Jodie Foster & Alexandra Hedison

It’s no secret that marking one’s place as one of Hollywood’s most iconic is no easy task. Even so, that hasn’t stopped people from trying. Beginning her career at three years old, Jodie Foster got her debut acting gig around three years later: it was for the 1968 sitcom Mayberry RFD. After finishing her studies with a Bachelor of Arts degree, Foster shifted her sights to more serious projects. Thanks to that, she later landed the opportunity to star in the now-beloved psychological horror film, The Silence of the Lambs.

Since then, while still active in the acting business, Foster has also tried her hand at behind-the-scenes work. Perhaps a portion of this move is thanks to her wife, Alexandra Hedison. Although she has acting experience, Hedison focuses most of her time behind the camera. Along with her directorial efforts, she is also a fine art photographer who has presented her work in more than a couple of exhibits.
