Breonna Taylor, one of the most prominent victims of police violence and misconduct in 2020, was born on June 5, 1993 in Grand Rapids, Michigan. She was raised by her mother Tamika Palmer and her boyfriend Trory Herrod in Louisville, Kentucky. Taylor she attended local schools and graduated from Western High School, in Louisville in 2011. Taylor briefly attended the University of Kentucky, and then became an Emergency Medical Technician for the city of Louisville. She worked for Jewish East Medical Center as a full time Emergency Room Technician (ERT) and a Practicing Registered Nurse (PRN) for Norton Healthcare.

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:

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.
