Jodie Foster Is One Tough Mama

Posted by Sassy Smith

 

 

Jodie Foster doesn't plan on giving her kid a break when it comes to showbiz.  Why?  Apparently the only reason he wants to get into acting is for the fame.  Becareful what you wish for!

Foster's oldest son Charles had asked her if she would help him snag an onscreen role but the tough mom said that he had to go through the proper channels and also attend theatre school.

Jodie said:  "The older one asks me at times if he can appear in a film or on television. I warn him that I'm not going to find him work. He can do theatre after school, if he wants.

"Obviously, he's completely uninterested in theatre. What he wants is to appear on TV. I don't believe that he really wants to be an actor."

I can't say that I blame her - fame isn't all that it's cracked up to be, just ask Britney.

Jodie Foster is only a few years older than I. I have grown up watching her grow up. From the time she was a tomboy kid to a sophisticated women, I have admired her acting. It comes as no surprise nor does it bother me in the least that she finally made a decison to mention her sexual preference. She is to be commended for spending her entire life in the Hollywood scene and has avoided being hounded by the paparazzi and the usual Hollywood snoops! She is to be commended for growing up in this arena and coming out not only on top, but with all of her sanity completely intact! She has fiercely guarded her privacy and that of her children and partner and that is no small feat in Hollywood. She is an extremely talented and intelligent woman. Her sexuality has no bearing on her abilities as an actress or mother. I think she should be congratulated on her successful life. A lot of actors and actresses (and many non celebrities as well) should learn from Jodi Foster, maybe many of them would have been a lot happier, healthier and just as successful if they had learned by her example!
