A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Felicity Buirski is an English model, actress and singer who started as a Page 3 Girl in "The Sun" and later developed a music career. Born in Orpington, England, she was the daughter of a virtuoso pianist father and a mother, who was a concert hall singer. She initially worked as a reporter at 18 on the Beckenham Record before taking up acting and singing, starring in "The Stud" with Joan Collins and Walter Gotell in 1979, and singing "The Clock" on the December 26, 1978 episode of "The Benny Hill Show." She also started the arts magazine, "Avant Garde," but a chance meeting at the age of 21 with Leonard Cohen inspired her to take up music again, producing her first album at Run River Records, which was well received by the folk media. It also received the award for Best Folk Album in the Which CD Hi-Fi Music Awards for 1989. Buirski played support to Eric Andersen in 1990 in the USA. She still records as a renowned folk singer.
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.
