Mary Peters

Alias:
Mary K. Peters

Stuntwoman and actress Mary Katherine Peters was born in California. The youngest daughter of a California policeman, Mary ran track and field in high school. Peters began her career in the entertainment industry as a model for 20th Century Fox. Mary's big break as an actress happened after she was cast as an extra for five years on the hit TV series M*A*S*H (1972). Peters attended various professional schools to learn all about performing stunts whenever M*A*S*H (1972) was on its six month filming hiatus and began her career as a stuntwoman in 1976. Among the notable actresses that Mary has doubled for are Vanessa Redgrave, Sigourney Weaver,, Joan Cusack, Mary Gross, Delia Sheppard, Lindsay Wagner, and Lynn Redgrave. Peters moved with her husband Stewart to Oklahoma in 2000. Moreover, her son Matthew Senour works as an aerospace engineer for the global security company Northrup Grumman. Mary spends her spare time playing golf when she isn't doing either community work or interior design.

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.
