Lucia Modugno (Bari, July 9, 1932) is an Italian actress, theater director, and writer. She made her film debut in 1959 with Il generale Della Rovere by Rossellini and has acted in both auteur and genre films, working with directors such as Risi, Scola, Corbucci, and Bava. On television, she appeared in dramas like Anna Karenina and Il segno del comando. On stage, she performed with renowned actors and, since 1980, has led her own theater company, directing plays by authors such as Moravia, Shaw, and Feydeau, often adapting them into musicals. Among her latest productions are Cose turche (2009) and L’Occhio di Eros. From 2009 to 2022, she made cameo appearances in films and TV series directed by Muccino, Avati, and others. In 2022, she joined the main cast of Home Sweet Rome, a new series by Hannah Montana creator Michael Poryes. She has published five books: two on show business, two novels, and a novelized essay.
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.
