Wendy Hamilton was born on December 20, 1967 in Detroit, Michigan. Wendy grew up on Florida's Gulf Coast. Her father raced Corvette sports cars and was a test pilot for speed boats while her mother was a fashion model. Hamilton started out modeling swimsuits at age twelve in local fashion shows; she made her modeling debut at a shopping mall in Bradenton, Florida in 1979. Wendy was the captain of the basketball team the Hurricanes at Manatee High School in Bradenton. In 1988 she survived two brutal automobile accidents which occurred at the same exact Detroit intersection (one of these crashes sent her flying through the windshield of her car and the resultant severe injuries required 180 stitches). Hamilton was the Playmate of the Month in the December, 1991 issue of "Playboy." Wendy was featured in a large number of "Playboy" videos and posed for a slew of "Playboy" newsstand special editions. Wendy Hamilton not only made a guest appearance on an episode of the TV series "NewsRadio," but also acted in several low-budget movies which include "Ski School 2," "The Dallas Connection," and "Midnight Temptations."
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.
