A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Birthplace:
Birmingham, England, UK
Iris Bristol was a popular pin-up model of the 50s and 60s who was born in Birmingham, England and moved to California in the mid 50s. Among men's magazines, Bristol graced the covers of and/or did pictorials in "Adam," "Beau," "Candid," "Best for Men," "Modern Man," "Parade," "Sir Knight," "Follies," "Gala," "Rogue," and "Nugget." She posed for many pictures for noted glamor photographer and adult filmmaker Russ Meyer. Her photos usually had a primitive jungle motif and often featured Iris wearing her trademark leopard print bikini. Bristol made guest appearances on episodes of the TV shows "The Alfred Hitchcock Hour," "Thriller," and "Adventures in Paradise." Moreover, Iris acted in a few nudie cutie shorts and had small parts in the movies "My Fair Lady," "The Notorious Landlady," and "Eve and the Handyman." She married actor Jeff Daley and had one child with him.
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.
