Lonette McKee and Kerry Washington of Lift, Sundance Film Festival

Birth Date: July 22, 1954
Birth Place: Detroit, Michigan, USA

Lonette McKee was nominated for a Tony Award for her portrayal of Julie LaVerne in a revival of Show Boat. When McKee debuted in Sparkle (1976), film critic Pauline Kael noted that she was “so sexy that she lays waste to the movie.”

She demonstrated her terrific vocal skills in that movie, as well as in The Cotton Club and `Round Midnight. She has appeared in many feature films including Men of Honor, He Got Game, Malcolm X, Jungle Fever, Which Way Is Up? and Brewster's Millions. Stage credits also include the starring role in the one-woman show Lady Day at Emerson's Bar and Grill, a tribute to Billie Holiday. McKee has also written, produced and performed several solo musical CD's and is currently writing screenplays and studying film direction.
