Amaëlle Shannon Cunningham, better known by her stage name 'Amaëlle', is a German-born film actress, model, and dancer. From a very young age, Amaëlle immersed herself in the world of performing arts, gaining exposure to various forms of dance, singing, and acting. Known for her strong drive for perfectionism and high-achievement, she began her journey in dance as a dedicated ballet student in Germany and Belgium. Seeking to broaden her horizons, she ventured to Ireland and later settled in London, England, where she passionately pursued her artistic aspirations, immersing herself in the vibrant cultures of dance and musical theatre. Her stage debut occurred as a chorus girl in the West End for The Royal Variety Performance 2008. Amaëlle is a graduate of Middlesex University, where she further honed her skills in various TV series such as Downton Abbey (2010), films like Fast & Furious (2009), and musical endeavours. However, her breakthrough role came with Legend (2015), directed by Brian Helgeland, where she garnered acclaim for her compelling performances.
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.
