Born:
November 8, 1968

Zara Whites dropped out of school at an early age and moved in with her then-boyfriend when she was 17. In her late teens she worked as a barmaid and, after that, a prostitute in a men's club. A Dutch model agency found her a new job in Italy, where she worked as a topless dancer on the TV quiz-show Colpo grosso (1987). After her relationship with an Italian count broke up, she went to Paris and started working as a call girl. While doing a photo shoot for "Penthouse", she was advised by Italian porn star Rocco Siffredi to try her luck in the adult film industry. A few months later she made her adult-film debut in The Challenge (1990). Soon Zara became a major porn star in the States. She worked with famous directors such as John Stagliano ("Buttman") and Andrew Blake. After a brief but successful career in porn, Zara decided to retire. She returned to Paris in the early 1990s.

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.
