A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Birthplace:
Houston, Texas
Olivia Keville was born in Houston, Texas, to a loving, supportive family that has helped foster her passion for performing and acting aspirations. She is the youngest of three. Keville's acting career began at the age of 5, when she fell in love with the theatre after seeing a performance of Annie. She was discovered in 2016 during a workshop with Texas-based acting coach Mary Ferguson by John D'Aquino. Keville then participated in D'Aquino's young actor intensive workshop, Camp Hollywood. Her outstanding performances in the workshop's showcase caught the eye of Nikki Mincks (Mincks Talent Management), who currently represents her, along with Emily Urbani (Osbrink). On the stage, she has appeared in local musical productions, including Rizzo in Grease, Wednesday in The Addams Family, Scarecrow in The Wiz, Belle in Beauty and the Beast and the title character in Mary Poppins. Keville starred in the short film Nowhere Café and appeared in the New York Film Academy short How to Rid the House of Vampires. Keville is also a trained singer. She has been a part of her school choir since second grade and began musical theatre at the age of 5. In her free time, Keville enjoys writing poetry and short stories.
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.
