Few actors bring as much intensity or intelligence to the screen as Jodie Foster, a veteran who has spent nearly her entire life in front of the camera. Already a formidable screen presence at just twelve years old when she delivered her indelible breakthrough performance in TAXI DRIVER, she subsequently established herself as one of the most acclaimed performers of her generation, equally riveting in human dramas like NELL and genre blockbusters like PANIC ROOM, while making an assured transition to directing with films like LITTLE MAN TATE and THE BEAVER. At every step of the way, Foster has defied typecasting and redefined what a Hollywood career could look like, forging a body of work that is fiercely brainy, emotionally layered, and quietly radical in its refusal to play by anyone else’s rules.
