Merited Artist Nguyễn Tố Uyên (born 19th July 1948 in Hanoi) is a Vietnamese dancer, actress, poet and writer. A ballet dancer by trade, she is best known for her role as Nga in "The Passerine Bird"(Con chim vành khuyên) by director Nguyễn Văn Thông in 1962 and a series of other supporting roles in many critically acclaimed classics like "The Holy Day"(Ngày lễ thánh) and "Rising Storm"(Nổi gió). From 1985, Tố Uyên stopped working in films except for a few small roles in soap operas along with doing voiceovers or editing to support her family and instead began writing professionally; by 1999, she had published over 25 poems and a poetry book. Outside of her career, she is also known for a tumultuous marriage and the resulting scandalous divorce with her first husband Lưu Quang Vũ.
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.
