Jodie Foster filmography

Regarded as one of the greatest and most accomplished actors of her generation, Foster began her professional career as a child model at age three appearing in a Coppertone commercial.

Following notable appearances as Becky Thatcher in the musical film Tom Sawyer (1973), and in Martin Scorsese's Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore (1974), Foster rose to international prominence in 1976 at age 13 with four prominent releases: Taxi Driver, Bugsy Malone, Freaky Friday, and The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane, with the first of these earning Foster her first nomination for an Academy Award.

During this period, Foster also made numerous european films, including the French comedy-drama Moi, fleur bleue (1977), and the Italian comedy Casotto (1978).

During this period she made five movies including Claude Chabrol's television film Le sang des autres (1983), and Tony Richardson's comedy The Hotel New Hampshire (1984), however none of them were major successes and following her graduation, Foster struggled to find substantial work.
