Birthplace:
Anagni - Lazio - Italy

January 8, 1977
Manuela Arcuri is an actress, model, and TV personality who graduated from the Accademia d'arte drammatica in Rome, Italy. She made her first appearances as an actress in Black Holes (1995) and The Graduates (1995). In 1999, director Giorgio Panariello offered her a major role for his film Bagnomaria (1999). A year later, Manuela graced the cover of Playboy Italia's October issue and continued her work for TV shows such as Mai dire Gol, Carabinieri, Festival di Sanremo (1951) and Scherzi a parte (1992). Her most challenging role happened in 2008 for the TV drama Io non dimentico (2008). The Italian beauty continues to excite and impress with the lead role in the series Il peccato e la vergogna (2010) and later with Pupetta: Il coraggio e la passione (2013) where she was joined by iconic Italian actress Eva Grimaldi and won the Best Actress award at Roma Fiction Fest. Manuela Arcuri varies her acting skills while remaining hot and tantalizing with the comedy Non si ruba a casa dei ladri (2016) and romance mini-series Il bello delle donne... alcuni anni dopo (2017).
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.
