Born Maria Tereza on February 5, 1963 in Rio Casca, Minas Gerais, Brazil. Lively Brazilian porn actress Elle Rio blitzkrieged her way through more than 80 adult films throughout the 1980s. She began her career in porn in 1986 and soon became a familiar presence in many straight-to-video releases. Her limited grasp of the English language did not hinder her career due to her vivacious personality on set and virtually insatiable sexual appetite. The full-figured, long-legged Latina was renowned for the sneering, beckoning grins she aimed at the audience and her co-stars. Her volcanic physical performances are among the most mind-boggling caught on tape, and according to many of her male co-stars, she wasn't faking them. Elle disappeared from the adult film scene almost as quickly as she had entered it. The story given the most credence is that she made all the money she wanted to and went back to Brazil to get married, though no one really knows exactly what happened to her. She made her last film to date in 1989, although several she made before then have been released since that time, along with compilations of her earlier work. Years Active - 1985-1988
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.
