A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).

Born Graciela Prior Morin, Grace ran away from home at age 14 to follow her lover, taking the place of one of his chorus girls' sisters. Two years later, she was the single mother of a baby, working as a cabaret dancer in Tijuana and being the talk of the town. In 1973, her fame was recognized by the National Actors Association (ANDA) with the title of Diosa de la Noche. She worked for the classy Blanquita theatre and Club Capri. She made it into Televisa soap operas, some of them popular, before starting a movie career, namely with daring nude scenes, as she had startled the nightclub exotic world ten years before.
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.
