She should receive the Kennedy center honors and AFI Life Achievement Award for her contributions to American film for decades both on and off camera. She influenced Hailee Steinfeld, Natalie Portman, Jennifer Lawrence, etc. She’s long overdue for both of them

[@siddharthnaagar7028]

Absolutely

[@Marujita71]

I agree Jodie Foster is an absolute delight on the screen

[@jakebe4915]

An American Treasure....indeed. go Jodie...

[@RossiSenn]

Long overdue.

[@MAPMinorAttractedPurge]

An award for acting. 😂 these people are not important and America dont need hollywood.

[@mrp8811]

your money is not wasted when you watch her work.

[@carolbenson6524]

One of the greatest actors of our time! Six decades acting.😮

[@lashendawest7509]

We love jodie foster

[@3220sunshine]

Nell...she was FANTASTIC...OUT OF THIS WORLD PERFORMANCE. Jodie Foster a living LEGEND.

[@leannesmith5818]

She is fantastic in everything she does and looks fantastic at 61

[@DRaymore44]

I remember Jodie in Disney's "Freaky Friday" as a kid in the 70s. I always enjoy her movies, and she is a lovely lady.

[@TH-tl6sy]

My favorite Disney Movie of Hers was Candleshoe

[@batgurrl]

Jodie Foster Is both a national treasure and a living legend. Her body of work goes back many decades, as a child star. Even before Taxi Driver, including the 1960s original Freaky Friday. Her body is impressive, including directing

[@thelaurels13]

I’ve been a Jodi Foster fan girl since I was a teenager and I’m now 45 and still a fan girl. She’s an incredible actor and when she’s in movies you just know it’s going to be great. ❤

[@missdee4927]

Same except I'm in my 30s. My mother grew up with her because they are about the same age and I grew up watching her in the 90s with my household.

[@Lijaskurzeme]

I fell in love with Contact, it will always remain as my favourite movie :D Thank you Jodie! Also for Nell. You are truly one of a kind, iconic. Thank you also for your humility.

[@freemagicfun]

She has done so much - but Contact is my favorite. That was so great. 😎

[@MarCapa-ed5uv]

Her performance on Contact was very powerful to me, it touched me in a personal way for different reasons but, her, she did a wonderful job. “The brave one” was perfect for her too.

[@1Kaileegirl]

Jodie is an extraordinary actress, director, film maker and human being One classy woman

[@MarCapa-ed5uv]

I agree

[@kayecastleman6353]

Jodie seems so gentle and unassuming for such a powerhouse. L.O.V.E.D. her in Nyad. Unbelievable that she has created so many iconic roles, and still keeps churning them out. Go, girl!

[@jpp7783]

she is dedicated to her craft, meaningful scripts, strong characters, not Hollywood glam and boob jobs. There’s too little of that in this instagram-kardashian era.

[@jakebe4915]

She is an artistic, classical actress. Most out there today can't begin to match her talents...

[@JasonLove-ko6lu]

I liked FlightPlan.

[@TBMODB]

What a great talent Jodie Foster is!

[@MatthewsFav]

Jodie Foster aced every single movie she was in. Not only is she a fantastic actress she is also extremelysmart.

[@andriedemetriou3113]

Yes, the ACCUSE was a great film! Jodie she’s a LEGEND.

[@truespirit730]

Man, that court room scene in the Accused when Jodie has to say "No" over and over with each "No" having a different meaning. Wow. Such an amazing scene still

[@MrBibi86]

*My personal favorite Jodie Foster movies are Panic Room and Flight Plan. love a good Jodie Foster Thriller*

[@cynthiahummel8494]

❤ such a great movie!!

[@iadiramorales68]

I’ve been seeing her since she was a child ❤ I’m so glad to see her back again!! ❤

[@l7665]

Jodie had an amazing career and she looks so natural and human not the type of Hollywood star. That makes her even more amazing. What an actress and a director!

[@armibidsted6102]

Jodie Foster looks amazing- she is a treasure, such a talented actress❤️❤️🥰

[@mz8583]

The silence of the lambs is arguably the best film of all time, thanks to perfect casting and incredibly well written script.

[@tonitalas1757]

And Jodie Foster and Anthony Hopkins!

[@thenewctc]

Love Jodie, cant believe in 27 yrs shes never been on the show 😱💕⭐

[@TombCat]

Barbara Walters was a vile woman. She would have went on and on about Jodie's sexuality and her private life. Jodie is a prestige act, all the way. Nothing phony about her. She's reserved AND quite witty. But a dignified woman. The View is a very canned show that is still often degrading and not much fun for big celebrities. It plays to the older audience. It's gotten a bit better and the ratings are good. Jodie knows that Barbara is DEAD and Meghan is gone - so she held her nose and did The View. Jodie's name is in the game for another Oscar! She seemed to have fun with Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel. ♥

[@Mike-wf1nm]

Jodie's great! But why is this show still on?

[@missdee4927]

Because they would have made things uncomfortable prying into her life.

[@meghan42]

Loved this movie! Nyad.

[@RobinaB530]

Such a brilliant woman and actor. I admire her a lot. She's made some great films.

[@laurelgrasset8639]

Love how also she just loved her life!! No drama etc super kudos to that!!!

[@vargasfamily282]

I remember seeing Jodie Foster as a kid on The Courtship of Eddie’s Father. She’s always been a good actress.

[@theodoresweger4948]

Loved Contact and of course read the book.... Made me aware of the way female scientists were treated.

[@samsong24]

Jodie Foster is a brilliant person. Her speech at the 2013 Golden Globes is probably my favourite awards speech of all time; Her shoutout to her dementia-ridden mother is one of the most heartwrenching things I have ever witnessed. I so hope she is nominated for an Oscar for Nyad, because she was at the top of her game with that performance.

