Alicia Christian Foster

Alicia Christian Foster, known to viewers as Jodie Foster, seems to have been born a Hollywood star. Today she is one of the most popular female artists. The actress has added two Oscars for the best female roles. In addition, Jody has proven herself as a talented director.

The girl was born in November 1962 in Los Angeles. The baby's father, a retired Air Force lieutenant colonel who was engaged in real estate brokerage, came from a wealthy family. But Jody, who became the fourth child in the family of Lucius Fisher Foster and Evelyn Ella Almond, grew up without a father: he left his wife before the appearance of the youngest daughter. Evelyn, who worked as a Hollywood press agent, had to raise Jody, her two sisters Cindy and Connie, and her brother Buddy on her own.

The youngest daughter turned out to be a real gift for the family. Already at the age of 2, the baby appeared in commercials, and at 7, Jodie Foster's cinematic biography began. She made her debut in the series "The Partridge Family". In the 1970s, Foster starred in several projects at Walt Disney Studios. Thanks to the little star, the means for a comfortable existence appeared in the house. The mother, who became her daughter's agent, agreed to almost all the proposals received from the directors.

Surprisingly, with a terrible job, Jodie Foster managed to study well at a prestigious Los Angeles school, where she studied French in depth. True, relations with peers were not easy. Jody was disliked for her star status and considered too smart.

In 1980, Foster graduated with honors from the Lyceum. She was fluent in French, understood German, Spanish and Italian. As the best graduate, she was entrusted with a farewell speech at the prom.

Jodie Foster got her first major role in junior high. In 1972, the 10-year-old actress played in the family film "Napoleon and Samantha". The girl's partner on the set was Michael Douglas. According to the script of the film, the heroine Foster kept a lion in the house as a pet. During the filming, the animal attacked Jody, forever leaving a terrible memory - several scars on the body.

Directors lined up for a talented little actress. Fortunately, getting consent from the mother to shoot was not a big deal. So Jodie Foster starred in the films "Kung Fu", "My Sister Hank", "Bomber from Kansas", "The Addams Family", "Paper Moon", "Rookie of the Year" and "Bob and Carol, Ted and Ellis." New paintings with the participation of the young artist were released every year. At the same time, one cannot say that they were film masterpieces and brought Foster something else besides money.

The exceptions were paintings by Martin Scorsese. In 1974, the famous director invited Jody to the film "Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore." And after 2 years he involved the girl in the Bugsy Malone project. But fame fell on 14-year-old Foster after filming Scorsese's "Taxi Driver". She played a young prostitute, naive and at the same time cynical. This role turned the teenager into a Hollywood star, but at the same time it almost became fatal.

After graduation, Jodie Foster entered Yale University and took a break from her career for several years. She studied well and planned to graduate in 1984. But the mentally ill John Hinckley appeared in the girl's life. This person saw the painting "Taxi Driver" 15 times. He became obsessed with the young Jody and decided to win Foster's favor by all means.

For this, Hinckley entered the same university, taking a course in writing. He pestered Foster with calls and bombarded with love messages. In March 1981, Hinckley, after watching The Taxi Driver, attempted to assassinate Ronald Reagan. The offender was sure that the murder of the president will certainly help him win the love of the actress.

Foster received her BA in Literature and Honors in 1985. 12 years later, Yale University awarded Jody a doctorate. Curious fact: the IQ of the Hollywood star is 132.

After her role in Taxi Driver, the talented actress was overwhelmed with offers. But now she took up her career in earnest, relegating her mother to the background. Foster only agreed to those roles that she considered worthy. To move away from the role that "stuck" after "Taxi Driver", she starred in the films "Siesta", "Five Corners" and "Dexterous Blow". Jody managed to turn the tide. In 1989, she starred in the drama The Accused, where she literally snatched the main role for herself. And she did the right thing. The picture brought the actress her first Oscar.

The second statuette fell into her hands after the release of the cult "Silence of the Lambs". Jodie Foster's cinematic biography turned out to be on the top that only Hilary Swank eventually managed to reach. The star received 2 Oscars before reaching her 30th birthday.

True, after the release of the film, the artist admitted that she was afraid of the actor Anthony Hopkins on the set, so he got used to the role. In addition, the actress said that the picture had a heavy impact on the woman's psyche. Therefore, she rejected the offer to appear in the film "Hannibal".

In 1995, Foster was again nominated for a statuette for her work in the film "Nell", but the actress was overtaken by Jessica Lange with the film "Blue Skies."

Among the best films of the actress, fans highlight the films "Sommersby", where Foster starred in tandem with Richard Gere, "Maverick", in which Jody's partner was Mel Gibson, and "Contact" by Robert Zemeckis.

