Minh Châu (born 1956 in Thai Nguyen province), full name Nguyễn Thị Minh Châu, is a Vietnamese actress. She is one of the few Vietnamese artists to be honored with two Golden Lotus Awards. She was famous in the late 80s for her two roles as Nguyệt in the film "Girl on the River" (Cô gái trên sông) in 1987 and Liên in the movie "Woman playing in the Sand" (Người đàn bà nghịch cát) in 1989. In addition, Minh Châu also won a Golden Kite Award for Best Actress for her role of Thường in the 2010 film "Provincial Party Secretary" (Bí thư tỉnh ủy). She was awarded the title of People's Artist in 2015.
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.
