茱迪·科士打（Jodie Foster，又译茱蒂·福斯特，1962年11月19日-）是一個兩度榮獲奥斯卡金像奖最佳女主角頭銜的美國女演員。 Jodie Foster (born November 19 1962) is a two-time Academy Award-winning American actress, director, and producer.

[编辑] Early life

Foster was born as Alicia Christian Foster to Lucius Foster and Brandy Almond in Los Angeles, California. She attended an exclusive prep school, the Lycée Français de Los Angeles, before going to Yale University where she earned a B.A. in literature and graduated magna cum laude in 1985. While at Yale, Foster, like fellow 1985 Yale graduate Jennifer Beals of Flashdance fame, led a fairly normal life, considering her celebrity status. She would often spend time with friends at the local dive bar Anchor, and she occasionally partied in the haunts of one of the secret societies, the Manuscript Society (a scene recounting such an event is noted in Tom Perrotta's novel Joe College).

[编辑] Early career

She made nearly 50 film and television appearances before she attended college. She began her career at age three as the Coppertone Girl in a television commercial and debuted as a television actress in a 1968 episode of Mayberry R.F.D. Her first film appearance came in the 1970 TV movie Menace On The Mountain. Foster made a number of Disney movies, including Napoleon and Samantha (1972), One Little Indian (1973), Freaky Friday (1976) and Candleshoe (1977). She also co-starred with Christopher Connelly in the 1974 TV series version of Paper Moon and alongside Martin Sheen in the 1976 cult classic The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane. As a teenager, Foster made several appearances on the French pop circuit as a singer. Commenting on her years as a child actress, which she describes as an "actor’s career", Foster has said that "it was very clear to me at a young age that I had to fight for my life and that if I didn’t, my life would get gobbled up and taken away from me".^[1]

At age 14, Foster was nominated for the Academy Award For Best Supporting Actress for her role as a pre-teen prostitute in Martin Scorsese's film, Taxi Driver opposite Robert De Niro. De Niro's character, the deranged Travis Bickle, intends to "save" her from life on the streets. When that doesn't work, he tries to assassinate a presidential candidate.

In 1981, John Hinckley, Jr. shot U.S. President Ronald Reagan and three other people. He claimed his motive was to impress Foster. He had become obsessed with her after seeing the film repeatedly, and he stalked her while she attended Yale, sending her love letters to her campus mail box and even talking to her on the phone. This caused intense discomfort to Foster, who has been known to walk out of interviews if Hinckley's name is even mentioned. The punk band Jodie Foster's Army is named in reference to Hinckley's actions.

[编辑] Transition to adult roles

Unlike child stars such as Shirley Temple or Tatum O'Neal, Foster successfully made the transition to adult roles, but not without initial difficulty. She gained significant weight while at Yale and, after several unsuccessful films post-Taxi Driver, was forced to audition for her role in The Accused. She won the part and the first of her two Golden Globes and Academy Awards as Best Actress for her role as a gang-rape survivor. She earned her second in what is arguably her most famous role, Clarice Starling, opposite Anthony Hopkins as Hannibal Lecter, in the 1991 film, The Silence of the Lambs.

In 1997 she starred alongside Matthew Mcconaughey in the sci-fi movie Contact, based on the novel by scientist Carl Sagan. She portrayed a scientist searching for extra-terrestrial life in the SETI project. In 1998, an asteroid, 17744 Jodiefoster, was named in her honor.

[编辑] Branching out

In the 1990s Foster began to branch out into other aspects of film besides acting. She made her directorial debut in 1991 with Little Man Tate, a critically acclaimed^[2] drama about a child prodigy, in which she also co-starred. She also directed Home For The Holidays (1995), a black comedy starring Holly Hunter and Robert Downey Jr.. In 1992, Foster founded a production company called Egg Pictures in Los Angeles, and she began working as a producer in 1994 with the acclaimed Nell, the story of young woman raised in an isolated place who has to return to civilization.

Like many American actors who are rarely seen promoting products in their own country, Foster has appeared in a number of commercials in Japan, mostly in the 1990s. These have included advertisements for the Honda Civic, Keri cosmetics, Mt. Rainier ice coffee, and the Pasona Temporary Agency.

[编辑] Recent roles

After taking time away from the spotlight, Foster returned in the 2005 blockbuster Flightplan. Foster portrayed a woman whose daughter disappears on an airplane that Foster's character, an engineer, had helped to design.

Foster's most recent film, Inside Man, a thriller co-starring Denzel Washington and Clive Owen, was released on March 24, 2006, and opened at #1 at the box office. Her next film will be The Brave One, a thriller that is being filmed in New York City, both in Manhattan and Brooklyn. It is directed by Neil Jordan and co-stars Terrence Howard. Commenting on her latest roles, Foster has said that she enjoys appearing in mainstream genre films that have a "real heart to them".^[3]

[编辑] Personal life and recognition

Foster is intensely private about certain aspects of her personal life. But one article reports that she has two sons, Charles (b. 1998) and Kit (b. 29 September 2001), both of whom were conceived by artificial insemination through the same sperm bank donor [2], a supposedly handsome Ph.D. with an IQ of 160.

She gave the Class of 2006 University of Pennsylvania commencement address on May 15, 2006, the university's 250^th Commencement. The university also conferred on her the Doctor of Arts (honoris causa) degree for her lifelong achievement and contribution to film in both acting and directing[3][4]. Her commencement address is available in webcast (jump to 1:44:08) and mp3 format.
