A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Birthplace:
Alliance, Ohio, USA
Born:
July 16, 1972
Steph was born in the very small town of Alliance, Ohio. She was always fascinated with horror, she was watching horror films at age four, both classic and new at the time. So growing up, she loved the B-movie/horror genre. Steph had always dreamed of becoming an actress and doing horror films. But being in Ohio there never seemed to be a chance of that happening. So she decided to become a Veterinarian. At the age of fourteen, in 1986, she moved to California! This is where she started to make her dream of becoming an actress a reality and started to do something about it. Steph attended high school in Oxnard, was in the "Who's Who of American High School Students" for two years in a row, and graduated with high honors. In high school, she began to take drama classes and in college, she majored in Dramatic Arts. After graduation, she took some professional classes to perfect her craft. In 1992, Steph moved to LA and studied different acting techniques with several different coaches, and in 1995, she landed her first role in a film titled Unnaturally Born Killers. She played the part of Jennifer Cartwright and it was there that her status began as a "Scream Queen".

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.
