Description:
Jodie Foster started her career at the age of two. For four
years, she made commercials and finally gave her debut as an actress in the
TV series "Mayberry R.F.D." (1968), on which her brother, Buddy Foster,
was a regular. In 1975, Jodie was offered the role of the prostitute Iris in
the movie Taxi Driver (1976). This role, for which she received an Academy Award
nomination in the "Best Supporting Actress" category, marked a breakthrough
in her career. In 1980, she graduated as the best of her class from the College
Lycée Français and began to study English Literature at Yale University,
from where she graduated magna cum laude in 1985. One tragic moment in her life
was March 30th, 1981 when John Hinckley attempted to assassinate the President
of the United States, Ronald Reagan. Hinkley was obsessed with Jodie and the
movie Taxi Driver (1976), in which Travis Bickle, played by Robert De Niro,
tried to shoot presidential candidate, Palantine. Despite the fact that Jodie
never took acting lessons, she received two Oscars before she was thirty years
of age. She received her first award for her part as Sarah Tobias in The Accused
(1988) and the second one for her performance as Clarice Starling in The Silence
of the Lambs (1991).
