A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Alias:
J.T. Ambrose
Born:
January 1, 1955
Tish Ambrose was a cheerleader and honor roll student in high school. Following graduation from high school, Ambrose attended college as a dance major and graduated with a B.A. After college Tish did a lot of summer stock in order to establish herself as a legitimate actress. Ambrose met legendary porn icon Georgina Spelvin in 1974 while doing summer stock in Maine and met several of Spelvin's friends in the adult industry, but decided at the time not to pursue a career in hardcore movies. Tish instead took a job as a hostess at a bar/restaurant where she met her husband David Ambrose. Ambrose discovered soon thereafter that David was an avid porn lover who knew a lot about the business. Tish and David got involved in the live sex show circuit in 1978 and subsequently got into the swinging scene. After making friends with a handful of people in the live sex show circuit who were also doing explicit adult features, Ambrose and her husband made the leap into hardcore porn in 1981. Tish retired from the adult entertainment industry in the late 1980's.
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.
