I am facing the same issue, in addition I am unable to access 'birth date' and 'death cause' too.

It seems this data is missing by default now:

person.keys();
//['headshot', 'imdbID', 'name', 'filmography', 'mini biography', 'canonical name', 'long imdb name', 'long imdb canonical name', 'full-size headshot']

It might be that we need to add to the info tuple parameter in get_person. By default this is set to ('main', 'filmography', 'biography')

Any tips on how to work around this? I have the same issue with 'birth date'.

Has anyone made progress on this?

I'm working on solving these and similar issues with empty/missing datasets, and will gladly share what I find.

OS: 22.04.1-Ubuntu
Python: 3.10.8
Cinemagoer: 2023.9.23

A recent example of what I'm seeing is trying to get quotes using 'The Matrix' as a test. The official website displays a long list of quotes, yet my attempt turns up an empty dataset:

In [7]: m
Out[7]: <Movie id:0133093[http] title:The Matrix (1999)>

In [8]: m.infoset2keys
Out[8]: {}

In [9]: db.update(m, info=['quotes', 'faqs', 'goofs', 'trivia'])

In [11]: m.current_info
Out[11]: ['quotes', 'faqs', 'goofs', 'trivia']

In [12]: m.get('quotes')
(crickets)

In [13]: m.infoset2keys
Out[13]: {'quotes': [], 'faqs': [], 'goofs': [], 'trivia': ['trivia']}

Look familiar? Any ideas? Reading through a number of other issues, I suspect it's caused by more changes at IMDb.
