4. FACTS & FIGURES
====================

   * A HUGE  note of gratitude goes to Kevin Arvin who supplied  over  7000
     entries and gave this list a kick start. THANKS. Also, thanks  to  Ray
     Hamel who has consistently provided me with additions to the list.

   * The BIOGRAPHY  database exists in addition to the  plethora  of  movie 
     related  lists  that  are available. It is meant to  give  the  reader
     access to information about individuals in the movies.

   * Col Needham's Movie Database Scripts (from 2.7) support it fully.

   * The List currently contains 7777 entries with 67 mini biographies.

   * This  is  only  a subset of the full list, which can  be  obtained  by
     FTP,  or  by using the scripts that come with the Movie Database.  See
     later notes.

   * A  selection of biographies will be posted to rec.arts.movies, with  a
     request  for  people  to fill in the blanks.  The lists will  then  be
     updated  with  the new information.  However your are free  to  submit
     biographies for anyone at anytime.
 
   * This list was inspired by Rob Hartill.

5. RULES
==========

   1. Any  submissions  must have "BIOGRAPHY" in the subject  line  of  the
      mail.  Multiple entries may be sent in one mail message.

   2. All  copyrighted material is *excluded* from the BIOGRAPHY  database.
      This includes Movie Guides, Newspapers, Biographies etc.

   3. You   must  stick  to  the  pre-arranged  format  given  below.   The 
      biographies  will be read in by a program, and will automatically  be 
      added to the list. Any non-conformant entries will be discarded.

   4. Try and keep biographies reasonably concise.

   5. The  list compiler has the right to choose which information to  use.  
      Information  from  a number of sources may be combined to  provide  a 
      single biography.

   6. If possible, run your mini-bio through a spell checker.

   7. Any  libelious or slanderous entries will, unfortunately, have to  be 
      discarded.

   8. When  submitting  Trivia, if appropriate, try and include a  date  so
      that some form of chronology can be formed.
