Biography from TheMovieDB

Tantala Ray, a big-breasted strumpet was one of the most unique porn starlets of the 1970's, injecting her own special brand of sexual adventure into every scene she appeared in. Tantala Ray was a full figured woman of apparently Latin heritage, with a hard-charging attitude that often overwhelmed her partners. She was a truly wild woman in the sack, clawing and writhing around with the unleashed passion of an alley-cat in heat. Although Tantala Ray appeared in many porn movies of the '70's, it wasn't until 1982 that she made her hardcore debut in 'Cafe Flesh 1,' a classic sex vid set in a post-apocalyptic, sex-starved world. She appeared in over 35 features during the next eight years, often playing kinked-out older women or engaging in some sort of fetishistic sex. In fact, bondage and leather were Tantala Ray's real love, and whenever she could get in a little kink, her eyes lit up with a lusty fire that simply can't be faked.  One of her favorite things to do was to tease and then please a compliant young man, dominating the scene with the air of a sexual predator. In 1990, she appeared with Tori Welles in "Out For Blood", where she played an aging vampire who still lusts after young blood. She retired in 1994. Fans of dominant older women will want to check out this luscious lady with the nasty and menacing glint in her eye.  Tantala married Nick Random on 31 October 1986.

About the Movie Section

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:

  • I added "runners up" to Top 10 lists, treating them as ties where applicable and numbering them accordingly at the bottom of each list.
  • Regarding those polls wherein "franchise" movies were submitted as one project until BFI's policy changed to regard them separately, I treated them as ties and renumbered the affected lists accordingly (e.g. the Godfather films).

Regarding profile removals and data corrections:

  • If you would like your profile removed from this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's gone from their site, it should soon be gone from this site.
  • If you would like to correct movie data on this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's corrected on their site, it should soon be corrected on this site.
  • For additional corrections and profile removals, please e-mail The Open Movie Database (OMDb).

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.
