Turner Classic Movies (TCM)<\/b>\u00a0today announced it will honor iconic actress and filmmaker\u00a0Jodie Foster<\/b>\u00a0with a hand and footprint ceremony at the world-famous\u00a0TCL Chinese Theatre IMAX\u00ae\u00a0<\/b>in Hollywood during the\u00a015th<\/sup>\u00a0annual TCM Classic Film Festival\u00a0<\/b>on\u00a0Friday, April 19.\u00a0The Silence of the Lambs\u00a0<\/i>(1991),\u00a0<\/b>for which Foster earned an Academy Award\u00ae and BAFTA Award for Best Actress, will also play during the Festival with a special introduction by Foster.<\/p>\n “The truth is Jodie Foster deserves a hand and footprint ceremony solely for her work in 1976 alone \u2013 films she made when she was 13 years old \u2013 Taxi Driver, Bugsy Malone, Freaky Friday,\u00a0<\/i>and\u00a0The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane<\/i>. You could see her range already,\u201d said\u00a0Ben Mankiewicz, TCM Primetime Anchor and Official Host of the TCM Classic Film Festival. \u201c<\/b>Nearly 50 years later, we have an answer to this question: \u2018What is a Jodie Foster character?\u2019\u00a0The answer is: There is nothing she can\u2019t play. If you want evidence of that, just look at the two movies she\u2019s won Oscars for \u2013 a rigid, but dogged FBI agent in\u00a0The Silence of the Lambs<\/i>\u00a0and a self-assured free spirit who summons the strength to seek justice in\u00a0The Accused<\/i>.\u00a0To make it even more impressive, she\u2019s also an accomplished filmmaker, directing for television and film, including a movie I watch every Thanksgiving \u2013\u00a0Home for the Holidays<\/i> from 1995.\u201d<\/p>\n
