Biography from TheMovieDB

Francesca Buller is a British-American actress born in Surrey, England on January 17th, 1964. Classically trained at London's Central School of Speech and Drama, Buller is best known for her work in Syfy's Farscape in which she donned prosthetic make-up and heavy wardrobe to portray four different aliens: M'Lee, ro-Na, Raxil, and War Minister Akhna. Her work as Akhna in "Bad Timing" earned Buller a nomination for Best Special Guest Television at the Syfy Genre Awards. Other film and television credits include Minnie Chaplin opposite Robert Downey Jr.'s Chaplin, Dr. Taggert in Heat Stroke, and Lilian in Deceived alongside Goldie Hawn and John Heard. Following her training at Central, Buller found success onstage appearing as Jessica in Dustin Hoffman's West End production of Shakespeare's "Merchant of Venice," staying with the show when it transferred to Broadway in 1989, and Ophelia in Shakespeare Theatre Company's 1992 production of "Hamlet" opposite Tom Hulce, for which she received a Helen Hayes award for Outstanding Supporting Actress. Buller now resides in Los Angeles alongside husband Ben Browder and their two grown kids.

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.

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.
