Jodie Foster

We're constantly seeking to break new grounds here at Babe Theory! I have often felt that Jodie Foster to be deserving of babe mentions but have seldom seen her appear on the radars of critics and men's magazines. With a new film coming soon for Jodie, I decided that it is no longer acceptable for her to remain in the shadows. It's time for other babe lovers out there to reach out, and make contact with Jodie Foster!

By the way, I simply adore her voice! That scratchy, everlasting adolescent-breaking sounding voice is simply adorable! But I've bored you so many times about voices that I will skip most of it and get on with the real story!

I could not imagine what my childhood would be if I had to grow up in Hollywood like Jodie. Born into celebrity, she was already the copptertone girl (the little girl whose underwear is being pulled off by a dog) by the age of 3! Her beauty is matched more impressively by her intelligence. Growing up, she was always considered to be "wise beyond her years". As a child actor, she was incredibly mature and professional; opening many doors for the young Jodie.

Who could resist a babe who graduated from a French language high school; as class valedictorian no less!! Oh la la! Jodie is also a Yale alumni, having graduated with an Honors degree in English literature. In the school of life, Jodie graduated from child star to teen starlet to adult superstar without much of the controversy that usually beseech child celebrities.

Most movie fans know Jodie from her very famous roles in The Accused, Taxi Driver, The Silence Of The Lambs, Contact and Anna & the King. Her most famous role is undoubtedly as Clarice Starling, Doctor Hannibal Lector's foil, in The Silence Of The Lambs; for which she would win her second Academy award (the first being in The Accused). Jodie did not want to be pigeon-holed as a certain type of actress. She consistently sought out a wide range of characters to fill out her talented space. She chose projects based on interest, story, characters rather than what will be a media sensation. For example, she refused to reprise her role in Hannibal, the sequeal to the Silence Of The Lambs, on the basis that she felt the character's role was compromised in the new scripts. Being an actress of artistic integrity means that whenever the name of Jodie Foster is attached to a project, people take notice! As do I.

Jodie's body of work is graciously recognized by her fans and critics. The first woman to ever win 2 Academy awards before the age of 30, leaves Jodie in a class by herself. Speaking of class, there is no better example of how to be level-headed in the tinseltown world of glamour and glitz than Miss Foster. Being a very private individual, she is seldom the subject of any scandals or paparazzi attention. Her appeal is purely motivated by her talent, works and her beauty.

Ever the consumate artist, Jodie was not content in being the vision of great movies, she wanted to be part of the creation of the vision. Jodie is in the rare distinctitive company of great actors who have made the successful leap to producer and director. Although her created works have not been in the spotlights, they none-the-less showcase the deep passion that Jodie has for her work. Too many celebrities now a days treat their vocation as simply a job. To make an analogy, I would dare compare Jodie Foster's career till present, and into the future, to be reminiscient of the great Clint Eastwood.

So let's see, beauty, brains, talented, artistic, classy and without any hollywood ego. I think you will finally agree with me that one of Hollywood's most powerful ladies is much overdue for a Babe award! (Hey, I think I just stumbled onto another idea!)
