A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Alias:
Adreana Betan
Birthplace:
Pasadena, California, USA
Adreana was born in Pasadena, California to an Italian/American mother, Cathleen Frontino, and Venezuelan father, Hector Gonzalez. The family, consisting of both parents, Adreana, an older brother and younger sister, returned to Venezuela when Adreana was only a year and a half when her younger sister was born. The family soon moved around often from Pasadena, Arizona, Venezuela, and New Mexico when Adreana finally decided to go off to college in San Francisco, CA. She studied at the famed American Conservatory Theatre for three years while simultaneously going to Blue Bear School of American music for her singing and songwriting. Adreana is a well versed performer; acting, singing, dancing, as well as loving to compose music both on piano and guitar. She started working in film shortly after returning to her home land of Los Angeles, and is also known for her singing voice in many international/national commercials for Mattel and Konami.
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.
