Actress, director, and producer. Born Alicia Christian Foster, on November 19, 1962, in Los Angeles, California. Foster's father, Lucian, left the family before she was born; her mother, Evelyn, supported herself and her four children by working for a film producer. Advertising executives for Coppertone suntan lotion "discovered" Foster when she tagged along with her older brother Buddy, a child actor, to one of his auditions. At age three, she became the tow-headed, bare-bottomed "Coppertone girl" in a now-famous ad campaign. By age eight, Foster had expanded her acting repertoire to include nearly forty commercials, as well as appearances on television shows such as The Courtship of Eddie's Father, Bonanza, and The Partridge Family. By the time she was ten years old, her acting jobs were supporting the entire Foster family. Her feature film debut came in 1972 with the Disney film Napoleon and Samantha. In the next five years, she appeared in no fewer than eleven more films, bringing to each role a precocious intelligence that impressed both critics and filmmakers.
In 1976, Foster made what she has referred to as the film that changed her life--the dark, violent Taxi Driver, directed by Martin Scorsese. Foster played Iris, a twelve year-old prostitute befriended by the dangerously unbalanced taxi driver Travis Bickle, played by Robert DeNiro. The role was entirely different from any the fourteen-year-old actress had ever played before. "It was the first time anyone asked me to create a character that wasn't myself," Foster told The New York Times Magazine in 1991. "It was the first time I realized that acting wasn't this hobby you just sort of did, but that there was actually some craft." Her performance won her an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress.
Unlike many young actors, Foster, who learned to read at age three, chose not to sacrifice her education to her growing film career. After graduating in 1980 from Los Angeles Lycee Francais (where she delivered the valedictory address in perfect French), she enrolled at Yale University. In March 1981, however, Foster was dragged unwillingly into the international spotlight when John Hinckley, Jr. attempted to assassinate President Ronald Reagan, stating as his primary motive the desire to impress the nineteen-year-old actress and Yale freshman. Foster was so affected by Hinckley's actions and the subsequent media frenzy that she published an article in Esquire plaintively entitled "Why Me?" and refused to speak publicly about the incident any further.
Foster graduated magna cum laude from Yale in 1985 with a B.A. in Literature. She made a number of films during and in the few years after college, but none attracted as much attention or won her as much acclaim as Taxi Driver. In 1988, however, Foster finally gained respect as an adult actress--along with an Academy Award--for her portrayal of Sarah Tobias, the working-class victim of a brutal gang rape in The Accused. Her next great performance came three years later in the haunting thriller, The Silence of the Lambs. With darkened hair and a West Virginia twang, Foster played fledgling FBI agent Clarice Starling opposite the mesmerizing Anthony Hopkins as psychologist-cum-serial-killer Hannibal Lecter. At the 1991 Academy Awards, the film won Best Picture, Best Director (Jonathan Demme), Best Actor and Best Actress.
At age twenty-nine, with two Best Actress Oscars and nearly thirty film roles under her belt, Foster had already turned her attention to other aspects of the movie business. Her directorial debut came in 1991 with Little Man Tate, a moderately well-received film about a child prodigy and his protective single mother (played by Foster). In 1992, Polygram Filmed Entertaiment committed to finance three films for Foster's production company, Egg Pictures. Foster produced and starred in the first of those films, 1994's Nell; her performance as a woman who lives in the woods and speaks in her own invented language earned her a fourth Oscar nomination.
Over the past several years, Foster directed her second film, 1995's comedy Home for the Holidays and delivered a Golden Globe-nominated performance as an astronomer looking for extraterrestrial life in 1997's Contact. Egg Pictures has several pictures in development, all of which Foster has the option to produce, direct, and/or star in. In late 1999, Foster starred in Anna and the King, a remake of the classic story of widowed schoolteacher Anna Leonowens and the King of Siam made famous in the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical The King and I, to mixed reviews. Though she turned down the opportunity to reteam with Hopkins in Hannibal, the much-awaited sequel to The Silence of the Lambs, she stepped in for Nicole Kidman in the recent thriller Panic Room (2002). After a two-year delay, she is set to direct and produce Disney's Flora Plum, the story of a Depression-era circus freak who takes pity on a penniless waif. The film stars Ewan McGregor and Claire Danes.
