Szonja Jakovits

Producer · Born February 23, 1970 (56) · Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA

Szonja Jakovits was raised in Providence, Rhode Island; and got her start in the 'industry' by working in the Trinity Repertory Company, in Stage Management. After attending Rhode Island College, she toured Canada with Bill Glassco's production of "Nothing Sacred" in 1989. She then spent two years in Seattle working in Stage Management for ACT, Alice B. and Empty Spaces Theatres.

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.
