Lory Molino

Hollywood has a new face and it comes in the form of 'Lory Molino' (qv) who is a combination of high education, brilliant intellect, business experience, creative talent and an uncanny instinct for people. A former local model who modeled and acted "for the fun of it" while maintaining a scientific career, Lory brings to her company WOF Entertainment Inc., a mix of savvy, glamour and intelligent street smarts. Of mixed native ancestry, her exotic looks often gain attention when she walks into a room. She laughs loud, yet conveys a sense of comfort and affability. I felt immediately at ease with Lory as we sat down to lunch. A graduate of Stuyvesant High School of NY, Lory had always had a creative side as well as an intellectual and scientific side. During her younger years, Lory studied and performed academic scientific research in the field of Neurobiology, then making the professional move into the pharmaceutical industry where she worked for such corporate giants such as SmithKline, Merck, Wyeth and Johnson & Johnson while doing small modeling and background acting roles for fun (such as Twelve Monkeys). Finally tiring of corporate life after 25 years, she began to return to her modeling and background acting after taking a 20-year hiatus following the birth of her children, she re-discovered her passion for the entertainment industry re-emerging in Creed and Swing Away. Mixed martial arts also plays a strong role in Lory's life as her passion for the sport has been her lifestyle. Her love for the sport has kept her active and knowledgeable of the sport since 1998. As a result, she attained a second-degree black belt from Tiger Schulmann's MMA and still continues to train even to this day with no intention of ever slowing down. Acting as a supporter for friends who are professional MMA fighters and as a motivational coach for amateur MMA fighters, she began to travel and make friends which led to a growing solid network of influential people. When invited by Mark Lipsky to be part of WOF Entertainment, Lory gratefully accepted. Lory is enjoying life even more than ever now as a working producer in an industry she enjoys. Lory pursues all things in life with a sincere passion and helping her native family through support and volunteering of her time to coach Lakota children and provide self-defense seminars for the women of the Cheyenne River Reservation in South Dakota. At the Wolves Den Boxing Club, run by her adoptive brother and tribal chief Joseph Brings Plenty Sr., she helps to shape a future generation to achieve their dreams and combat the stress of reservation life. Her loftiest goal, to help give natives and native actors a larger presence and voice in main stream media.::J. Dubrow
