In the late 1980s she began a white-hot run that included a pair of best actress Oscars for her performances in The Accused (1988) and The Silence of the Lambs (1991), as well as her debut as a director, Little Man Tate (1991). At Yale, she studied literature, and she says that, even now, she approaches her roles through the written word, through story, and imagery-as a director, in other words. But still she doesn’t feel herself to be a native performer. Really, how do you top a role in Martin Scorsese’s masterful Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore (1974) at the age of 12? How about a scene-stealing, and Oscar-nominated performance in his next film, Taxi Driver (1976), at the age of 13? For Jodie Foster, the trajectory has always been upward and steep-even if the ultimate destination was a little unclear, especially to her.īorn in Los Angeles in 1962 and raised by her mother (along with a video village of technicians) from one film set to another, Foster, now 53, hardly even remembers a time before she was an actress.
But I am OLDER NOW, and SOMETIMES I WONDER whoI WOULD have BEEN and WHAT ABOUT me WOULD have CHANGED had I NOT had THESE EXPERIENCES as a YOUNG PERSON.
