Buxom, sexy, and shapely blonde looker Lynn Theel was born on March 5, 1951 in Detroit, Michigan. Lynn was involved with dancing and singing while growing up and even sang in various school bands while attending high school. She's a graduate of the Lee Strasberg Theatrical Institute. Theel worked as a cabaret singer in Germany and a horse groomer in California prior to becoming the Playmate of the Month in the July, 1975 issue of "Playboy." Lynn made her film debut with a small part in the excellent surfing epic "Big Wednesday." She had her sole lead role as the titular luckless innocent teenager in the little seen indie drama "Fyre." Theel was gruesomely victimized in two fright films made in 1980: she's brutally raped by a grotesque mutant beast in the terrifically trashy "Humanoids from the Deep" and gets bumped off by a predatory alien hunter in the nifty sci-fi/horror outing "Without Warning." Lynn made guest appearances on episodes of the TV shows "Vega$" and "Code Red." Following a co-starring role in the lackluster "Hollywood Boulevard II," Theel called it a day as an actress and has retired from the profession. Lynn Theel now lives in Hyannis, Massachusetts. - IMDb Mini Biography By: woodyanders
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.
