Jodie Foster celebrates wedding anniversary and hand and footprint ceremony on same day

Published by skeptic

All smiles for Jodie Foster this Friday when she was honored outside the TCL Chinese theatre in Hollywood — five blocks from where she grew up — as part of the 2024 TCM Classic Film Festival. Foster, who most recently starred in “True Detective: Night Country,” has been polishing her natural talents for what seems like forever. Rising to stardom in the 1976 version of “Freaky Friday,” she was honored at the ceremony by her best friend, Jamie Lee Curtis, who acted in the 2003 reboot of the movie. Curtis listed particular curiosities about the actor that will soon appear alongside her name on Google. Highlighting that Foster loves holidays and caroling, hosts Christmas pageants in costume as Mary, wears foam cheese-heads in support of the Green Bay Packers, and compiles and sends out a researched list of her recommended candidates before elections. “She is also soft, and funny, and romantic, and beautiful,” Curtis said, punctuating each adjective with an adoring look at her friend and colleague. “And I could and would go on and on and on and on, but …

Jodie Foster Opens Up About 10-Year Wedding Anniversary and Her Legacy of ‘Normal’ Roles (Exclusive)

Published by Sam

It’s a great year to be Jodie Foster. Not only is the two-time Oscar-winning actress celebrating her 10th wedding anniversary with her wife, Alexandra Hedison, this year, but the 61-year-old has officially cemented her legacy with a hand and footprint ceremony during the TCM Classic Film Festival. On Friday, Foster left her mark in cement in the courtyard of the iconic TCL Chinese Theatre on Hollywood Boulevard during the 15th annual event.  “It’s just surreal to be on the Boulevard, you know? When I was kid, my mom said that if she found us on Hollywood Boulevard that we shouldn’t bother coming home ’cause that’s how dangerous it was in the ’70s and we grew up five blocks from here,” Foster tells ET’s Cassie DiLaura after the ceremony.  The Silence of the Lambs star was almost overwhelmed by the contrast between how her mother would caution her against walking the Boulevard streets and now having her hand and footprints displayed along the sidewalks.  While many celebrities opt to keep their shoes on when stepping into the wet cement, …

Alone in the Dark review – Jodie Comer and David Harbour can’t save this soporific horror | Games

Alone in the Dark review – Jodie Comer and David Harbour can’t save this soporific horror | Games

Published by skeptic

It’s fitting that this latest Alone in the Dark game should choose a generational curse for its premise, as the series that pioneered the survival horror genre hasn’t been good in about 30 years. Its various misadventures include the disastrous 2008 game of the same name, which among many strange design decisions included a button dedicated to blinking. Yet at least it was terrible in an interesting way, which is more than can be said for this dull and derivative reimagining of the game that started it all. Set in Louisiana in the early 20th century, Alone in the Dark sees Emily Hartwood (Jodie Comer) visiting her uncle Jeremy at the Derceto Manor convalescence home for mentally ill people after receiving a worrying letter from him. So worrying, in fact, that not only has she hired private detective Edward Carnby (David Harbour) to accompany her, but one of the first questions she asks Carnby is whether he’s brought a gun, as she expects he might have to “wave it around a bit” in order to …

Out like a soggy digestive goes Matt Lucas, and in comes new ingredient Alison Hammond, a lovely choux bun of a presenter, and the nicest Brummie on the telly (not a crowded field when you consider the rest are mostly Peaky Blinders). She’s not quite as fruity as Lucas – who is? – but her larger-than-life personality comes in handy now that it’s teamed up with Noel Fielding, who seems to be deflating into a worryingly pale, smaller-than-life persona faster than an undercooked soufflé. I don’t like to be personal, really I don’t, but his vampiric presence on the show is fairly off-putting these days.

‘The hardest thing is for a woman to say I was raped’: Jodie Comer on the Prima Facie effect | Books

Published by skeptic

After the opening night of the hit play Prima Facie in London in 2022, a young female producer came up to playwright Suzie Miller and said, “Loved the play. I’m one in three,” a line from the script referring to the number of women who are sexually assaulted in the UK. “She didn’t have to say ‘I was raped,’” Miller recalls. “It was this moment where I thought, ‘Oh, you can say that now.’” “The hardest thing is for a woman to say ‘I was raped,’” adds Jodie Comer, whose solo performance as the young defence lawyer forced to confront the failings of the legal system after she herself is sexually assaulted made the play a sensation. “Women struggle with those words. To see people come and voice ‘This happened to me’ is enormous.” This month Miller publishes a novelised version of the play, also called Prima Facie: it is dedicated to “all the women who comprise the ‘one in three’.” It is a sunny morning in London when we meet at the offices of Miller’s …

In what were her first comments on the split since it became public last year, the British actor said: “Sometimes things we really want to work just don’t end up working. And that’s OK.” “The most important thing is that you choose what’s healthiest for you and your family and definitely your children,” continued Jodie, who shares three-year-old daughter Juno Rose with her now ex. “There are so many different moments in our life where we look at ourselves and say, ‘Who am I and am I being true to that?’” she asked herself. “If the answer is no, then you have to make a move because I believe that there are visible scars from staying in places that are not good for us,” the star went on. “And they don’t just affect us, they affect everybody around us.” The White Noise actor seemed at peace with her and Joshua’s end, telling the Sunday Times: “I don’t think it’s a failure.
