A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Birthplace:
Atlanta, Georgia, USA
Stacey Turner was born in Atlanta, GA to Peggy, a real estate broker and Jerry Turner, a government employee with the U.S. Department of Education. Stacey attended Georgia State University and after college moved around the U.S. for six years while pursuing a television news career. Atlanta was the final stop on the news circuit, where she worked as the morning reporter for CBS46's Good Morning Atlanta. While in the news biz Stacey earned an Emmy nomination, two Society of Professional Journalists Green Eyeshade Awards, and was selected as a favorite television personality by a local Texas magazine. Her first acting role was in a church play at the age of 6. For Stacey, being from a small town on the outskirts of Atlanta was about as far from Hollywood as a girl could be. It wouldn't be until many years later, doing a play while working as a reporter in Savannah, that the interest would be re-sparked. Stacey decided to leave a career in the news industry to pursue acting full time. It wasn't long before she landed a small role in the film The Blind Side (2009) starring Sandra Bullock. While in Atlanta she also booked roles on The Army Wives and Drop Dead Diva. Shortly after that Stacey moved to Los Angeles to continue her career. Since her move she has had the opportunity to work on several films with directors such as Sophia Coppola, The Bling Ring (2013), Phil Joanou, The Veil (2015) and Jonathan Liebesman, Battle: Los Angeles (2011). She has also worked on top rated television shows including Bones, Scandal, Graceland and Legends. - IMDb Mini Biography

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.
