A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Alias:
Stella Ng
黃湘怡
Birthplace:
Singapore
Born:
December 17, 1980
Stella Ng grew up in Singapore as a well-adjusted girl whose interests included guitar-playing and singing. At 18, she was already taking on modelling assignments in Singapore, including a fruit juice advertisement opposite Malaysian singer Ah Niu. She also wrote lyrics for singers such as Fann Wong. This led to a recording company signing her on in 2000, and in 2001, she released her debut album. This album portrayed her as the sweetest girl-next-door and sold 100,000 copies in Taiwan. This also led to her doing a drama serial in Taiwan. Her next album in 2002 positioned her as a singer-composer with some success. In 2003, she starred in her first movie Zhongguo gongfu shaonu zu (2003) and another drama serial filmed in Singapore. In 2004, she released her third Mandarin album.
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.
