A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Birthplace:
New Jersey, USA
Born in NJ and raised in Atlanta, GA, Rachel was teased by a boy back in the 7th grade, who said she was "being dramatic," thus launching Rachel's acting career as well as her lifelong struggle with the opposite sex. Having a successful career in both film and television, highlighted credits include This Is Us, Sex Lives of College Girls, and Shameless. Rachel most recently played Mom to Elsie Fisher in Amazon Prime's My Best Friend's Exorcism. Online she's starred in the Funny or Die sketch Realistic Black Mirror and YouTube Red's Sing It. She also performs all over the US with the Netflix show Mortified (live version), where on stage, she reads the intimate secrets of her diaries from 7th grade, an audience favorite. In addition to her film and television appearances, you can find Rachel on most dating apps.
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.
