The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane : Jodie Foster was already a great actress at an early age!

Jodie Foster was already a great actress at an early age!

Watch the film, for those who hasn't. Just WOW! She deserved all of the awards given to her in her career.

Re: Jodie Foster was already a great actress at an early age!

Agreed! This blew me away harder than Silence of the Lambs. Guess I been focusing on Anthony Hopkins more when I watched that.

The Jodie Foster Museum couldn't agree more :)

Re: Jodie Foster was already a great actress at an early age!

just watching it again now. she is simply amazing. just turned 13 an able to act like that. she obviously was a very, very smart kid and could control herself at 13. what I find amusing is a few times in the movie, the little girl comes out. I miss movies like this that just have that certain feel to it. a certain atmosphere that these 70's movies had. no special effects or explosions and not politically correct. just a good old fashioned creepy movie. you'd swear the acting job was somebody who was 23, not 13. maybe a tad wooden,but maybe that's because she had to be unemotional due to her being hurt from her parents deaths. but still, pretty darn good. shoot I thought she was good in courtship of eddies father even and she was like 8 in that. (shows you how old I am)

Re: Jodie Foster was already a great actress at an early age!

Agreed, I just watched the movie, she have always had great talent for acting. I also thought she did very well in that one episode of "Kung Fu" she appeared in 3 years earlier than this movie: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0623147/

Re: Jodie Foster was already a great actress at an early age!

That episode has not only an awesome guitar playing and singing JF but as Caine explains in the end 'Alethea' is Greek for truth and also Foster's real name. Even stranger coincidence she saves his character from the gallows, while in reality Carradine...well you know.


Re: Jodie Foster was already a great actress at an early age!

Good observation, I see you are a true fan of hers. Nice blog you got about her, and yeah lets not get into the Carradine incident :)

Re: Jodie Foster was already a great actress at an early age!

Indeed - this could well be the best acting she's ever done.

Re: Jodie Foster was already a great actress at an early age!

Some time in her teens she probably peaked, always with movies ahead of her times. A minor streetwalker years before Shields. Moi, fleur bleue three years before Little Darlings or La Boum came out..and so on. She even made contact decades before McMumble going interstellar.


Re: Jodie Foster was already a great actress at an early age!

exactly she's great in this film. every nuanced realistic and capable acting. she's her character. completely believable.
