Jodie Foster

Biography

Beginning with the cinema

Born the November 19th 1962 with Los Angeles, California, the United States, it begins its career at two years with publicities, during four years, and begins the series Mayberry R.F.D. (1968).

She sees herself offering the role of a prostitute in 1975 in the film Taxi Driver (1976). It is starting from this film there, and thanks to De Niro, which it feels truly actress. As she entrusted to AlloCiné: " When I was young, I did not include/understand really what was the trade of actor. I thought that it was a little a trade of idiot. I had the impression that the only thing to be made was of reading lines that someone else had written, just to read them rather naturally. It is all. Until the twelve years age, the age where I met Robert De Niro for Taxi Driver , it was like that. But when Robert decided to deal with me, to take to me under his wing, I understood that to be an actor was something of different completion. I understood that a character had to be built. Me that had never been asked when I was young. One gave me just very simple indications like " Would be more heureuse" or " Speak more vite" ! Therefore, it is really while working with Robert De Niro whom I included/understood what was the trade of acteur."

At 13 years, she plays a part of vamp in a parody of Maffia. Film of Alan Parker, Bugsy Malone is played exclusively by children. Success which crossed time. In 2003, Bugsy Malone is placed 19th on 100 of the “greatest musicals”, better than The Phantom off the Opera , Cats , and The King and I .

In 1980, it is graduate French Lycée of Los Angeles and studies the English literature with the Université of Yale where it obtains a Bachelor off Arts Magna cum laude in 1985. Speaking perfect French and without any accent, it makes a point of carrying out itself doublings of its characters in the language of Molière. It is thus its own voice which one hears in the majority of the French versions of his films.

the Defendants

In 1988, it is revealed in the Defendants of Jonathan Kaplan. She interprets there Sarah Tobias, an young woman victim of a rape which defends its case. The actress Jodie Foster had to deal with testing the scene of the rape at the beginning of turning. Kaplan indeed wished to turn this scene in first, so that the actress immediately includes/understands the pain of her character. With this testing role, Jodie Foster receives its first Oscar in 1989.

Catchfire

It is then with Dennis Hopper and Alan Smithee to direct it in Catchfire . She interprets there a pilot young woman of a murder of the Maffia, which flees by changing identity. The hired killer (Refusals Hopper) engaged to kill it finds it but fall in love with it. This film saves to him popularity.

the Silence of the lambs

She reiterates her performance of the Accusés , in 1991 by interpreting the young recruit of the F.B.I. Clarice Starling in the thriller the Silence of the lambs of Jonathan Demme. The film, which makes it play sides Anthony Hopkins, brings international glory to him. The preparation of film was done in a great preoccupation with a realism. To familiarize itself with the universe of the agents of the F.B.I., it carried out with Scott Glenn a long preparatory work with them, and spent much time to study the techniques, but also the frame of mind of these people.

At the time of the exit of film, Jodie Foster was expressed on its point of view of the history and its character, refused by Michelle Pfeiffer: " During all our early childhood, one saw a whole series of thing which will influence our reactions, all our life: the small dramas, the tragedies which one undergoes then can lead an individual to assassinate people, and another individual to be tested of the sauver."

At the time of the ceremony of the Oscars 1992, the Silence of the lambs raid, with the general surprise, five major statuettes (better film, better realizer for Jonathan Demme, better actor for Anthony Hopkins, better actress for Jodie Foster and better adaptation for Ted Tally, and this in spite of the bankruptcy of the Orion production company and the advertizing lack of budget which resulted from this), which makes it possible Jodie Foster to gain its second Oscar and to carry out the most beautiful performance of its career.

the Small Man

It decides to pass to the realization with the Small Man in 1991. It is the history of Fred Tate, exceptionally gifted child separate of his mother (whom Jodie Foster interprets) to develop its genius within an specialized institution. The film is a success and offers to one main actors Diane Wiest to magnificiently play.

In 1998, at the time of the exit of Contact , Jodie Foster, invited newspaper of 20:00 of France 2, was expressed on the problem of exceptionally gifted with the Small Man . Bruno Masure also speaks about his incredible course to the cinema. The journalist asks to him whether it is well to entrust his exceptionally gifted child at an institution like Fred or to keep them within their family, and which is the conclusion of film. The actress answers him: " I do not know, it is a great question. Certainly, the exceptionally gifted children or the child prodigies as one says is a special case, and must be treated in a a little bit different way because they are found solitary in the life. It is especially this topic which interested me: the topic of the recluse. The spendthrift who is solitary because it must save the world. It is him which says two plus two equal five, and thus it will not be very popular. At the end, it manages to balance the two sides of its life, i.e. the intellectual and emotional side. It arrives at this saying that it is different, but that it is perhaps not so badly of the être."

