A childhood star, Jodie, has done the gambit from Coppertone commercials to dealing with the insane cannibalistic psychiatrist Dr. Hannibal Lecter (Anthony Hopkins). Jodie had been director Jonathan Demme's second choice for the role of Clarice. He originally wanted Michelle Pfeiffer, who found the material too scary.
Jodie has turned down the sequel movie role of FBI, agent-in-training Clarice Starling in the Silence of the Lamb. But with her new adventure in Maylasia, in Fox’s 2000’s Anna and the King, the Daily Variety reports that Foster will earn a career-high $15 million to star with Chow Yun-Fat. The real-life story of a 19th-century English teacher whose sojourn in Siam inspired The King and I.
Jodie has nothing to worry about and now has a new son Charles whom she took on location for filming Anna and the King. This new millennium will not slow her down. Thanks is owed to Mary Cardenas's Jodie Foster site for the use of the photos.
