She was educated with an Associate of the Arts degree from Oakton Community College in Des Plaines Illinois and she received her Bachelors of Arts degree from Northeastern Illinois University Chicago. While working Beverly Rankin still pursued acting in her spare time. Beverly Rankin can play multiple roles as seen with some of her outstanding work as an actress in different movies that she has been in. Rankin takes on the role as the DSP. "Director of the Space Program" in Lost on Mars and also portrayed a villain in Empire of Danger which she pulls off a remarkable transformation as an actress performing as the Sorth. She amazes the audience with her ability to play different roles within the same movie, which is by far one of the hardiest things any actor will have to face as a performer. Beverly is a very talented actress and has a lot to offer the audience. Beverly Rankin has appeared in three full feature movies to date.

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.
