Cyndi debuted at the age of 12 as Tillie in "The Effect of Gamma-Rays on Man-in-the-Moon Marigolds" at the Hinsdale Village Players in Hinsdale, Illinois. She began her professional acting career in a Nebraska Lottery commercial in 1994. She has written and appeared in many Chicago-based stage productions. Her breakthrough stage performance came in 1999 as Carolyn Bryant in David Barr's "The State of Mississippi vs. Emmett Till" at Pegasus Players in Chicago running to capacity crowds for months. Cyndi joined the Screen Actors Guild in 2000. She recently moved to Portland, Oregon where she continues her work in commercials and independent film.
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:
