Movies
It's hard for me to pick movies because after you have been in the business and you see how they are made, it changes your perspective.
But I love, "When Harry Met Sally", "Officer And A Gentleman", "Friday After Next", "The Piano", "Mystic Pizza", "Pretty Woman", "Titanic", "Dream Girls", "Goldfinger", "The Color Purple", "Fatal Attraction", "Basic Instinct", "The Bodyguard", "The Secret", and many more.
Television
I love reality shows and I know that I shouldn't being an Actor but if makes me feel good that more people have a chance to make it on the little screen than every before.
I totally support Tyra Banks and everything that she is doing. I really identify with her because I have been rejected and shuned by the entertainment industry, modeling, and men for as little as 10 pounds.

A Creed To Live By****Don't undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others.****It is because we are different that each of us is special.****Don't set your goals by what other people deem important.****Only you know what is best for you.****Don't take for granted the things closest to your heart.****Cling to them as you would your life, for without them life is meaningless.****
Don't let your life slip through your fingers by living in the past or for the future.****By living your life one day at a time, you live all the days of your life.****Don't give up when you still have something to give.****Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.****Don't be afraid to admit that you are less than perfect.****It is this fragile thread that binds us to each other.****Don't be afraid to encounter risks.****It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.****Don't shut love out of your life by saying it's impossible to find.****The quickest way to receive love is to give love.
The fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly;
and the best way to keep love is to give it wings.****Don't dismiss your dreams.****To be without
dreams is to be without hope; to be without hope is to be without purpose.****Don't run through life so fast that you forget not only where you've been, but also where you're going.****Life is not a race, but a journey to be savored each step of the way.****
~ Nancye Sims ~

I Wish For You****by Marilyn Gordon****I wish for you...****I wish for you a rainbow****With your own pot of gold.****I wish for you a cloudless sky****And happiness untold.****I wish for you an ocean breeze****And balmy summer days.****I wish for you to be assured****That you are loved always.****I do not wish a perfect life.****An earthly life has flaws.****I do not wish a straight smooth road,****But curves and hills, because****I wish for you adventures****And dreams that never end.****And most of all I wish for you****Love, joy and peace, my friend."

I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
LORI L. BLACK'S BIO------- I was born in Chicago, Illinois into an educated family that is generally not artistically inclined. I was the oldest of 4 children (the experiment) and had a very outgoing personality. My Dad’s career kept us moving around from state to state so we ended up in Middleton, Wisconsin where most of my musical likes and dislikes were formed. I attended high school at Middleton High School and was involved in everything musical or theatrical that I could sign up for. I was very much a “class clown” and I developed the nickname “Buzz” that name stuck throughout my lifetime. When listening to the radio in Wisconsin the only genres of music played there were either hard rock or soft rock and of course country, so that was about all that I knew about. My Dad loved all of the great singers like “Frank Sinatra, Johnny Mathis, The Drifters, & Tony Bennett“. He would play those LP’s on the record player over and over again. And sing out loud terribly off key and me and my brother and sisters would just laugh. I would practice and imitate celebrities and pretend I was singing and dancing on television. As kids, my brother and my 2 sisters would prepare choreographed shows to the latest hits for our relatives. It was always a regular event during the holidays. After a while I started landing lead singing parts with many different groups in school. One year I participated in 4 singing groups at one time. The more the merrier as far as I was concerned. I learned about so many different styles of music from opera to songs from other countries in other languages. I eventually studied singing techniques with Debra Harry’s (Blondie) vocal teacher. She was professional opera singer and she taught me many great things. Primarily how to achieve different vocal effects and how to help create the mood you want in a song. From High School I moved to Mt. Holly, New Jersey and enjoyed music there and dabbled a little but never really seriously pursued anything. I did some modeling, but in the back of my mind I knew that I would eventually move to California and go after my life-long desire to be an Entertainer. I got married and learned about many creative talents that I was capable of through my husbands drive and creativity. He helped me to develop the strong work ethic that I possess today. But the pull of Hollywood and my desire to be an Entertainer got the best of me and finally I decided after my divorce to drive across the United States in a beat-up old Toyota station wagon full of my things. I had about $250.00 left in my pocket when I reached the big sign that said “Welcome to California” with a tear in my eye, I pulled over, got out of the car and kissed the ground. I had made it. This was it! I’m here!!! That day I stopped at Circuit City in the “Valley” and they offered me a job that day! So I knew it was meant to be. It took years to acclimate myself to California. What a hick I was! I had a John Deere Tractor that I used to ride around on. (You know the latest technology). Most people driving by didn’t know if I was male or female back then. (That’s okay, keep ‘em guessing). I found that to be hysterical. My favorite outfit was a flannel shirt and black spandex pants. (The spandex was so comfortable on the seat of the tractor - but it was hard to stay on top of it going up and down hills). I used to wear my John Deere hat backwards. The only other thing that I needed was chewing tobacco! Everybody was so beautiful and thin in California. Not like where I came from. Bodies were proportionately different to say the least. Here the men and women had such long hair, and the pretty faces, and the sexy clothing. There was so much competition for everything. I went through a few jobs in the kitchen design and appliance sales and worked on the side in films, television, and commercials for a few years. I discovered that I enjoyed the entertainment business a great deal and I was interested in learning more. On the set of “Star Trek - Deep Space Nine” I met some people that I eventually produced and wrote an album with but it was just a beginning. This is when I began to discover my love for writing lyrics and melodies and developed my current vocal style. The whole experience of playing my music for other people inspired me to continue to write songs, and look for outlets for my music. I have just finished my 1st Country CD and it just will be out Early 2007. I really have enjoyed working on this project a great deal because it brought me back home. I feel that I was digging down deep into my days in Wisconsin when I was writing the lyrics.
