Lisa Mordente (born July 30, 1958) is an American actress, singer, and dancer.

Born in New Hyde Park, New York to choreographer and television director Tony Mordente and actress/dancer Chita Rivera (her birth postponed her mother's opening in the West End production of "West Side Story" [http://www.chitarivera.com/bio.htm] ), Mordente made her Broadway debut opposite Alexis Smith in the short-lived 1978 musical "Platinum". "Marlowe" (1981) was equally unsuccessful, but garnered her a nomination for the Tony Award for Best Performance by a Leading Actress in a Musical. She also appeared in the 1993 production of "The Who's Tommy", where she met fellow performer Donnie Kerr, who she married and later divorced.

Mordente's television credits include a regular role on the Summer 1976 series "Viva Valdez" and guest appearances on "Welcome Back, Kotter", "Chico and the Man", "The Cosby Show", and "The A-Team". She served as choreographer for "The End" and "Sister Act".
