I just watched “Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore.” Good flick. It has a surprise ending. Well, it did for me, anyway…
Me (midway through the movie): “Why does that little boy have a girl’s name? Doris or Audrey… they’re both girls names. Hm. Weird.”
Closing Credits: “Audrey…Jodie Foster”
:eek: :smack:
In all honesty, I thought she was a boy. She had a deeper voice than Tommy for god’s sake!
John Hinckley is gonna kick your ass.
That’s been a problem for Jodie Foster — her voice and Keanu Reeve’s sound alike.
It was the first I had ever seen Jodie Foster, and I also thought it was a boy until she put on a skirt.
There’s gotta be a joke here linking to her TV show from years ago, My Sister Hank, but for the life of me I can’t find it.
Jeez, you people! Ever heard of The Partridge Family? Or The Courtship of Eddie’s Father? Foster was in both of those, and I already knew that she was not just a girl, but a babe as well.
I had heard of them, but I wasn’t fool enough to watch them.
Fool? Fool?!? They had Jodie Foster!
I motion that we adults not refer to girls as babes until they’re of legal age.
No? How about just 'til they hit puberty? Any takers?
Yes, I saw Taxi Driver.
In two episodes. Not worth wading through the dreck for that.
Besides, if I didn’t watch Eddie’s father because of Miyoshi Umeki, why would seeing Foster make me want to watch?
Well, when I thought of Jodie as a “babe” before she was “legal” I was **10 years old. ** The way I see it, no harm, no foul.
I would hasten to add that she’s only 1 year, 2 weeks, and 5 days younger than me. And I watched these shows as they aired. So when she was a young babe of 6, I was a wordly stud of 7.
Pervert. You should have been lusting after girls your own age. Like Lillian Gish. 
If you mean My Sister Sam, the link is “crazed male stalkers” (MSS star Rebecca Schaeffer was stalked and killed by a fan).
I had a grown up Jodie sighting recently when I went to see the French movie A Very Long Engagement (or if you’re a purist, Un long dimanche de fiançailles). Halfway through the film Jodie appears in a supporting role, not only speaking French but speaking it with a Polish accent. Cool more-than-a-cameo.
I know! I caught that and LOVED it. I am really impressed with her body (of work) which was one of the reasons I felt like such an idiot when I not only failed to recognize her in “Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore” but mistook her for a boy on top of it. Can I add another :smack: ?
The Little Girl Who Lives Down The Lane has a truly amazing performance by the 14 year old Foster. It’s chilling.
I agree, it was truly phenomenal. I’ve been wary of anything “almond” flavored after that flick. 
Don’t forget ‘Freaky Friday’! That was sweet!
Dear God, going over her IMDB listing…she appeared as a presenter at the Academy Awards in 1972 at the age of 10!
