Lawrence Davis, a native of Baltimore Maryland, hit the Entertainment scene in July of 2001, and hit it hard. After styling hair for 11 years in his hometown, he sold it all, moved to California, and never looked back. After looking at fashion magazines, television, and movies saying, "I can do that," he made it happen. Once establishing himself as a freelance hairstylist in Hollywood, he knew it would pay off. Working for E! Entertainment Television since 2002 has opened numerous doors. His next goal was to become a union hairstylist in Hollywood, which he did in 2005. Lawrence came on board The Tyra Show in season one, and landed an Emmy award for Outstanding Achievement in hairstyling for daytime television in season two. Positive thinking and great networking has been the key to his success. He has styled for numerous clients for movies, commercials, TV shows, ad campaigns and editorials including Instyle, Essence, Harpers Bazaar, Self, Newsweek to name a few. Making people look beautiful. Makes Lawrence feel good and he loves what he does...

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.
