Judy Gringer er datter af en jødisk skrædder i Bagsværd. Hun startede som balletelev på Det Kgl. Teater 1950-1955, men blev kasseret og drog i stedet på turné til Italien med Rita Clair-Balletten. Senere deltog hun som danserinde i Tivoli-revyen og efter medvirken i film kom hun i 1957 til ABC-Teatret, hvor hun var Lommer-pige i årene 1957-1964 og samtidig spillede på Aveny-Teatret. Her fik hun et gennembrud i samspil med Dirch Passer i succes-sketchen om "Babs og Nutte". Judy Gringer var fra 1964 freelance-skuespiller og spillede på de fleste københavnske teatre, bl.a. Fiolteatret og i provinsen. I sammenlagt tre år levede Judy Gringer som hippie i New York, hvor hun havde forskellige småjobs som babysitter og statist. Hun medvirkede også på revyscener bl.a. i Holstebro-Revyen. Hun sluttede sin scenekarriere i 1984 på Aveny Teatret i "Amalie Skram". Judy Gringer traf som 17-årig skuespilleren Dirch Passer som hun levede sammen med i fem år og senere i ti år med filminstruktøren Knud Leif Thomsen (2/9-1924 - 14/10-2003), med hvem hun har datteren Julie Gringer. Hun har også været gift med psykolog Bent Tage Truelsen, men dette ægteskab varede kun eet år. Hun medvirkede i en lang række populære spillefilm, bl.a. "Pigen og pressefotografen", "Fem mand og Rosa", "Gift", "Sådan er de alle", "Den gale dansker", "Lenin, din gavtyv" og "Julefrokosten" fra 1976 samt i TV-spillet "Farfar til hest".

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.
