Chameleon character actress, Brenda Jo Reutebuch, was born Brenda Joan Sisson, October 25, in Adamsboro, Indiana. Brenda was quite the tomboy growing up. She spent most of her early childhood working with her father caring for the animals on their farm & fishing in the nearby rivers. Although Brenda Jo had been involved in the local theater and music programs in Logansport, Indiana during her school years, it would be years later before she made her film debut, at the age of 50. Brenda Jo attended St. Paul Bible College (SPBC), in Minnesota, for 5 years studying in the Music Education & Church Music programs, always expecting her career to be in the field of music. She had been performing vocal music in public since grade school, and in the 4 years at Logansport High School, she was classically trained in private vocal lessons by Mr. Joseph Huffman. Her vocal training continued at SPBC under the tutelage of Mr. Leland Flickinger. Brenda Jo has also been a member of a variety of musical groups, both vocal and instrumental. She has a near 4 octave vocal range. And plays "at" the piano/keyboard, clarinet & guitar. She is also a freelance/BTS photographer. Soon after a Chicago ARTS Showcase, Brenda signed with the Helen Wells Agency, Indianapolis, Indiana. Within 2 years of this Chicago event, Brenda Jo's performance opportunities grew, including live theater performances and several film, commercial & television opportunities, starting with an indie feature, "This Promise I Made" (2012). And now her passion for music has been utilized in film, as she has written her first song (Father Hold Me) for a feature film (Rose Wagon), a soon to be Christmas classic family film. She also sang 2 Christmas solos in this film. Brenda Jo is looking forward with great anticipation to her future in the Arts, both on stage & on the screen.

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.
