Michelle Liu Lee Lyne, (b. 1963) better known as Liu Ling-ling or Lau Leng Leng, is a getai compere and actress. Liu started her career in getai at age 12. Currently, she is involved in production of getai shows and training and grooming of new getai talent. Like fellow getai comperes Wang Lei and Ah Nan, Liu has occasionally dabbled in acting. Her most notable role yet is in the 2006 film 881. Liu used to weigh 95kg, but after a health scare and on advice from her doctor, went on a weight-loss regime. She now weighs 80kg. Liu married her property agent husband in 1998.
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.
