Shuna Harwood (born Essex, 1940) is a British costume designer. She was nominated for an Academy Award in the category Best Costume Design for the film Richard III (1995). In addition to film costume design, Harwood also worked as a fashion illustrator and a writer/illustrator of children's books. Harwood designed the costumes for Ian McKellen's 1995 film production of Richard III, which was set in a fictional version of England in 1934. McKellen noted that Harwood's approach to using original vintage clothing was beneficial: "It’s very helpful to put people in clothes which tell something about their personalities, their professions, and their social standing". Later critics have commented on the "beautiful 1930s look" of the costumes, including slinky evening gowns and military detailing. Harwood received the BAFTA award for Best Costume Design for her work on Richard III.

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.
