Sue Rock is a native Texan and began her theatrical career at Marietta Marich's Main Street Theater in Houston at age 7. She became a Company Member of Houston's legendary musical theater venue, Studio VII, at the age of 10. Under the direction of theater owner, artistic director and mentor, Chris "Momma Bear" Wilson, she became seriously engaged with the craft of acting.

Percentiles are each film's standing among all films on MovieCove; the typical film is the median, so one outlier cannot drag it. Percentiles and reviewer scores count the films IMDb credits them on, for now; the Midcredits score bands, the shape of the crowd and the two cards count their MovieCove titles, shows included (a show ranked among shows), appearances as themselves left out. A descriptor is the shape of a title's IMDb rating distribution against the catalog; "most divisive" needs a spread wider than half of all titles, and a card names only a principal credit: a craft role, and on a show a crew role or a run of episodes, never a courtesy credit or a one-off guest spot.
