Tamara Bleszynski is an Indonesian actress, singer, and model. She has been interested in acting most of her life. She took extracurricular drama classes in junior high school and continued acting in high school. She obtained a bachelor's degree in Business Management at St Brigid's College Australia but continued to be interested in acting, so she joined the Theatre Institute. Upon her return to Indonesia, Bleszynski was noticed in a record store by Jay Subiyakto, who suggested she should become a model. She got a contract to advertise Lux, a beauty soap. Bleszynski began acting in soap operas with her appearance in Anakku Terlahir Kembali (1996) and its sequel, where she appeared with teen idol Desy Ratnasari. Returning to acting after the birth of her child in 2000, she appeared in Doa Membawa Berkah (2000), directed by Ahmad Yusuf. She converted to Islam, and began appearing in religious soap operas. She played in Wah Cantiknya !!! (2001) and Hikmah (2004), for which she won "Favorite Actress" at the 2004 and 2005 Panasonic Awards. Bleszynski's first appearance in a film was in Issue (2004), followed by Big Day (2006).

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.
