Kirsten Baker made her film debut in California Dreaming (1979). Throughout the late 1970s and early 1980s, she worked as an actress in feature films and television, as well as a print model for Cannon Pictures. This led to a modeling career which she pursued into the early 1990s. Circa 1993, Kirsten was no longer acting or modeling; she was employed at an art gallery on Melrose Ave. in Los Angeles, CA. - IMDb Mini Biography By: Dave Grubka Kirsten was born to Mai-Britt Gabrielsen in Norway, but at six weeks of age was brought to California and adopted by William and Sally Baker. Kirsten, along with her younger brother Clayton, were raised just outside of Los Angeles. Before graduating from high school with a golden-seal mid-term, Kirsten had begun modeling to save money for art school. She started with Adrian's Teen Modeling Agency in Pasadena, and then transferred to Nina Blanchard in L.A. - IMDb Mini Biography By: Dave
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.
