Kate Clarke starred in the Emmy Nominated Sophie Chase, won the ‘Best Actress’ Award for her role of Beth in Playground Girls and was nominated for ‘Best Actress’ at the Pixie Awards for the short film Lumina 12. Before acting, Kate worked as a nurse in hospitals, nursing homes and home health care. She grew up a tomboy playing every sport through high school and in a typical midwest family with hard working parents and a brother who was always (and still is!) finding new ways to annoy her. Kate’s acting career began in her hometown of Minneapolis, Minnesota with the film 20/20 Vision starring along with Jesse Ventura. “Jesse Ventura shares the screen with an extremely talented cast. Lead actress Kate Clarke is a beautiful, young talent.” -Star Tribune Next up, she appeared with Dave Attell in fellow Minnesotan and comedian, Mitch Hedberg’s Los Enchiladas!, a comedy favorite which screened at the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah. After moving to Los Angeles, Kate’s performance in Playground Girls won her a ‘Best Actress’ Award and later screened at MOCA during the Basquiat Exhibit. “Kate has charisma and prescence and stands above this film with fire and originality.” -TNT In Grace Kate tackles the difficult role of Gabby with ALS (Lou Gehrig’s Disease). “Featuring incredible performances by its cast, especially the leads Kyle Ingleman and Kate Clarke, Grace is a raw, emotional journey that is both heartfelt and stirring.” -Tim Shively Kate has taken on a variety of roles ranging from vampires to mothers to superheros to doctors. In Grayson Kate kicks ass as Wonder Woman! In USAF she is an Air Force Sergeant in Afghanistan. In the comedy with Michael Jackson and Eric Roberts, Miss Cast Away, she is beauty pageant contestant Miss Iowa. Kate’s other credits include Street Kings, Hancock, Entourage and more. Visit IMDb for a full list of credits. Kate is currently living in Los Angeles with her better half and two dogs. She is a published poet and her artwork has shown in galleries around LA. Her screenplay, Carney, won in Variety’s Jury of Peers Screenplay Competition and she most recently joined in on some Improv at the Upright Citizens Brigade.

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.
