Biography from TheMovieDB

Fie Carelsen, stage name of Sophia de Jong (April 5, 1890 – July 21, 1975), was a Dutch actress.  She made her debut in the Dutch East Indies with the Kimmel & Chrispijn Company. Back in the Netherlands, she made her debut with Dr Willem Royaards' N.V. Tooneel as Blanche in Shaw's "Widower's Houses", staying with this company until 1914. After that she joined the Koninklijke Vereeniging Het Nederlandsch Tooneel. From 1917 Eduard Verkade was in charge of this company; under his direction, her talent came to full development and she gradually became a widely recognised stage actress. On her 25th anniversary in 1932, she played the title role in the play Mata Hari. In 1934 she joined the cast of feature film Malle Gevallen.  She was married to Dutch cabaret artist Jean-Louis Pisuisse from 1913 to 1920. She acquired ownership of Pisuisse's grave in 1970 and stated in her will that she wished to be interred in his grave. In 1976 the Pisuisse Prize was established from her estate, for the best theatrical performance by a pupil of the Academie voor Kleinkunst.

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.

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.