Jodie Foster has acquired the image of a fan of her work among her colleagues. Each time she did not play, but literally got used to the role, after which it took her time to return to reality. At the same time, the star became famous for the fact that she is capable of completely different roles. She organically and easily transformed into both comedic and dramatic characters.

In the thriller Illusion of Flight, released in the 2000s, Foster appeared on the screen as an aeronautical engineer Kylie Pratt, who lost her daughter on board a plane. The audience is trying to understand until the end - Kylie suffers from a mental disorder, or is it someone's cruel joke.

Additional popularity was brought by Jodie Foster thrillers "Panic Room", "Not Caught" and the drama "The Brave". Kristen Stewart, an aspiring artist, shone with Jody in the Panic Room.

And in 2008, the audience warmly accepted the comedy "Nim Island", where the main character was again the actress loved by millions.

Foster is not only a talented artist, she is also an excellent director. Jody's debut in this capacity took place in the film "Little Man Tate", which she shot at the age of 29. Later, the company "Polygram" allocated $ 100 million to the director to open his own studio, where Foster filmed "Home for the Holidays", "Beaver" and season 2 of the series "House of Cards". In Beaver, Foster gave herself and Mel Gibson the lead roles.

In 2013, Jodie Foster was awarded the Golden Globe Award for Achievement in Film. This turned out to be just in time, because in the same year the science fiction film "Elysium - Heaven not on Earth" was released, where for the first time Foster's work was mercilessly criticized. In 2016, admirers of Jodie Foster's directorial talent welcomed the new project of the star "Financial Monster".

As a director, the artist appeared in the third episode of the first season of the series "Orange is the New Black" under the title "Request for Lesbianism Denied". In place of the director of this series, Jody asked herself.

In addition, Jodie Foster was honored with a personalized star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. When the star's opening ceremony took place, the artist admitted that she dreamed of getting it precisely for the director's work. In her acceptance speech, the actress first of all thanked her mother. She also shared that there are many ideas in the arsenal of a woman as a director.

In Hollywood, the actress was known as an intellectual. Male colleagues were afraid of the girl and did not dare to start romances. After the release of the picture "Maverick" they started talking about the alleged romance between Foster and Mel Gibson. But he denied the rumors, saying that he could hardly communicate with a partner who could easily knock out a man, because Jodie at that time excelled in boxing.

However, many noted that after talking with Foster, a pleasant impression remains. The actress is a very well-read person.

But the rumors about the gay star turned out to be true. Jodie Foster's personal life hit the top news in the late 1990s and early 2000s. The actress gave birth to sons Charles and Christopher. The first child appeared in 1998, the second - in 2001. Today the guys have already decided on their goals for the future. The artist once shared that she misses the time when she could ride a bike with the children and box.

The name of the boys' father is unknown to anyone, because the artist never mentioned her husband or boyfriend. Rumor has it that the boys were born after artificial insemination. The donor allegedly turned out to be a close friend of Jodie, Randy Stone, who later became the godfather of the kids. But there are those who call Gibson's father. The artists themselves denied this assumption, saying that the couple are connected only by professional relations.

There is evidence that Randy Stone, who fought for the rights of sexual minorities, before his death, convinced Foster to come out (admit his gay orientation). In 2007, the star said that for the past 14 years she has been living with partner Cindy Bernard. But a few months after this revelation, the couple broke up.

Soon Foster had a new lover - screenwriter Cindy Mort. But this short novel was replaced by another, also short-lived, with singer Sophie B. Hawkins.

In the winter of 2013, at the Golden Globe Awards, Jodie Foster officially declared that she was a lesbian. And in the spring of next year, she registered a marriage with actress and photographer Alexandra Hedison.

Back in 2001, Alexandra had an affair with the popular presenter Ellen DeGeneres. The women were in a relationship for three years and then separated.

Interestingly, astronomers Carolyn Shoemaker and David Levy, having discovered the asteroid, named the celestial body after Jodie Foster. The artist suffers from herpetophobia - a fear of snakes.

In 2011, the actress's father was accused of fraud and imprisoned for 5 years.

Jodie Foster is a staunch atheist by religion.

In 2017, Jody directed the second episode of the fourth season of the hit Black Mirror TV series, Archangel.

In June 2018, viewers will see their favorite artist in Drew Pierce's fantasy "Hotel Artemis". The film is set in the near future. Every self-respecting criminal comes for help to the Nurse, whose role went to Jody. The woman runs the Artemis hotel, where club members can relax and heal. But suddenly, for two criminals, a criminal authority comes into the building, who does not care about the main rule of the club - no weapons.
