The lovely and talented Lynn Hancock was born on January 25, 1951 in Palo Alto, California. Lynn grew up in Yakima, Washington. In 1970 she won the title Miss Yakima in a local beauty pageant. Hancock had a regrettably brief acting career; she was especially memorable as bitchy secretary Miss Friedemeyer in the horror cult favorite "Evilspeak" and had a recurring role on the music/comedy variety TV series "The Nashville Palace." Lynn quit acting in 1985 and moved back to Washington. On March 14, 1985 she married her husband Eric Hahn; the couple are the proud parents of a son. An avid martial artist, Lynn earned a black belt in American Kenpo Karate and opened a martial arts school in 1997. Hancock has a 3rd degree black belt and is the Washington State regional representative for the American Kenpo Legacy. Moreover, Hancock has been involved with the physical fitness industry for over forty years; she started out in a small women's gym in Yakima, Washington. She became certified with the American Council on Exercise in 1995. In 2006 Lynn and Eric formed the company Get Real Fit. Get Real Fit has produced a series of fitness DVDs for women. In addition, Hancock has written martial arts manuals and teaches self-defense courses. In 2008 Lynn Hancock became certified as a Lifestyle and Weight Management Consultant with the American Council on Exercise.
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.
