Biography from TheMovieDB

Sten-Åke Cederhök, born Carlsson on 30 January 1913 in Båraryd parish in Jönköping County, was a Swedish revue artist, comedian and actor. He grew up in Gothenburg and made his debut in 1929 in Alingsås Folkets Park in a folk play. During the 1930s he worked on various theatre stages, including at the Hagateatern in Gothenburg, and became a well-known entertainer in the city.  Cederhök had a long career in revue and theatre and made his breakthrough with his work with Veckans Revy at Liseberg, which he directed for 25 years. His best-known role came through the TV series Albert & Herbert (1974), where he played one of the two main roles as the charismatic scrap dealer Albert. Cederhök also appeared in other popular programs such as Jubel i busken (1968) and played roles in films and TV series such as Ett köpmanshus i skärgården and Skärgårdsflirt.  In addition to his acting career, Cederhök was a passionate supporter of the football team GAIS and wrote several songs about the club. His last performance was at Liseberg in 1989, and he died on 14 January 1990. He is buried at Kvastekulla griftegård in Partille.

About the Movie Section

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:

  • I added "runners up" to Top 10 lists, treating them as ties where applicable and numbering them accordingly at the bottom of each list.
  • Regarding those polls wherein "franchise" movies were submitted as one project until BFI's policy changed to regard them separately, I treated them as ties and renumbered the affected lists accordingly (e.g. the Godfather films).

Regarding profile removals and data corrections:

  • If you would like your profile removed from this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's gone from their site, it should soon be gone from this site.
  • If you would like to correct movie data on this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's corrected on their site, it should soon be corrected on this site.
  • For additional corrections and profile removals, please e-mail The Open Movie Database (OMDb).

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.
