Tanya was born in England, and lived there until her mid-teens. A natural performer, she has extensive experience on-camera and on-stage, as a singer, dancer, and actress. Her resume includes "A Chorus Line" and "Run For Your Wife", in addition to numerous guest spots on TV and in film. After several years of steady performing, she decided to take up a new challenge and go back to university, double-majoring in psychology and zoology, then entering studies for therapeutic body works. After hearing about Naked News' Audition Contest, Tanya sent in a videotape. The producers immediately recognized her spark and charisma, and offered her a fulltime position on the program. Tanya's many years studying Shotokan Karate has earned her a black belt, along with a code of honor and discipline that have stayed with her to this day. She uses this discipline to fuel another passion - writing screenplays. She indulges this hobby almost daily, concentrating mainly on thrillers and dramas. Since joining Naked News, Tanya has taken advantage of the numerous opportunities to expand her experiences. Trapeze work, learning to fence, and bungee-ing pose no problems for her, as she's done them all and more on the program. Having spent so much time in front of people, and through her other works in the therapeutic field, Tanya has come to truly appreciate the body in all its forms. Regardless of how societies define beauty, she believes that "the truth is, that the more you respect yourself, the more beautiful you become both inside and out."
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.
