Jodi Foster

Jodi Foster actually began her career in the limelight when she was just three years old as a child model, and only about 3 years later, she had her acting debut in the television sitcom Mayberry R.F.D. Foster continued to act in television and film, but got her real breakthrough when she starred in Martin Scorsese’s film, Taxi Driver, as a child prostitute in 1976. In the 80’s the industry struggled slightly to accept Foster in adult roles, until her unforgettable performance in The Accused in 1988, for which she received the Academy Award for Best Actress. She won her second Academy Award for Silence of the Lambs just three years later. Foster has been providing us with incredible performances ever since.
