Jodie Foster (November 19, 1962) is a two-time Academy
Award-winning American actress, director, and producer. She has also won two Golden
Globes, BAFTA and a Screen Actors Guild Award.
After appearing as a child in several commercials, Foster won her first role in the
1970 TV movie Menace On The Mountain, followed by several Disney productions.
Foster did not experience her breakout role until 1976, when she received moderate
recognition and acclaim for her role as a pre-teenage prostitute in Taxi Driver,
for which she received an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress.
She won an Oscar for Lead Actress in 1988, for playing a rape
victim in The Accused. What many perceive as Foster's breakout performance came in
1991 with The Silence of the Lambs, in which she played the role of Clarice
Starling, a gifted FBI Agent investigating a series of cannibalistic murder
cases.
For this performance she received international acclaim and another
Oscar for Lead Actress. Her films and roles have spanned a wide variety of genres,
including thrillers, crime, romance, comedy, children's movies, and science
fiction. Popular later films include the box office successes Contact (1997), Panic
Room (2002), Flightplan (2005) and Inside Man (2006).
Foster is one of the most private actors in Hollywood, keeping much of her personal
life away from tabloids, and popular media.
She has two children, Charles, born in 1998, and Kit, born in 2001,
though she has never discussed their father.
