Jule Campbell, an understated icon, shattered glass ceilings in the 1960s with her artistic vision for the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. This documentary chronicles her 32-year reign as founding editor, transforming a struggling magazine into a billion-dollar brand. More than just beautiful bodies, Jule championed intelligence and empowered models like Christie Brinkley and Kathy Ireland, fostering their rise to superstardom. Directed by Jill Campbell, the film weaves together Campbell's remarkable journey with the evolution of feminism and fashion. We witness the shift in society's gaze, from the objectification of the 60s to the body positivity movement of today. Through archival footage and intimate interviews with Campbell, we see a woman reflecting on her legacy with grace and wisdom. Visually stunning, the documentary captures the essence of Jule's artistry, a testament to the powerful impact she left on generations of women.

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
