Mita Rahman (also Mita Chowdhury; 22 January 1958 – 29 June 2023) was a Bangladeshi-British actress. In the 1970s, Rahman became a notable actress in post-independence Bangladesh, with several television and stage performances. She was known for her role as 'Rabeya' in a 1978 Bangladesh Television adaptation of Nondito Norokey, a novel by Humayun Ahmed. She was also a presenter on the World Music radio programme on Bangladesh Betar. At the height of her career, Rahman got married and moved to Guernsey in the Channel Islands, where she spent the next few decades, raising a family and working in a number of careers. In 2006, she returned to acting. Among others, she performed in a Tara Theatre production of Sonata by Mahesh Elkunchwar, which also played in Dhaka afterwards. She became a more regular presence in Bangladeshi television dramas. On British television, she had supporting roles in series such as This is Going to Hurt, We Are Lady Parts and The Good Karma Hospital. Rahman died near her home in Hitchin, Hertfordshire after suffering from pancreatic cancer on 29 June 2023, at the age of 65. She had two 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.
