Viivi Dikson (until 1968 Viivi Rändsaar; January 19, 1942 Kohtla-Järve - January 25, 2010 Tallinn) was an Estonian actress. She graduated from Kohtla-Järve 1st Secondary School in 1960 and from the Theater Arts Department of Tallinn State Conservatory in 1965. In the years 1965–1975, she was an actress of the National Youth Theater of the Estonian SSR, and in 1977–1989, a lecturer at the Philharmonic, and in 1989–1991, the program director of Esto-Musika. Later she worked as an entrepreneur.
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.
