The Complicated Life of Jodie Foster

9:56 PM PDT 3/16/2011 by Stephen Galloway

With two Oscars, the actress-turned-director is about to debut her not- exactly-mainstream movie (“The Beaver”) with a not-exactly-perfect star (Mel Gibson). Now she opens up about the movie, shoot, and what she knew when: ‘On the last day of reshoots, it all came out.’

Jodie Foster is sick, really sick. Sick of being away from home for the past two months; sick of the grueling schedule she’s maintained in Paris on Roman Polanski’s Carnage; and physically, painfully sick from what she thinks is strep throat, which she’s been battling for much of the week.
