A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).

Sienna Novikov was born in Mobile, Alabama. Her father is an Olympic gold medalist gymnast and she grew up playing in her parents' gym. A State Champion by the time she was 6 years old, she went on to win many State and Regional championships. She also studied ballet, archery and competitive fencing. She was in Dallas in 2016 to compete in the US Fencing Nationals, when her event was cancelled because of the shooting of 5 police officers. After working background in New Orleans, she got the bug for acting and moved to Atlanta to pursue some serious training and is now working with the best coaches in the city. Sienna is also a competent guitarist and pianist.
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.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
