Biography from TheMovieDB

Inger Valborg Lassen var datter af kommunelærer, cand. mag. senere skoledirektør i Odense Valdemar Sigfred Charles Lassen (19-11-1868 - 22-02-1939) og hustru Harriet Valborg Rasmine Schmidt (1875-1936), der var en søster til skuespillerne Robert og Albrecht Schmidt. Hun debuterede hos Ove Jarne i efteråret 1932 i Svendborg i "Forår i Wien" og virkede ved hans selskab indtil sommeren 1934. Derefter kom hun i et par sæsoner på Dagmarteatret, hvor hun bl.a. medvirkede i "Nu er det morgen", "Kortene på bordet" og "Det levende lig". Sit egentlige københavnske gennembrud fik hun imidlertid på Frederiksberg Teater i årene 1938-41, bl.a. optrådte hun i "Hendes gamle nåde", "Høfeber" og "Anonyme fædre". Senere var hun 1941 tilknyttet Nørrebros Teater, hvor hun bl.a. spillede prinsessen i "Valsedrømme" og sang "Jeg ejer en mand - en bedårende mand" - 1942 Nygade Teatret, 1944 Det ny Teater og fra 1945 var hun fast tilknyttet Folketeatret. Hun spillede de fleste roller indenfor lystspil og operette. En af de sidste roller på Folketeatret var sammen med ægtefællen Angelo Bruun i "Kærlighed". Sygdom og sorg over ægtefællens død var årsag til at hun de seneste år ikke stod på scenen. Hun medvirkede i den tysk/danske film "Für 2 groschen zärtlichkeit" fra 1958. Fra TV huskes hun for sin præstation som moderdyret i Tennessee Williams" Glasmenageriet". Inger Lassen var søster til skuespilleren Finn Lassen. Hun blev 3. september 1937 gift med skuespilleren Angelo Bruun, der døde i 1956.

About the Movie Section

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:

  • I added "runners up" to Top 10 lists, treating them as ties where applicable and numbering them accordingly at the bottom of each list.
  • Regarding those polls wherein "franchise" movies were submitted as one project until BFI's policy changed to regard them separately, I treated them as ties and renumbered the affected lists accordingly (e.g. the Godfather films).

Regarding profile removals and data corrections:

  • If you would like your profile removed from this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's gone from their site, it should soon be gone from this site.
  • If you would like to correct movie data on this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's corrected on their site, it should soon be corrected on this site.
  • For additional corrections and profile removals, please e-mail The Open Movie Database (OMDb).

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.
