Jodie Foster on "Nyad" and "True Detective: Night Country"

[@joemartino6976]

There are celebrities. And then there are actors. Its a tribute to Foster's talent and integrity that she has chosen the latter route. Jodie Foster is one of the best.

[@jwelch5742]

Jodie Foster holds the distinction of being the youngest two-time Oscar winner and one of only two people to win multiple Oscars before the age of 30. Foster is also the only openly LGBTQ woman to win two Academy Awards for acting, although she was not publicly out until after both wins.

She should receive the Kennedy center honors and the AFI life achievement award for her contributions to film and American culture. She influenced actresses like Natalie Portman, Hailee Steinfeld, Jennifer Lawrence, etc.

[@lisalivingston6473]

Jodie Foster is def one of the all time greats. The host nailed it when he said vulnerable intensity.

I’m 60 years old and Jodie has always been one those actresses that you are drawn to. I have always loved how strong she came across. Some of my favorite movies: Tom Sawyer, Napoleon & Samantha, Bugsy Malone, Freaky Friday, Taxi Driver, Maverick, Silence of the Lambs, Panic Room, Elysium, The Accused, Little man Tate and Contact. She is excellent in everything she does. I have always admired this amazing woman and will do so until the end. ❤

I really liked this interview. She seems to have gotten to a place in her life where she is comfortable in her own skin. As she said, you tend to relax as you get older and you realize what is important. And I really like that she hasn't had cosmetic surgery. The smile lines on her face are a testament to her commitment to just being herself. She is just damn smart and talented.

Next to M. Streep, she is the most complete actress of the last 40 years. She needs the Kennedy Center Honors, yesterday...... I'm from Germany and I'm a fan since I starting thinking. Every role she played, she made it outstanding plus her role as producer or director. No film with her get negativ critics or anything like this. And to reminde, 40 years ago the world wasn't so open as today in case of loving same sex. As an actress she would be on a black list regarding intresting projects and companies are afraid of losing potential cinema audiences and turnover.

I've always loved Jodie Foster, in her young roles, before achieving stardom, later on, in her life. She did manage to make a lot of big plays, with her roles, in The Courtship of Eddie's Father, Taxi Driver, Freaky Friday '76, Foxes, The Silence of the Lambs, Nell, Nim's Island, and a few other movies, later. I even loved how she was the first ever youngest person, to host Saturday Night Live, and hold that position, for 6 1/2 years, before Drew Barrymore at age 7, did so, too (and at that young, my goodness!). Jodie Foster, definetly makes history, by how she's living, and how she's still managing to find work, in starring in this new series, as a detective, like TSOTL. Good on ya, Jodie!

[@jamesfreeman2258]

I saw Accused and then saw her win the Oscar for it. Whether it was then or for her first one she said that kindness is so important in her speech. Now think of how many Hollywood actresses or actors say that for their acceptance speech. I'd never heard anyone say thst in their speech winning a Oscar.. respect her because when i saw her performance in Silence of the Lambs I knew it was in the top echlon of acting. I believed who she was on screen, and her character was like Ripley in Aliens, one of the few women heros in movies. I think most like and respect her cause she is not willing to let the public in her private life. It must be a little like Hannibal said in Silence about her...the world needs you( Clarice).

Jodie Foster is under appreciated as an actress. However I think in some ways, it’s because of herself. Being an introverted actress doesn’t seem to fit that type of career. She beat the odds in so many categories. Most childhood actors end up being total messes late in life for whatever reasons. Jodie has been able to navigate through that. Her longevity is certainly a testament to her acting ability. Much respect for her as a person and glad to see she continues on. Great Lady!
