Dodie Brown

Birthplace:
Louisiana, USA

Dodie Brown, an American actress hailing from Louisiana, is the youngest among her three siblings. From a tender age, her passion for the arts was evident, particularly when she performed in musicals such as "Oklahoma," "Oliver," and "The Music Man" with the Richland Players Theatre Group. Dodie completed her education at Northeast Louisiana University in 1994 and cheered both for her university and the Shreveport Mudbugs professional hockey team. In a notable moment in 2006, she was cast by Director Frank Darabont for Stephen King's "The Mist", sharing the screen with her then six-year-old daughter, Taylor. Dodie's acting career has been thriving, especially in the Southeast. Besides acting, she has a penchant for coaching, casting, and producing. Her ability to wholly immerse herself in her roles is a hallmark of her talent. In the personal realm, Dodie tied the knot with Dr. Alan Brown in 1998, and they are proud parents to two daughters, Taylor and Gabrielle. Outside her professional sphere, she cherishes family moments, globetrotting, and indulging in gardening.

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.
