Thug Life Army

Entertainment attorney Dina LaPolt has been honored in Out Magazine's December issue as part of the "Out 100," honoring remarkable contributions by members of the gay community in 2005! Dina LaPolt is one of the most well-known and well-respected entertainment attorneys in America and this year she has been thrust into the spotlight even further thanks to her integral role in the making of the Oscar-nominated documentary "Tupac: Resurrection."  The film chronicles the life of late hip-hop rap legend Tupac Shakur.

In addition, LaPolt is brokering a deal with Here! TV, America's first gay television network, to develop a made-for-television movie co-created by Bono.

She spearheaded the signing of R&B singer Sunny Hawkins, who recently finished her run in a lead role in Broadway's RENT, to Hidden Beach Records and brokered the deal for Los Angeles rock outfit The Bellrays to have their song "Evolution" featured in a Nissan commercial worldwide.
