A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Alias:
Sarah French Ellis
Birthplace:
Deptford, London, UK
Born:
February 11, 1983
Sarah lived in Deptford, South East London and attended St Joseph's Primary school in East Greenwich from the age of 8. She often took the lead roles in school productions and her mum ensured she was well kitted out for her roles. At the age of 10 the deputy head of St Joseph's encouraged her to apply for The Sylvia Young School of Dance & Drama, as he was the teacher who ran the school plays. At the end of year 5 Sarah left St Joseph's to join Sylvia Young in September of 1993. Shortly after graduating, Sarah joined the company of the acclaimed production of Sunday in the Park With George playing Celeste 1 at the Menier Chocolate Factory, which also transferred to the Wyndham's Theatre in the West End. Previous theatre work includes the Sondheim 75th Gala at Drury Lane. Her TV credits include the regular character of Alison Peters in EastEnders, Samantha and Julie in Little Britain, Jess in Casualty, Keeley Porter in Hope and Glory (series 1,2 and 3), herself in The Fame Game, Annabell in Anything's Possible, Sarah in Chalk, Zara in The Biz, Chelsea Fenton in Club Dad and Rebecca Wade in I Hate This House. Sarah also played the lead role of Anna in the feature film Ashes and Sand.
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.
