Picture Trivia
The attempted assassination of US Pres.
Ronald Reagan (1911-2004) by John Warnock Hinckley on March 30, 1981, was said
to be a case of erotomania, where Hinckley believe that Reagan’s death will
make Hollywood actress Jodie Foster publicly declare her love for him.
Hinckley’s erotomanic delusion was brought about by his repeated watching of
the film Taxi Driver (1976) in which the character Travis Bickle (played
by Robert de Niro) planned to assassinate the US president. Foster was in this
film portraying a child prostitute.
Foster won the Academy Award for Best
Actress in 1989, for her portrayal of a rape survivor in the film The
Accused. In 1991, she played the role of Clarice Starling, an FBI trainee
who helped captured the serial killer in The Silence of the Lambs. This
gave her international acclaim and the second Academy Award for Best Actress.
Aside from this, Foster is known as a
multi-lingual actress. She is fluent in French and does her own translation
into French of the Hollywood films she made. She also speaks German and
Italian.
In 1992, Foster played the role of an
unnamed prostitute with Lily Tomlin, Kathy Bates and Anne Lange in the film Shadows
and Fog. In that same year she established the production company, Egg
Pictures, in Los Angeles, which produced independent films until 2001.
