A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Misono Sakura (美園さくら, May 6th) is a Japanese actress and former Top Musumeyaku for the Moon Troupe in the Takarazuka Revue Company (2019-2021). In 2022 she announced acting wasn't for her and went on to attain a graduate degree in psychology from Keio University. Citing her time in the Takarazuka Revue as a big inducer of stress at the time, she stated that helping others-especially young people- is most important to her and wishes for the stigma surrounding mental health issues in Japan to be reduced. She has since made a return to the stage appearing in the 2024 Umeda Arts Theater production of Death Takes a Holiday playing the starring role of Grazia.
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.
