Family of Jodie Foster, one of Hollywoods darlings

Jodie Foster received her first Oscar nomination when she was only 12 for her outstanding performance as a child prostitute in Taxi Driver (1976). The nomination was only the beginning of greater things to come as about a decade later, she won both a Golden Globe and an Academy Award for The Accused (1988).

Date of Birth: November 19, 1962

Zodiac Sign: Scorpio

She is the youngest of four children and had caught the acting bug since she was a toddler. Her first role on television was when she was part of a commercial for an iconic sun-lotion brand. Till date, Foster is still regarded as one of the very talented and serious-minded females in Hollywood.

After she was firmly established as one of the biggest stars in the industry, it was not a surprise when she decided to go into filmmaking. She says she is always so energized by directing as opposed to how exhausted she feels when she’s a cast in the movie.
