An icon for equality in the film industry - Jodie Foster

She has always been a woman determined to be in control of her own image and career and is one of the most influential characters in cinema, both in front of and behind the cameras -

According to rumours, Jodie Foster may be involved in the production and star in a big-budget Irish film planned for 2024/2025.

The actor-director with English and Irish roots was encouraged by a mother obsessed with seeing her children succeed in movies, and she starred on the giant screen before even knowing how to read.

Now 60, her beginnings in the film industry were diverse, from starring as a Disney girl to later playing roles in blockbusters like Lolita, The Accused, Taxi Driver and Silence of the Lambs.

The hit documentary Hollywood in the Skin is a Portrait that shows the peculiarity of this actress, who avoided entering the circle of fame in the ruthless universe of Hollywood show business.

Jodie addressed her coming out in a speech after receiving the Cecil B. DeMille Award at the 70th Golden Globe Awards, and in April 2014, Foster married girlfriend actress Alexandra Hedison after dating for a year.
