Alicia Christian Jodie Foster (born November 19, 1962) is an American actress and director.
Foster was born in Los Angeles, California where she attended the exclusive prep school, the Lycיe Franחais de Los Angeles, before going on to Yale University where she earned a BA in Literature, graduating magna cum laude in 1985.
Foster has made more than 50 appearances in film and television since the age of eight. She began her career at the age of 2 in television commercials, including an appearance as the Coppertone Girl, and then went on to appear in a variety of television series. In film, at the age of 14, she earned a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role in Martin Scorsese's film, Taxi Driver.
Foster is intensively private about her personal life. Having given birth to two sons (Charles in 1998 and Kit in 2001), she has never revealed the identity of the father of the boys or if the boys even share the same father. Because of this and because she has lived with a female companion for several years, many suspect she is a lesbian, though she personally has never made any public statement regarding her sexual orientation. Her brother's biography identifies her as such, but since the book is unauthorized, it is highly suspect.
John Hinckley claimed he shot U.S. President Ronald Reagan to impress Foster.
