Intense, talented young woman whose determination and artistic daring have made her one of the top actresses in Hollywood. Foster's career began early; as a child model and performer, she was managed by her mother-who, among other accomplishments, got young Jodie a modeling job as one of the bare-bottomed tykes in the Coppertone ads. Her first film was Napoleon and Samantha (1972), a Disney outing that cast her as a runaway. By the time she was a teenager, Foster already had several Hollywood pictures to her credit, including One Little Indian (1973), Tom Sawyer (1973), Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1975), and Echoes of a Summer (1976), in addition to three interesting films: an early Martin Scorsese picture, Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore (1974), playing a tough tomboy; Bugsy Malone (1976), a gangster spoof cast entirely with children, in which she plays a tough dame who's pelted with whipped cream "bullets" in the finale; and Freaky Friday (1977), an amusing Disney comedy in which she switched identities with onscreen mom Barbara Harris. (She also costarred with Helen Hayes and David Niven in another 1977 Disney comedy, Candleshoe) Scorsese, impressed with Foster, cast her as a teenaged prostitute opposite Robert De Niro in Taxi Driver (1976). Foster's startling performance in that film brought her more attention than she ever could have imagined. In addition to earning an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress, her portrayal made Foster the object of obsessive fixation for one John Hinckley, who attempted to assassinate President Reagan on her behalf. By then, Foster had enrolled at Yale University, where she studied literature (and not acting: Foster is an instinctual actress and has never received formal theatrical training). During school vacations, she managed to appear in several features, including Carny (1980), Foxes (1980), and The Hotel New Hampshire (1984), before graduating in 1985.