[@cootriley6]

She's still so Pretty!

[@50hellkat2]

Nyad....is soooo good. Jodie and Annette....so impressive. But Jodie knows how to pick them.

[@robertbeining141]

Jodie Foster is Such A Class Act. Not really an act, so genuine, intelligent and well regarded. She has been my fave actor since I was a kid and saw her on the big screen in Bugsy Malone!

[@WolfKinder3]

I remember the Courtship of Eddies Father episode. I think Bill Bixby looks like he could be related to Robert Downey Jr. Brandon Cruz who played Eddie has a still active fund raiser to get Bill a star on the Hollywood walk of Fame. Bill Bixby directed a lot of Blossom episodes right before he died.

[@ChanceCard9]

She really picked some winners film wise. Growing up I remember her best in Bugsy Malone

[@antoniodre982]

Nice segment

[@frankg7574]

She’s such an amazing talent

[@user-wu2gi1qq2i]

[@SteMcgarry-xy5gb]

I love her, always did from Tallulah in Bugsby to Nyah. I think she's a beautiful person and very intelligent xx

[@Justice55339h]

I'm watching Nyad now, I'm loving it❤ Jodie has always been great. I cannot STAND The View, but congragulations you got me to watch one of your interviews lol

[@mlkj13]

Jodie Foster was remarkable in The Accused.

[@Springbok314]

Humility, grace, and true talent. I have always admired and respected Jodie Foster. A class act in an otherwise messy business.

[@juliansmith4987]

“Yknow we still remember you in Taxi Driver. “ “‘Kay”

[@kjam4236]

A Film Legend.....

[@debbyhass4586]

Courtship of Eddie’s father, even know we are of the same age. It was like yesterday, seeing that clip. The bully you played justified me being a bully mostly to the babysitters, because mom was not living in our home either. That was the last time I seen you being a bully in movies and I also outgrew it, as a kid felt like I was growing up with you. You were, and still are a great inspiration.

[@brendaraymond8657]

I loved Jody Foster in the Courtship of Eddie's Father and have watched her in everything I could ever since.

[@jonnydubz8895]

I loved her in CONTACT

[@carolynbarr770]

One of my favorites, Ms Foster still doing the dang thang!!

[@BottleConcreteBlond]

She is so good in this movie!

[@biancashingles8225]

She is an AAAAMAZING actress ❤❤❤❤❤

[@jclark21218]

my personal favorite has always been Little Man Tate. With Panic Room close behind. There's truly something to be said about Jodie Foster and her choices that have led to such a rich catalogue of work. So many favorites, so much depth and range.

[@kallen868]

She was a hoot in Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore trying to get her classmate to skip school and drink "Ripple".

[@jazminratzlaff5357]

Love Jodie Foster in Nyad, adore what she’s wearing. One of my fave actresses. She looks so stunningly beautiful, her laugh is so bubbly and cute. 👑💎🏆⚜️😍😘🥰🤩🌟✨📺

What a great lady.

[@sisterluke]

That last question was a little awkward, I don't think she'd be excited to watch The Accused with her sons with a bowl of popcorn considering that last part of that movie.

[@kasandrajames1860]

My first memory of her was in bugsy malone.

[@shookdrm.d.9389]

she is the best.........

[@user-sv7fd6es6s]

I love Jodie Foster so much! I also love her dress. I remember her in Freaky Friday, and I want to see that other show she was in where she was a bully.

[@patriciafeuti1370]

Nobody ever talks about the little girl who lives down the lane. She was good in that too

[@erikandrus4387]

I love "Nell", I think it's sweet.

[@sinisterintelligence3568]

1997's "Contact" is my favorite JF movie. Mostly because it showed a STEM woman in her field and how she used her job to process the grief of losing her father.

[@jimm2434]

Jodie is a phenomenal actress. I fell in love with her in so many movies including Freaky Friday, The Courtship of Eddie’s Father, Contact & so many other’s. I too am surprised by how down to earth she is but I’m finding out that more & more actor’s are. What amazes me is that she’s not aging either. I believe she’s even the same weight too. I wish she would have been on longer.

To clarify for the repliers; Tatum and her dad Ryan O'Neal were in the movie, Jodie Foster and Christopher Connelly were in the one season TV show based on the movie.

When I saw Jody Foster was in the lead for the show True Detective, I had high hopes. I just don’t want to be disappointed… Again.

Who cares if you're disappointed! Millions of Americans will enjoy it! Jody chooses her projects, not the other way around!

[@steveojio67]

1. fire joys makeup `artist` 2. i LOVE jodie foster, i honestly do but nyad is an annette bening- movie, not a jodie movie. annette did the lead-acting. jodie was `only ` a very good supporter 3. its very funny to me how the `view` women talk about aging when everybody except of joy, look like tugged, pulled, filled, lifted, bleached drones. now dont get me wrong, to each their own, if you wanna look fake from head to toe, do it..its just funny to talk about aging and how wonderful you feel with each year when you`re obviously trying to fight every single second of aging. just look at jodie..such grace, dignity and beauty..and then sitting next to her, some aging women desperately trying to look like they`re in their 20`s. imagine them undressing at home. i bet jodie looks pretty much the same as she does in this clip..but the other women? baked face gone, fake hair gone, fake lashes gone, wearing their tooth bleach thingies so the teeth look more unnatural neon white, those upper earrings are gone that nowadays youth is wearing..fake fake fake ...just full-on drag. i bet they look totally different when dressed down. pretty clown-ish to me. but again, to each their own..i dont understand why women walk around like drag queens nowadays...just interesting to see the direct contrast
