Biography from TheMovieDB

Lezley Zen is an adult actress hailing from Charleston, South Carolina. Before embarking on a career in the adult entertainment industry, Zen already had a career as a restaurant manager. She managed a Westin Hotel restaurant and Italian Trattoria in South Carolina. After divorcing her first husband she began competing in bikini and wet t-shirt contests. She eventually met her future fiance, Trevor Zen (then a personal trainer), and began working with him. Through contacts made in the various contests she entered, she set up a meeting with Brad Armstrong and Jonathan Morgan of Wicked Pictures. Her first adult film was Wicked's Serenity's Roman Orgy in 2001. She has stated in interviews that she originally became a porn star to both pay off debts she had accumulated from her divorce and to "spite" her fiancé, who began appearing in pornographic movies at the same time she did. The two also appeared in scenes together in several movies. Zen was represented by herself and appeared in various soft core movies for Playboy TV, HBO, Cinemax and Showtime.

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.
