What has she made that's family friendly? Seriously, I'm asking. Saw Silence of the Lambs and The Accused. Even when she was a kid she was in a movie where she killed someone (I think it was an accident, but then they covered it up or something)

Broadway has the same problem. No one will go to an original musical anymore (maybe Hamilton will change this) so they keep cranking out musicals based on movies that already have soundtracks to work from, hoping something will stick, or bringing back the classics for one more run.

Movies are doing the same -- films with built-in audiences and retreads, reboots, rehashed versions of things we can rent on demand, if we wanted.

Made? Or been in?

She was in a couple of Disney movies - Huckleberry Finn (Tom Sawyer?), and the one with the mother-daughter body swap device (remade with Lohan-JLC).

Though it’s been a VERY long time, “Little Man Tate” impressed the heck out of me, and was an excellent movie.

JF both acted and directed the movie, and she was excellent at both jobs.

I had such a huge crush on her growing up (we’re the same age,) and still think that she’s a lovely woman. For the most part, she hasn’t said much politically over her career. There was the rambling “coming out” speech at the awards show that wasn’t a surprise to anyone. She was always very private about her personal life, and after that, she didn’t say much more.

For the most part, I happen to agree with her about most of today’s movies, and before seeing 3 movies in the last few months at the theaters (1 was free,) the last movie I saw in the theaters was “300,” about 11 years ago.

I do wish “artists” of all types would quit harping on politics. Jodi Foster has been circumspect, both in her politics and her personal life, for the most part. And she’s extremely talented, and I’ve enjoyed most of the movies I’ve seen her in.