Sommersby

Jodie Foster turns then with Richard Gere in Sommersby of Jon Amiel (remake of the French film the return of Martin war ). The film tells the history of Sommersby Jack, a man who returns in his village after the Civil war. It finds there his son, his friends, but especially his wife, Laurel. This one does not recognize really the man that she married formerly. Although it does not add up the scores of preceding films of Foster, Sommersby is a success.

Maverick

Jodie Foster turns then to the sides of Mel Gibson in the comedy Maverick in 1994. Whereas it prepares has to take part in the tournament of the century, Maverick, professional of the poker, find themselves without the penny, death threat by a bad loser named Angel and ridges some with the provocations of a young person and good player, Anabelle Blansford (Jodie Foster), which is shown always more arousing all while being concealed obstinately with its advances.

Nell

After Maverick , she interprets a girl, Nell, born from a rape which has occurred twenty years before his/her mother does not die, in Nell of Michael Apted at the sides of Liam Neeson. The young girl was high with the variation of the world and in fear of the men. This film does not equalize the score of preceding films of Jodie Foster, but there remains one of most beautiful films of its career.

Weekend in family

Jodie Foster decides to pass by again with the realization with a new comedy, Week-end in family . In this film, interpreted inter alia by Holly Hunter and Claire Danes, Claudia Larson (Holly Hunter) sees arriving with a strong apprehension Thanksgiving, celebrated by million Americans. Its dismissal, his/her daughter who decides to be made déflorer in the forty-eight hours, do not make that to crystallize a little more its anguish of the family festivals. To face this meeting and its family, Claudia launches a S.O.S to his/her brother Tommy (Robert Downey Jr.), which must join it in Baltimore in their parents. But what is announced as a drudgery will finally bring to Claudia an unhoped-for delivery. The film is a failure, and Jodie Foster is done increasingly rare, preferring to devote itself to its family.

Contact

After being appeared in the series TV, Frasier and X-Files, at the borders of reality , Jodie Foster dropped Complots , to take again a project which went back to 12 years, Contact . In 1985, George Miller, the first realizer to be been interested in film, offers the role of Ellie Arroway to Jodie Foster. Without hesitating, it accepts the voyage. Meanwhile, the realizer of Mad max is isolated project. Twelve years later, the realizer Robert Zemeckis ( Return towards the future ) takes again the project. In this thriller on the extraterrestrial search for intelligence, Jodie Foster interprets brilliant an astronomer who detects an extraterrestrial signal in which it decodes a message.

Anna and the King

Two years later, Jodie Foster replaces Kate Winslet in Anna and the King . She interprets there Anna Leonowens, which, having lost her husband, leaves India with his/her Louis son for Siam where she must ensure the education of the fifty-eight children of king Mongkut. She discovers a world there complexes and secret dominated by an alive god who exerts on his subjects a power without division. Accommodated with mistrust, Anna shows at the same time charming lady, farm and diplomat, not hesitating to hustle the protocol. The king, who aspires to reform his country carefully, accepts readily these distorsions with the tradition.

During turning, a small fall is enough to put in agitation the producers of film after the diagnosis of the doctors who prescribe two days of forced rest.

At the time of its exit, only the trailer of film displeased to the persons in charge of the censure in Thailand. What they reproach is coarse historical errors. In film, Chow Yun-Conceited person handles the sword like an Chinese! criticized a critic who continues: It is not what we expect to see of a king inhabitant of Thailand . The team of film had not obtained the authorizations to turn on the spot. They asked to see film in entirety, now that it is finished had declared Jim Gianopolous, the president of Fox. It makes the corrections necessary to like the censure.

This film is very respectful. We hope that by seeing it in his totality, they will not have specific objections . Fateful projection will take place at the beginning of December. The previous model of this history, turned in 1956, is always prohibited in this country. With a budget of 75 , dollar million Anna and King garnered only 40 million of them on the American ground.

The Dangerous Lives off Altar Servant boys

After a three years pause, Jodie Foster played and produced, The Dangerous Lives off Altar Boys of Peter Care. The film tells the history of a group of students in a Catholic school. These young people find themselves behind the bars after having published a cartoon obscene. Of return to the free air, they develop a burgling of such a width that it will erase their old fixed price and will make them local legends. The actress interpreted a nun there. Left in 2002, the film does not attract the public. With however a budget of 12 million dollars, the film gains of them practically 2 million.

