“Twilight” star Stewart said she already decided Foster was her favorite actress before they worked together, after seeing Foster’s controversial performance as a teenage prostitute at the age of 12 in “Taxi Driver”.
Two-time Oscar victor Jodie Foster was awarded a star on Hollywood Boulevard’s Walk of Fame on Wednesday-and revealed she was banned from the glitzy thoroughfare as a child.
The veteran Hollywood identity will celebrate almost 50 years in the movie business, having shifted her focus from acting to directing from 2010.
The 53-year-old star has moved behind the camera in recent years and has directed the upcoming thriller Money Monster, starring George Clooney and Julia Roberts. “I dont know why that was important to me; it seems silly, but thats why I waited all these years”.
“I grew up blocks from Hollywood Boulevard and would cross it every single day of my life”, she said during her acceptance speech in Hollywood on Wednesday.
Kristen continued, “She did everything young”. She kicked Yale (University)’s a**.
“I was drawn to her before I met her, and trust me, she’s way cooler than me”, the 26-year-old laughed, as she noted Jodie was “a baller on every level”. I’ve learned that the meaningfulness comes from the actor. It takes a real commitment in order to get movies off the ground.
“The one thing about acting that’s true is it’s either too challenging for one human being to have to do or it’s just too boring for one human to have to endure”.
