Gloria Prat

Birthplace:
Buenos Aires, Argentina

Prat was a renowned actress who had her heyday in Argentine cinema and theater during the 1960s and 1970s. She began her career after being chosen from little-known actresses who were able to adapt to the film budget of that time.  In film she was the "fetish" actress, along with Susana Beltrán, of the director Emilio Vieyra with whom she worked in seven of his films, giving her the opportunity to act with stars such as Norberto Aroldi, Osvaldo Pacheco, Ricardo Bauleo, Soledad Silveyra, Federico Luppi and Sandro, among others.  During 1965 she was arrested along with Emilio Vieyra for filming nude scenes for the film Feast of Flesh (Placer sangriento).  On television she was part of the staff of the humorous program La Nut in 1965, and later in La butaca del batuque in 1970.  In theater she was part of comedy companies during the golden age of the magazine genre of the Maipo Theater during the direction of Carlos A. Petit.

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.