Panic grass Room

To cure the failures of Anna and to the King and of The Dangerous Lives off Altar Servant boys , Jodie Foster replaces Nicole Kidman in the thriller Hitchcockien Panic Room , under the direction of the talented realizer David Fincher ( Fight Club ). Jodie Foster interprets there Meg Altman, thirty year which very badly lived separation with her husband and is distressed with the idea to have to only raise his/her Sarah daughter. In order to begin a new life far from its fears, Meg buys immense and splendid house located in a crested district at the west of New York. Its former owner made there build on the last floor a part of safety in which one can take refuge in the event of external threat and remain locked up many days thanks to the provisions that it contains. However, Meg would never have thought of making use of it as of the first evening. Indeed, three burglars, Burnham (Forest Whitaker), Junior (Jared Leto) and Raoul (Dwight Yoakam), penetrated in the house with the firm intention to conceal a sum of fourteen million dollars hidden by the former Master of the places. Any door to believe that these spoils are dissimulated in the part of safety, where Meg and Sarah took refuge. This film points out the Silence of the lambs . Left on April 24th 2002, the film is the signal of the boxoffice and garners nearly 100 million dollars of receipts, for a budget of 48 million dollars.

long Sunday of engagement

In 2004, Jodie Foster turns to France long Sunday of engagement of Jean-Pierre Jeunet. Before being selected, the actress had already expressed her desire to work with the realizer of the Fabulous Destiny of Amélie Poulain . Jodie Foster interprets a supporting role there, at the sides of Audrey Tautou alias Mathilde, an young woman inquiring into the disappearance of sound promised in marriage (Gaspard Ulliel) during the First World War. I adored this film. For me, to play in this film, it was a treat, as a dessert! I had met Jean-Pierre Jeunet to say to him, quite simply, that I wanted to play in one of his films: " It does not matter the character, if you made a film, you call me, and if there is character for me, I would adore to do it! " It was brilliant to belong to this turning, to see how Jeunet worked, how he saw the things behind the camera. It is really a visionary. And then it is sympathetic, too! (laughter) It is brilliant to work with somebody the sympathetic one! it declared during the promotion of Flight Plan , its following film.

Flight Plan

Absent from the screens in a first role since Panic grass Room in 2002, Jodie Foster made its return to the cinema with Flight Plan , a feature-length film produced by Touchstone, subsidiary of the Disney studios. Realized by Robert Schwentke according to a scenario of Billy Ray, the film is a " thriller hitchcockien" , in which she plays a young widow from which the girl disappears mysteriously during an air flight. Flight Plan mark the fifth collaboration of Jodie Foster with Disney in addition to 25 years. A return to the sources all in all, the actress having made her beginnings behind the camera in 1972 in Napoleon and Samantha , under the aegis of the famous studios.

The actress was explained during promotion: " Me, to really start from my life: to become obsessed by a film for example, it is necessary really that it is some thing of important for me, which touches me personally. The character, it is especially him which touched me. It is a character who changes so much, which begins film while really trying to keep its emotions, to keep them inside and gradually it becomes increasingly desperate, and that the cause to blame the others, to become hysterical, to be confused, even at a certain point to become insane. Up to the point she assumes herself as hero, as a heroin at the end of film.

It is true that Panic Room and Flight Plan is both of the thrillers, which occur in rather narrow places. And also, I have a child. I have a girl in two films. But, I think nevertheless that they are rather different. It is true that I am always attracted by the dramas, I like a little black things, a little catastrophic. But, they are different. Especially, the film of Fincher is very visual where the camera plays a kind of character and the camera is with share of the action and it in this film, the camera belongs to my experiment. I.e. it is the profile of somebody of desperate who is in the train of disintegrated. And it is that which is interesting in film, it is that the film and the character are unis."

With 55 million dollars of budget, Flight Plan was a paperboard in 2005 with $89,707,299 of receipts.

The Inside Man

New thriller for Jodie Foster. In 2006, it agreed to turn in The Inside Man , at the sides of Denzel Washington and Clive Owen, under the direction of Spike Lee. This film tells the history of a cop (Denzel Washington) who at the head puts himself to stop a clever hold-up man of banks (Clive Owen), author of a new holdup with taking of hostages. The intervention of an ambitious negociator elected by the bank (Jodie Foster) on the same spot of the break-in will complicate the situation. Left on April 12th 2006, the film is a paperboard, and is the largest success to date of Spike Lee. New success also for Foster which always reaches the 100 million dollars.

has sharp

A return to the cinema under the sign of the thriller. Not satisfies to be with the poster of two suspense films ( Flight Plan and The Inside Man ) at the same time, Jodie Foster confirms its come-back with the urban thriller has sharp Neil Jordan, written by Cynthia Mort and produced by Joel Silver, large specialist in the cinema of action. Accustomed to this type of roles since the Silence of the lambs and Panic grass Room , the American actress interprets the victim of a violent aggression which tries to recover from this heavy traumatism. In its spirit little by little the idea of revenge germinates… The film, produced by the studios Warner Bros., left in September 2007 in France.

