Lawrence Casey
Birthplace:
New York City, New York, USA
Born:
November 8, 1940
Lawrence "Larry" Casey was born in 1940, one of eight siblings (William Jr., Paul, John, Joseph, Mary, Peter, and the late Michael), born to to William and Florence Casey. When Larry was 10 years old, his family moved to Manhattan's East Side where the very tall and athletic Larry played baseball and one day wanted to become a professional ball player. Casey's father died in February 1955 and Larry gave up baseball to work after school to help support the family. He graduated high school in 1958. In 1962 his mother bought a dairy farm in Guilford, where she would live with her sons Paul and John until her own death in December 2004, almost 50 years after she was first widowed. Larry Casey and his wife Katha have three children.
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.
