Actor Jodie Foster | Fresh Air

Описание: Jodie Foster was just 12 years old when she starred in Scorsese’s 1976 film Taxi Driver. "What luck to have been part of that, our golden age of cinema in the '70s," she says. She talks with Terry Gross about the 50th anniversary of that movie, getting mauled by a lion on a set, and why she kept her sexuality private for most of her career. Foster’s latest film, Vie Privée (A Private Life), is in French, which she speaks fluently.

This episode originally aired January 13, 2026.
