Tawny Peaks was the stage name of an adult entertainer. She is now retired from big-bust modelling and stripping and is a housewife in Michigan. In 1998, Peaks won an arbitrated case against a Florida physical therapist who had sued her, claiming he suffered from whiplash because she swung her breasts (the size of which was variously reported at the time as 60HHH and 69HH) into his face while dancing at a club his friends had taken him to for his bachelor party. The man said that her breasts were hard like cement blocks. The case went on television to The People's Court where former New York City Mayor Ed Koch was the arbiter. After having Peaks appraised by a female bailiff, Koch ruled in favor of Peaks, saying that the breasts were "about two pounds each and of average firmness", and not dangerous She retired in 1999, and subsequently had her implants removed, and auctioned them on eBay. One of the implants was bought by internet casino company GoldenPalace.com for $16,766US.
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.
