Emmy Newman is the great-niece of Oscar-winner Paul Newman and granddaughter of production manager Arthur Newman. She was born in the Bay Area, California. She was educated at Lewis & Clark College in Portland, Oregon where she studied both Psychology and Theater. While attending, she was awarded an academic scholarship for her work in the Theater Department, recognized for her performance as Queen Marguerite in Ionesco's "Exit the King," and received a vocal scholarship to study singing. As a child, she loved singing, acting and dancing and participated in many school musicals and community theater. It wasn't until college that she decided she wanted to pursue acting as a career. After graduating, she moved to Los Angeles to continue her family legacy in the film industry. She has been in commercials and several short films, including "Life is Horrible," (2016) which won Best Comedy at the United International Film Festival. She studies at the Beverly Hills Playhouse and is excited for what is to come.
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.
