Nobody really tried to out her did they?
shareI think she has always liked her male costars in her movies and I think she also has a son in real life. Lesbians are well known for being Manhaters and because she has always had good relationships with the men in her life it helped her avoid the Gay questions.
shareI remember seeing stories about her private life, but they were mostly in tabloid type magazines. I can't recall a specific article, though. It's been a few years. There must have been some stories about it, since people knew that she lived with a woman and later that they adopted together.
When it came to interviews, she just refused to talk about it. The same went for the whole situation with John Hinkley.
She's smart with a good agent and she probably made it clear that she doesn't do interviews hardly, is passionate about her privacy and if the agent messes this up, he or she is fired and it worked
shareHa. Outing. That seems so late 90s now.
Jodie Foster was smart. She played the game but not the red carpet game. Went about her work and let society loosen its puckered butthole about gays and work it out for themselves in time, by which time no one gave a shit.
Well stated. Foster has been a great talent for her entire career, she's terrific. It's nobody's business who she shares a mattress with.
She's always been sensibly guarded about personal things because too many fans are nosy and invasive.
Being an Oscar caliber actress used to mean something. It put you in an elite class where you didn't do hardball interviews. Now they grill anybody and everybody for the scoop. There's no respect.
shareAgreed.
Nicholson and Streep don't put up with that nonsense, I don't blame Foster for avoiding it either. What has she ever done but be a great actress and a lesbian on the down low. Let's all leave the lady alone, who cares?
After the Reagan assassination attempt nobody wanted to ask any questions for fear of being persecuted by the SS.
