Kim Donovan

Birthplace:
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA

Kim was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to Dorothy and Wayne Donovan. She started taking dance classes at the age of four and continued studying dance into adulthood. After graduating high school she went on to study acting and voice at various schools in Orlando and Daytona Beach, Florida, eventually earning a BA in Theatre at the University of Central Florida. She minored in Creative Writing, and also attended the Southeast Center for Photographic Studies. She performed in shows at Orlando area dinner theaters, attractions, and theme parks for several years before moving to New York City. In Orlando she performed as a can-can dancer at Rosie O'Grady's in downtown Orlando, performed in award-winning year-round haunted attractions Terror on Church Street and Skull Kingdom, and performed in various shows and was a dance captain at Universal Studios. After graduating college she moved to NYC where she studied dance at Broadway Dance Center, and studied voice and improv acting at H.B. Studios. After doing a little bit of dinner theatre in NYC, she focused her attention on Film and Television, and began working on student films, feature films and TV shows. After 3 1/2 years in NYC Kim moved to Los Angeles where she now routinely performs with a comedy pirate troupe called Pirates for Hire under the direction of film-industry stunt coordinator Ted Shred and continues to pursue work in film and television.

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.
