Lovely, sunny, and shapely blonde stunner Tanquil Lisa "Tai" Collins was born in July, 1962 in Roanoke, Virginia. She graduated from Patrick Henry High School in Roanoke with the Class of 1980. She won the title Miss Virginia USA in 1983, then went to New York City to pursue a modeling career. She made headlines in 1991 when she claimed she had had an 18 month affair with United States Senator Chuck Robb when he was Governor of Virginia. Collins capitalized on her notoriety by both gracing the cover of and posing for a nude pictorial in the October, 1991 issue of "Playboy." Moreover, Tanquil not only acted in a few films and TV shows, but also wrote scripts for episodes of the television series Baywatch (1989) and She Spies (2002). She's a graduate of UCLA and the mother of an adopted son. Collins lives in Malibu, California and runs the foundation A Chance for Children, which takes kids from inner-city areas and shows them common cultural experiences outside of their usual lives.
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.
