I was curious what everyone would think of a second picture space for the cast and crew areas.  The first one appears on the left the second could appear on the right.  I only ask because I have a lot of older movies where the actors were incredibly young and now they are old and do not look as they did in the movie.  I am using how they currently look but sometimes I have to ask myself who they played as they do not look as they do now.  This is especially the case with actors who were children in the movie and have now grown up.  A good example of this is, "Annie." Aileen Quinn who played Annie was a child then.  She has grown up now and is still acting but looks nothing like she did in the "Annie."

I do see where you are coming from... and I can see myself using it on a few... like on movies/shows that an actor was a child in... thinking...

Drew Barrymore in Fire Starter or Cat's Eye it would be pretty cool to have 1 pic of her at the age she was when she made the movies... and 1 current pic of her.

but... I just don't know if I would have a use for it enough to make it worth it. and I don't think I would like to see in most profiles 1 pic and 1 empty box... would kinda drive me nuts!

Yeah, an obvious example for this would be Ralph Bellamy, or Katherine Hepburn (or even Audrey if we're at it), also people like Elizabeth Taylor, Sophia Loren and Brigitte Bardot. I would definitely use this a lot, and one could always duplicate the pic for the 2nd picture in those cases where it's not needed so there's no empty frame.

Well.. there are a handful of actresses where I have two excellent pics.. but most would be blank.. If it was an option where we could add a handful of pictures for some - so we could see those with an additional option whilst looking at the profile - but have the program only show 1 on the screen..

Utopia would of course be if the current picture changes on a mouseover or a click?, or alternatively after a space of time it changes to another picture if available?

I would like to have different pictures per profile. So I could add photos of cast & crew during the production, but this will proberly never happen.

I would like to be able to add headshots on role level. Sometimes the makeup is too good

It sounds to me that people are asking for the ability to change pics with movies.  I did not design the database, but I think this would be very cumbersome.  The database already has a ton of actors in it because they go by more than one name, I know that is being fixed so I do not believe it would be a good idea to have 15 pictures of Audrey Hepburn as she aged because it would probably equal 15 pictures and names in the database.  I think my idea of having two pics would be very workable of the suggestion that you could add multiple pics that would change over time would be a neat feature.  I do not believe that a photo for ever role would be a good idea though as it would add way too many names to the database.
