> [@Stink Fish Pot](#): > > General question on Jodie Foster - can someone explain the change in her breast size from her rather large and ample looking chest in **Panic Room** to the smallish chest she seemed to have in **The Brave One**? (Panic Room was on recently and my wife and I both wondered about this. Neither one of us could come up with an answer) Speaking of **Panic Room** , remember the [kid](http://cinegeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/panicroom.jpg) in that movie?

It turns out that kid was [Kristin Stewart.](http://yossarianspeaks.files.wordpress.com/2010/02/kristen-stewart2.jpg) She was famous as an adult for a while before I heard that she was that girl, and was able to recognize that.
