Lisa Valdez

Birthplace:
San Antonio, TX, USA

Lisa was born and raised in San Antonio, TX. At a young age she realized her dreams of becoming an actress/model. Lisa and her sisters would put on many plays and runway shows for her family and neighborhood kids. In high school she attended a modeling school and did some runway shows for stores such as Target and Melrose. Right out of high school, she did several modeling segments on the morning show, "Great Day SA," a couple calendars, a music video, and more. At this time, she decided to put her dreams aside to have a family. Now that her kids are in their teens, she has decided to jump right back in the game by taking several acting classes and committing herself to become a full time working actress!  Over the last year and half she has been in several feature and short films as a lead and supporting role. These films include "Run," Scarlett,' "Sergio's Ride "Better Than Beaches" and many more. She has made it as background on NBC's TV series "Revolution" and feature film "Pale Blue Dot". Some of her commercials include: HEB, United Airlines, Taco Cabana, Miracle Whip and Rackspace.  Her journey will continue, as she focuses on continuing acting training and landing more lead roles in short films, TV series, commercials, and feature films.

About the Movie Section

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:

  • I added "runners up" to Top 10 lists, treating them as ties where applicable and numbering them accordingly at the bottom of each list.
  • Regarding those polls wherein "franchise" movies were submitted as one project until BFI's policy changed to regard them separately, I treated them as ties and renumbered the affected lists accordingly (e.g. the Godfather films).

Regarding profile removals and data corrections:

  • If you would like your profile removed from this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's gone from their site, it should soon be gone from this site.
  • If you would like to correct movie data on this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's corrected on their site, it should soon be corrected on this site.
  • For additional corrections and profile removals, please e-mail The Open Movie Database (OMDb).

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.
