Jodi Knotts

Jodi began her acting career in San Francisco (1982), under the tutelage of theater guruJean Shelton, just after graduating from Montgomery High School in Santa Rosa, California. Since then, Jodi has appeared in dozens of theatrical productions on some of the most prestigious stages in San Francisco and Los Angeles. Shortly after earning her SAG Card in 1986, Jodi's career took flight, where she appeared on some top-rated TV shows and features in the last twenty years, such as Junior (1994), On ne vit qu'une fois (1968), "Stop with the Kicking/HBO", Murphy Brown (1988), Mariés, deux enfants(1987), Friends (1994), Urgences (1994), Les experts: Miami (2002) and Seinfeld(1989). After meeting her husband, actor Jim Fitzpatrick, the dynamic couple set-up shop (Five Star Studios, Inc.) to produce one- and two-act plays for the stage, in Los Angeles. During this time, film and TV producers began buying the rights to several plays that "Five Star" had created and produced, which prodded Jodi and her husband to expand their operations into film and television. And they have since created several TV pilots ("Godparent$", "Right Hand Man" & Supernatural (2005)) for the Nets, as well as, the feature film, An American Reunion (2003). Jodi and her family have recently relocated to the West/Central Coast of Florida, to build studios and produce feature films. Jodi became interested in entertainment when she was a little girl because of her father, Ed Knotts, who was a guest singer and dancer on The Dodge Dancing Party(1955) with Merv Griffin, and her cousin, Don Knotts. And she has worked with some of Hollywood's biggest stars such as Robin Williams, Kevin Pollak, Dana Carvey, Danny DeVito, Glenn Close, as well as, the Governor of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger. - IMDb Mini Biography By: T.C.

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.
