The goal of this project is to spruce up the profiles of each of the 77 now-deceased Academy Award winners for Best Actor and Best Actress.
Right now this project just has one member, me. I am David Randall.
Here are some of the tasks that I think need to be done. I'll be working on them, and could use your help.
- Clean up names to properly distinguish stage names from given names.
- Ensure than dates and places are properly entered.
- Connect profiles to parents, siblings, spouses and children.
- Properly format biographies.
- Flesh out biographies with emphasis on genealogical data.
- Add stickers, categories, etc.
- Add a "headshot" image.
