Arlene Barshinger was born in Virginia to a military couple in August of 1971. Her mother is Korean and her father is half German and Italian. She is a photographer, radio personality, model, writer, actress and producer. She began her career as a photographer back in high school, working for the local newspaper and on the yearbook staff at her high school. Her middle child, a son, took an interest in acting and film making at the age of 10. She took him to a talent agent (Beverly Brock) who ultimately talked her into acting as well. She signed up with The Brock Agency along with her son. However, it was not until the beginning of 2012 that she jumped into the world of acting. She mostly stayed behind the scenes prior to 2012, helping her son to pursue his dreams. In mid-2012, she was invited to be an entertainment reporter for a Blog Talk Radio show. Within a few short weeks, Arlene was given the opportunity to start her own show called N the Queue.. Two weeks later, her show had become so popular, that she brought on a partner/co-host, Mark A Johnston. She has been an on screen host for a locally produced show Arts in Action which airs on public access network across Northern California. She is also a spokes person for Sacfaddy.com which promotes events and businesses in the Sacramento area. Arlene was in the April 26th, 2013 issue of People Magazines Most Beautiful issue. She was selected as a finalist in People's second year of their nationwide search for natural beauties at every age. This started her modeling career. She's produced, line produced, acted and most recently started working as assistant director on several projects. At the end of 2016, Arlene partnered up with Ron Santiano-founder and partner-of the production company Redcape Cinema based out of Burbank, California. She partnered up with another company MegaReel Entertainment owned by Shawnda Christiansen and worked on several projects together, one of which is being filmed during the 2020 novel coronavirus pandemic titled Six Feet of Separation.

- Crowd Pleaser3
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.
