From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Helene Millard (September 30, 1905 – September 20, 1974) was an American supporting actress of the 1930s and 1940s. She started her film career in a featured role in 1929's The Thirteenth Chair. During the 1930s, she appeared in 18 films, mostly in supporting or featured roles, but her roles diminished near the end of the decade. She made six films at the beginning of the 1940s, all in supporting roles, after which she left the film industry in 1942. She returned to films briefly in 1952-53, when she made four more films, before leaving the film industry for good. Her final film appearance was in a small role in Remains to Be Seen (1953), starring June Allyson and Van Johnson. During the early 1950s, she appeared in several television shows, as well, before retiring for good in 1954 after an appearance on Topper. She died on September 20, 1974, in Laguna Hills, California.
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.
