Jodie Foster comes out... finally
The notoriously private Oscar-winning actress has acknowledged her lesbian partner in public for the first time

After guarding her private life fiercely for 15 years, Hollywood actress Jodie Foster has publicly acknowledged her lesbian partner.
The Oscar-winning actress thanked "my beautiful Cydney" after winning an award at the Women in Entertainment Power 100 breakfast in Los Angeles.
She went on to praise Cydney Bernard, saying the film producer "sticks with me through all the rotten and the bliss".
Despite more than a decade of speculation, questions over the paternity of her two sons and critics calling for her be “out and proud”, Foster has refused to discuss her sexuality.
The 44-year-old maintained her silence when, earlier this year, gay American magazine Out put a picture of her on its cover above the words “The glass closet – why the stars won’t come out and play.” Inside, it was argued “the stars aren’t willing to make the jump to being officially labelled queer and all that it represents in the business.”
Now that Foster has, reactions are mixed. On American website Gay.com, readers posted comments praising the actress for coming out, while others expressed anger that it was considered news.
“It is her life to live as she pleases. Why do so many gays worry about who is and who is not gay?” asked one reader
“Whether or not Jodie comes out is definitely her own decision, but she would provide an excellent positive role model to GLBT [gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender] people everywhere. I think that is why we get excited when someone comes out,” posted another.
Foster is one of only a few Hollywood actresses to have publicly acknowledged they are lesbian. Comedian Ellen de Generes made headlines when she came out in 1997, as did her partner Portia de Rossi when she was photographed kissing then girlfriend Francesca Gregorini in 2001.
Foster reportedly met Bernard on the set of Sommersby in 1993. The actress later gave birth to sons Charles, 9, and Kit, 6.
The actress found world-wide fame at 14, playing a prostitute opposite Robert De Niro in Taxi Driver before going on to star in Bugsy Malone, Freaky Friday, The Silence of the Lambs and Nell.
Her latest movie Nim’s Island is due for release in May next year.
If a migraine were a person, it’d be Jodie Foster.

LOL!
Two words: Jennifer Connelly
That’s a nice photo! The soft lighting was obviously from an on-camera fill box, I’d say a Larson 4X6 SoftBox shooting at 100 ws, and a snooted hair/backlight on the left at about 200 ws. that established the spectral highlights. The photographer knew what he was doing.
OH...yes....she’s beautiful. ;^)
Sweetheart or not, she always seems to have bad hair. The bed head look went out years ago
I might as well come out.
I am a lesbian, trapped in a mans body. You can’t know my pain. ;>)
I find Helen Hunt very plain looking. Tia Carrera! THERE is hot! Lucy Lu... YOWZA!
Lucy Lui? PUH-leez
“Nim’s Island” starring Jodie Foster and Gerard Butler...2008 release
“The story centers on Nim, (Abigail Breslin) a grade-school girl who lives with her scientist father Jack on a tropical isle.
Resourceful and adventurous, Nim is used to taking care of anything and everything, like charging her dad’s batteries and checking his e-mails with his laptop.
She’s also outgoing and open-minded, suggested by her friendships with the isle’s marine iguanas, turtles and sea lions.
One day, Jack’s boat becomes disabled, leaving Nim to fend for herself. Her only link to the outside world comes from e-mailing Alexandra Rover, (Jodie Foster) the author of the book Nim is currently reading.
As she and Alex correspond, they teach each other different life lessons and ultimately work together to fend off evil tourists looking to inhabit the island.”
