Marie Eykel is a Quebec actress born on April 2, 1948. The daughter of a Dutch father and a Quebec mother, Marie's mother was Rose Léonard and her mother was Irish. Marie lived a good part of her youth in Saint-Lambert. A theatre festival from her youth, she exercised her talent in several experimental theatres, worked for Paul Buissonneau's Roulette, before playing the role of Passe-Partout in the tele-series of the same name broadcast at Télé-Québec (Radio-Québec at the time) from 1977 to 1998. This series was remarkable for a whole generation, at a point called the "Passe-Partout Generation". Later she remained associated with this character, which greatly harmed her to gain a significant role after the withdrawal of the waves from the series.
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.
