Alias:
Gloria Fontenot
Gloria O'Brien, started her career with her first commercial at the age of 6. She performed in films, television, records and on stage her entire childhood and teenage years as singer and actress. By the time she was 15 she'd been in 100 films, television shows and commercials, seven Disney Albums, and a solo album. Seven years of Ballet, including performing with the New York Ballet as a child led her into competitive gymnastics where she found a new love for more aggressive sports and athletics. Gloria started her stunt career using her background as a gymnast and martial artist, and her lifetime of professional entertainment experience. Although initially an acrobatic fighter, she became one of the most well rounded and experienced stunt women in the business, with extensive skills in motorcycles, cars, and trucks, she is a SCUBA Divemaster, does underwater safety, fire work, high falls, and just about everything needed in all aspects of stunts. Her passion for Road Bikes, trick riding, motocross and car work brought a whole new dimension to an already successful career. She raced both motocross and sport-bikes, and raced the Baja 1000 fully sponsored in the stock truck category. She has been a member of the Screen Actor's Guild and AFTRA since the age of six. She is a member the Taurus World Stunt Awards. She directed and produced her first project, "Slide", a music video about sliding cars in 2016. She continues writing, producing and directing both music and video. Gloria comes from a family of entertainers. Her uncle, Cubby O'Brien was an original Mouseketeer. Gloria is a mother of two children who are also performers. Her son, Michael is an actor, rapper, writer, and stuntman, her daughter a gifted R&B singer.

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.