With her unconventional beauty and fierce intelligence, Foster has emerged as one of America's most well-respected actors and filmmakers. She reportedly received $15 million for Anna and the King, making her one of only a few actresses to command such an amount.
Foster is known as a fiercely private woman who refuses to reveal too much about her personal life. She has two sons: Charles, born in 1998, and Kit, born in September 2001, and will not identify the father of either child.

# Born in Los Angeles, Calif., on Nov. 19, 1962 Attended Lycee Francais in Los Angeles, Calif., in 1980. Graduated as class valedictorian. Attended Yale University in New Haven, Conn. Majored in literature and graduated magna cum laude in 1985. Her mother Brandy managed her through age 20.
# Foster began in commercials, most notably baring her buns at age three in a classic ad for Coppertone sun tanning products. She appeared as a regular and in guest shots in series TV and made several features for Disney.
#In 1976, she left an indelible impression with her controversial performance in "Taxi Driver" as the teenage prostitute who inspires Robert De Niro's deranged personal crusade. Foster followed that Oscar-nominated performance with appearances in several features including the gangster musical spoof "Bugsy Malone" playing Miss Tallulah, a bawdy speakeasy queen. The following year, she took the title role of a young murderer in "The Little Girl Who Lived Down the Lane."
# In 1980, she took the role of a teen runaway who joins up with a couple of carnival hustlers in "Carny." In 1981, she survived a spate of unwanted publicity surrounding John Hinckley Jr.'s assassination attempt on President Reagan, which he claimed was done to impress Foster.
# In 1984, while studying at Yale, she squeezed in appearances in films and TV, most notably as a member of an unconventional family in the film "The Hotel New Hampshire."
# In 1987, she worked in "Five Corners." In 1988 and 1991, she consolidated her reputation with Oscar-winning portrayals of a rape victim in "The Accused," and a rookie FBI agent in Jonathan Demme's psychological thriller, "The Silence of the Lambs" respectively.
# Also in 1991, she had her directorial debut with "Little Man Tate." Foster chose a subject close to home, a child prodigy who is caught in a tug-of-war between his working-class mother (played by Foster) and his teacher (Dianne Wiest).
# In 1992, Foster formed a three-year production deal with Polygram Filmed Entertainment, in which they were committed to financing three films (under her Egg Pictures banner) in the $25 million range and three in the $10 million to $15 million, plus an extra $10 million in print and promotion. One proviso was that Foster could choose whether to act in, direct or simply produce these films, gaining rare control and flexibility for an actor and a woman in Hollywood.
# The same year, she worked as a prostitute in Woody Allen's "Shadows and Fog," and played opposite Richard Gere in the costume drama, "Sommersby."
# In 1994, her screen leading man was Mel Gibson in the Western spoof "Maverick." Also in this year she had her first Egg Pictures effort, "Nell," in which she portrays a backwoods hermit who speaks in an invented tongue. Once again, Foster walked away with an Oscar nomination for Best Actress.
# In 1995, Foster made her second directorial effort (in which she did not appear) in the ensemble comedy "Home for the Holidays," about a recently fired woman who returns to her childhood home to celebrate Thanksgiving with her eccentric family. The film received mixed critical reviews, but Foster's sure handling of the actors (including Holly Hunter, Anne Bancroft and Robert Downey Jr.) was cited.
# In 1997, she returned to acting to tackle the role of a scientist who receives signals that may be from space aliens in "Contact."
# In 1999, she starred in the title role in "Anna and the King" for 20th Century Fox, with director Andy Tenant.
# In 2002, Foster produced and co-starred as a one-legged nun in "The Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys" which premiered at the 2002 Sundance Film Festival. She also starred in David Fincher's box-office hit, "Panic Room."
