Jodie Foster, original name Alicia Christian Foster, (born November 19, 1962, Los Angeles, California, U.S.), popularly known as Jodie Foster, is an American actress, director and producer. She has won many BAFTAs, Academy Awards and Golden Globes in a career that spanned from her childhood to maturity. She started her Hollywood career at the tender age of three since her mother was a film producer. She appeared in television commercials, sporadic episodes of television series and television movies, initially. Being fluent in French and living in France for many years only helped Foster to make her mark in the French cinema and French music circuit through singing. She acted in various Disney movies even until she was a teenager and her transition into the film career was a bit of a tricky task because her initial movies as non-child artist did not achieve commercial success. But all of this changed when ‘The Accused’ and ‘The Silence of the Lambs’ were released and her performance was critically acclaimed and awarded. Foster is not only an actor of brilliant intensity but also an experimenting director and has directed movies of various genres. For her impeccable contribution to the world of cinema as a woman, she has been awarded with the Crystal Award by Women in Film. More on Jodie Foster
