Stefania Spampinato (b. 1982)

Birthplace:
Catania, Italy

Born:
July 17, 1982

Stefania Spampinato was born in a small town at the base of the Etna Volcano in Belpasso, Sicily. She started dancing at 6 years old. Her passion for the arts at a young age was undeniable so her mother started making her dance costumes so she could afford her daughter's tuition. After graduating high school with honors, she did something unheard of in her small village: she bought a plane ticket & left. What came to follow was a wildly successful career in dance & theatre that lasted 10 years & included collaborations with Joquin Cortez, Kylie Minogue, Demi Lovato Leona Lewi, Neo, Take That, Nine, Samsung, Toyota, Target Wells Fargo, Adidas, Miller light, The VoiceUK, & X Factor US & UK In 2011 she made an even bolder move & bought a one way ticket to Los Angeles, CA. Upon landing she immersed herself in acting classes with Gary Imhoff (formally of the Beverly Hills Playhouse), Anthony Meindl, & Michelle Danner. Within 3 months she had representation commercially and theatrically.

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.
