Their film The Accountant garnered an Oscar for Best Live Action Short Film. At the time of her death, she had just finished starring in the FX pilot Outlaw Country. Ms. Blount was as fearless in real life as she was in her award-winning performances. Her charisma, generosity, and wisdom were blessings to all who had the good fortune to know her.
