Biography from TheMovieDB

​ Jenteal was a former American pornographic actress and was one of the most famous adult stars of her time. Born in Northern California, Jenteal made her way to the San Fernando Valley to begin her career in the adult business in 1994. She started her career with numerous appearances in Penthouse Films, directed by Andrew Blake. Following this, she starred in productions for Vivid Video, soon becoming one of the top Vivid Girls in her class. Jenteal has done layouts for various magazines and started her own company, Mesmereyes Inc., which sells adult products over the Internet. Jenteal started ASN at the age of 20, has formed a corporation, registered her name as a trademark, and created a fully-functioning sales network featuring herself, her products, and those of other adult entertainment stars via the Internet. The Adult Star Network allows fans to visit some of the most beautiful girls in the adult business in an exciting new format. Jenteal has won an assortment of awards for her work in front of the camera and has appeared in many mainstream outlets.  Jenteal received the 1995 AVN Award for Best All-Girl Sex Scene in a Film for Fantasy Chamber and was nominated for Best Actress in a Film and Best Tease Performance by AVN in 1996. In addition, she was awarded the "Best Face in Porn" Award by Ru Paul on the "Ru Paul Show" in April of 1998. She has appeared in advertising campaigns for Fresh Jive Clothes and is the poster girl for Serial Killer Clothes, with advertisements appearing in many national magazines such as Big Brother, Rave, Bikini Magazine, and Skateboarder Magazine. She has also appeared in music videos for recording artists Everclear and Figdish, both of which were discussed by Jenteal in a 1999 article in Rolling Stone Magazine on the connection between rock n' roll and the adult business.  In 2001, Jenteal made her first mainstream film appearance in "Made," written by Swingers screenwriter-star Jon Favreau and featuring Vince Vaughan, X-Men's Famke Janssen, and Peter Falk. The movie also stars John Silverman (The Single Guy) and Tom Morello (guitarist for Rage Against The Machine). Jenteal has also been a regular guest on "The X Show" and has made several appearances on "The Man Show." On October 30, 2020, Jenteal passed away from complications arising from foot surgery.

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.

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.
