Jodie Foster emerged as a child prodigy. At just three-years-old, she was noticed by casting agents at an audition her brother attended and ended up being cast in multiple commercials.
She went on to appear in several Disney productions and later, Tom Sawyer in 1973, Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore in 1974, and the controversial Taxi Driver in 1976. Robert De Niro noticed her potential on set, giving her advice to become famous in Hollywood and the show business.

Many years after setting up her own production company, Egg Pictures, Foster had to shut it down. She spoke about how it just wasn’t working out for her and was a “bad job.” Foster replaced Nicole Kidman in Panic Room, which quickly became one of her most successful roles, alongside Silence of the Lambs in 1991.
She has since taken on a more active role in directing, however. She earned a Primetime Emmy Award nomination for directing an episode of Orange Is the New Black and two Directors Guild of America Award nominations for two other directing projects.
