the other side. Won't forget you girl. ...

I just today discovered that you had passed. 3 years ago!!! I was stunned. Even though I didn't even know you, I was deeply saddened. Mostly because you were so young, but a lot because you were so loved...your mom, your husband. The void you were leaving was so palpable. Rest well, Lisa.
