  • Summary

  • Question 1:
    While many child actors struggle to transition to adult roles, Jodie Foster successfully made the leap after her Oscar-nominated performance in "Taxi Driver" - what unique controversy arose when Disney tried to block her from taking that role, and how did her mother resolve it?
    Question 2:
    During Foster's freshman year at Yale, what unprecedented security measures did the university implement to protect her, and how did this experience influence her character choices in the films that followed?
    Question 3:
    When directing her first feature film "Little Man Tate" in 1991, what personal childhood experience did Foster draw from, and which famous child actor did she initially refuse to cast because she felt he was "too well-adjusted"?
    Question 4:
    What unexpected skill did Foster develop for her role in "Nell" that was so convincing, three universities offered her honorary linguistics degrees, and how does she still use this ability in her current directing work?
    Question 5:
    In 2016, Foster became the first person to achieve what unique Academy Award milestone involving both acting and directing nominations, and which previous nominee personally presented her with the honor?
