Tameika Dawkins, born in Charleston, was raised in Nea Makri, Greece, by her naval parents. Her family resided in the Greek fishing town for two terms, over seven years, until the communications tower's collapse led to the base's permanent closure. As an actress, Tameika spent time in Columbia, SC, with her grandfather, a retired Master Sergeant in the USA Air Force, mastering the art of country classics. Influenced in California by six uncles and an aunt, all of whom served in the Armed Forces and spent years across Europe to Istanbul, Turkey, it's surprising she didn't join the military like the rest of her family. Arriving in the United States at age eight, Tameika always had a unique view of the world. She realized her passion for acting and performing on film at her little brother's first birthday when her mother recorded the event. Her diverse cultural experiences and exposures have made her a delightful and lovable presence, much to the pleasure of her audience, in this instant Lifetime classic.
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.
