Jodie Foster -- phenom.

[YellowTail]

I can't think of any other actress who has gotten prettier as she's gotten older. When she was young, like in Taxi Driver, she looked like a tomboy. But I just saw her on Leno and she looks fantastic!

thumpety thumpety thump

I think I'm in love. [/blush]

[Revtim]

Oh yeah. I think I'm about the same age as her, and when I was a kid and she was a child actress for some reason I disliked her a lot.

But man, she grew up beautiful. I see her now and think, "yeah, I'd pop a cap in Reagan for her!" (Just kidding, just kidding. Of course, he'd be easier to hit nowadays, just stand over the grave...)

Talent, brains and beauty personified. She also has a lot of couth, keeping her personal life private and surviving that whole Hinkley/Reagen mess intact.

I agree with you on all these counts. She also has the one thing that very few people have and that is "grace."
I think she's beautiful, a wonderful actress and director and have more respect for her than any other "celebrity" because she doesn't live the life of a celebrity.


*and hell yes, I'm going to go see Flight Plan this weekend. I read the script a year and a half ago and have been pining for it to come out.

[The Big Cheese]

She's a year younger than me, so when I see her in a movie, I always know how old I was when it as made. My first movie I saw was hers too (I think)...Samantha and Napolean...about a lion they raised or something like that. I've admired her since way back, seems very classy.

[NoCoolUserName]

I think I'm in love.I hope you're female. :)

From imdb bio Trivia list...

Enjoys kickboxing, yoga, karate, aerobics, and weightlifting
Majored in literature at Yale; graduated magna cum laude in 1985
Measurements: 34B-24-33 1/2

I don't think I could keep up even if she were interested in me.

[JThunder]

Yep. She's phenomenal.

Do doo do doo do.

[tnetennba]

I've had a crush on her since I was like 10 years old. She's terrific.

[Baldwin]

Just saw Flightplan; I recommend it. Always liked Jodie Foster. She'll still look in 20 years, too; good bone structure.

[OtakuLoki]

Who cares what she looks like? Her voice is pure honey.... <drooling>

[Dr. Rieux]

Good News! The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0074806/combined) is coming to DVD on October 4th.
If you've never seen it, you've gotta see it.

[YellowTail]

Netflix doesn't appear to have Little Girl Who Lived Down the Lane. :confused:

No, NoCoolUserName, I am not female. Still I have no illusions that she'd have the slightest interest in me.

[JKellyMap]

Confession! My first erection (that I can recall) was on seeing Jodie in Tom Sawyer . I think I was about nine, and she about twelve.

Flight Plan is quite good.

[What Exit?]

I thought see looked her absolute best in Maverick (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0110478/).
She was absolutely radiant.

[wonderlust]

She's amazing. Her intelligence, focus, and grace just shine through. While I'm definitely hetero, I can imagine falling for her.

I've read disappointing reviews of Flightplan though. Did anyone love it?

I'll second that.

Did not *love* Flightplan, but liked it quite a bit.
Have always enjoyed Foster's work and respected her as a person.
I agree that she is aging gracefully and beautifully.
