Maha Hamada, born on September 18, 1974, is a Japanese actress known for her captivating performances. She is represented by the talent agency Horipro and hails from Tokyo. Her interests extend to golfing, showcasing her diverse passions. Notably, her name forms a palindrome. Maha Hamada stepped into the entertainment scene in 1986, marking the beginning of her illustrious career. She made her acting debut in 1989 with the television series "Kamakura Pension Monogatari" and further solidified her presence by taking on a leading role in the 1997 drama "Kore de Kazoku" (This Is Family). On June 17, 2008, Maha shared the joyous news of her marriage to a non-celebrity man. At the time, she was six months pregnant, and on November 8, she welcomed her firstborn daughter into the world. Adding to her growing family, Maha joyfully announced the birth of her second child, a son, on May 29, 2012, through her blog. Maha Hamada's artistic contributions extend beyond the screen as well. Her father is the renowned Western-style painter Yoshi Hamada, and her brother, Rui Hamada, is a professional golfer. Her lineage is a testament to creative talent and excellence.

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.
