Biography from TheMovieDB

Born in Hungary, Elizabeth's family relocated to the U.S. in the late 60s. As a young adult, Elizabeth studied acting and was a model represented by the Bonnie Kay Agency prior to making her dream of becoming a film actress a reality. She landed small roles in a few A pictures (like Woody Allen's Zelig and Arthur Hiller's The Lonely Guy) before graduating to leads in B films. Her first top-billed role came by chance when she was passing a casting agent's office, was spotted and then hired to play the lead role in Slave Girls from Beyond Infinity (1987). Appearances in numerous horror films in the 80s into the early 90s (she was victim to both the Santa Claus killer in Silent Night, Deadly Night Part II and Jason in Friday the 13th, Part VII: The New Blood) earned her the reputation as being a Scream Queen, though her comedic talents were also put to good use in numerous films, including playing a bubbly but none-too-bright go-go girl in the video and cable favorite Assault of the Killer Bimbos (1988).

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.
