Description
Thirty-something Jodie Foster has gone from Coppertone model at age three to two-time Academy Award winner to acclaimed director in her own right. She commands more respect in the movie world than nearly anyone currently making films. Her establishment at the top of a vicious and unforgiving business at so young an age is especially impressive because she has done it without compromising her solidly held beliefs. While she is admired by many, the world knows virtually nothing about her or the events that shaped her character. - How has she attained this enviable balance of normalcy and influence, and how does she maintain her privacy? - What of her much discussed sexuality? - How has the obsessive behavior of John Hinkley affected her life? - What led Jodie to "drop out" of Hollywood, stunning her friends, to attend Yale University where she graduated with honors? These and other questions are answered through interviews with Jodie's friends, family, and those who have most influenced her.Jodie Foster: A Life on Screen paints a compelling portrait of the life and career of this enigmatic woman.
