Jodie Foster is admired as an actress and a director. This biography builds a picture of her, through friends, family and the people who have influenced her from an early age. Foster has said that she never thought of herself as an actress until she made "The Accused" - for which she won her first Oscar - but she had already developed a respected reputation before. Foster is known to be likeable and well-balanced - at the same time she wields huge power in Hollywood. How has she attained this state, and how has she managed to maintain her privacy? This book also covers her much-discussed sexuality and her relationships with her family - particularly her mother, and her brother who sued her for "loss of earnings". It discusses the obsessive behaviour she incited in John Hinckley and its affect on her life, and also what her hopes and ambitions for the future are.