At the time of its exit, the reputation of Jodie Foster made its work on the boxoffice. Indeed, in spite of criticisms mitigated appeared in addition to the Atlantic, has sharp brought back 14 million dollars what is all the same a weak result for a film with Jodie Foster and it is there that criticisms have can be have their effect. The latter is indeed more than bankable usually. At the time of their exits Flight Plan had piled up 25 million, Panic Room , 30 million and The Inside Man , 29 million dollars. As example, the newspaper Baltimore Sun described this film like an account avenger pretentious and whimsical. But, like often with Jodie Foster, the spectators were as a majority of the spectators who, according to the microphone-pavements, found film excel…

With 36,566,302$ of receipts on the whole, the Warner, which also has just undergone a new failure, this time cooking, with Invasion , announced that it would not produce any more a film with a woman for heroin.

In France, after the result already rather soft of Flight plan (only 760.747 entries), the rather soft starting of has sharp proves that the name of Jodie Foster in tîte of poster does not attract any more crowd. The film of Neil Jordan has for the moment added up only 259.669 entries in three weeks.

Nim' S Island

In 2007, Jodie Foster turned in Australia Nim' S Island to the sides of the young person Abigail Breslin, under the direction of Jennifer Flackett and Mark Levin. The history is that of a little girl who accompanies her scientific father on an island isolated in the south from the Pacific. When this one is lost at sea, the little girl only finds herself. She then puts herself to communicate by email with somebody who she imagines to be a character of book but which is, actually, a recluse author. The exit of film is planned for on April 9th 2008.

Untitled Leni Riefenstahl Project

After seven years of preparation, Jodie Foster will be able to finally interpret the role of Leni Riefenstahl in a biopic entitled Untitled Leni Riefenstahl Project . The actress spoke about her role as if there were not " of another woman to the XXème century who was at the same time as much admired and as much calomniée" .

Of alive sound, Leni Riefenstahl had always refused that Jodie Foster the interpreter. Although she is greeted the immense talent of the actress, she had justified this refusal to yield to him the rights of her memories by her fear to find in the potential film of many inaccuracies on her life and her work.

However Untitled Leni Riefenstahl Project will be born well. The producers committed themselves not making of remark over the dark years of the scenario writer. Turning should begin before the end of the year 2007 for an exit envisaged in 2008.

Anecdotes

Sin City and has Sharp according to Jodie Foster

With Berlin, in 2007, at the time of the preview of the thriller Die Fremde in dir ( has Sharp in German), Jodie Foster was questioned on the fact that she had criticized Sin City : " Sin City one band-is drawn. And violence is supposed being something of funny, it is supposed being taken slightly. My nephew adores it. It is one of its preferred films. He, it is a large scenario writer. It is twenty-five years old. Many young people like kind of film. Cheer. I have of it anything against, but me I do not arrive at comprendre" . And when it is said to him that has Sharp is also a violent film, she answers: " It is the history of a character who becomes increasingly monstrous. She hates herself and it one band-is not drawn. Ca speaks about: how violence corrumpt that it touche" .

Panic grass Room rather than the Cannes festival

In 2001, Jodie Foster was to be the president of the 54ème Cannes festival. However, one proposed to him to replace Nicole Kidman in the thriller Panic Room what it accepted. The turning which proceeded until May which been able to make it possible Jodie Foster to go on the Small cross.

It was " death in the âme" , according to Gilles Jacob, president of the Festival, when which she announced her desistance. " The embarrassment and the regrets that it expressed are with the height of our disappointment, but each one will understand that for an actress, the exercise of her trade passes before tout" , it declared.

Jodie Foster had been declared charmed to chair the jury of this festival to which it must so much. Teenager, it had come to present Taxi Driver of Martin Scorsese, in 1976. The film had obtained the Palm of gold, and launched its career. " I hope of any heart that it only did not leave given and that I will be able, if the Festival makes me the honor of me the redemander, being one day - and this time for good - the president of a jury to which I owe tant" , it declared. The actress was replaced by Liv Ullmann.

Director

These films, more light that what it does in general, was successes. She had several other projects: Flora Plum , which did not lead because of budgetary problems, and now Sugarland with Robert de Niro, which it will put in scene after Nim' S Island .

Hannibal

In 2001, Jodie Foster was seen proposing to take again its role of Clarice Starling, in the continuation of the the Silence of the lambs , Hannibal .
