I'm Terry Gross.
My guest is Jodie Foster, and we're going to look back on her life and career, starting with her early days as a child actor and her Oscar-nominated performance in Taxi Driver when she was 12.
She recently received an Oscar nomination for the film Nyad and
an Emmy win for the latest season of the HBO series True Detective, and is now starring in a new French language film, A Private Life.
Along the way, Foster won many awards, including Oscars for the films The Accused and The Silence of the Lambs.
In a private life, she plays an American Freudian psychoanalyst in Paris, and with the exception of a few lines, she speaks French throughout the film.
When the film begins, everyone is angry with her, including her patients.
One of them accuses her of having wasted his time.
