The moment you learn that Vanessa Rae Bent was named after Hollywood icon Vanessa Redgrave, it is clear that her path towards stardom began at birth. In fact, the name Vanessa itself means butterfly in Greek, which is why it is so easy to understand how she continues to grow more and more beautiful as a human and an artist. Vanessa is one of those rare souls who actually live in the proverbial moment; she recognizes and embraces the importance of the journey, which is why she will never stop reaching for more. It is easy to look at Vanessa and see why she is a talented model, but the passion that Vanessa holds in her heart is what defines her as a gifted artist and performer. Her chameleon-like ability to transform herself onstage and on camera is a talent that can be honed, however, it comes naturally to Vanessa and always has, which has made people stop and take notice of her artistic abilities for quite some time. Vanessa began at an early age taking ballet, competing in pageants, playing the piano and flute during academic years. Vanessa has always had a passion for the arts and loves to expand her creative side anyway possible. Vanessa believes in the philosophy that "Positive Minds ,Create Positive Realities", a phrase she created when she decided to follow her dreams and she lives by that everyday. Vanessa loves people and being on set gives her the opportunity to meet all different walks of life. It feeds her soul and she loves any chance she gets, to be able to make new friends and touch someone's life in a positive way. - IMDb Mini Biography By: Vanessa Rae Bent

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.
