Maria Arnold initially worked at a topless bar in the San Fernando Valley as a bikini waitress who not only sold beer, told jokes, and played the harmonica, but also averaged $250 dollars per week. After quitting said job, Arnold began her career in the adult entertainment industry as a nude model. Maria appeared in her first softcore movie in the late 1960s and made the leap into hardcore porn in the early 1970s. Arnold went on to work profusely in both adult fare and exploitation features alike for about a decade before eventually calling it a day as an actress in the late 1970s. She is the daughter of Phil Arnold.
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.
