I admit I thought to myself "now that's an ass made for those jeans..." Other than that, she has kind of a "V" thing going on...just a little too reptilian and cold.

It's always been about their private lives. They "play" someone else, in public. The more successful they are, playing "the part", the more their audience develops a curiousity about the "man behind the mask". If nothing else, it helps an actor avoid being "type" cast. If their audience is convinced that the actor is the character, there is little curousity from their audience about the "real life" of the actor...

Everybodys a dreamer and everybodys a star,
And everybodys in movies, it doesnt matter who you are.
There are stars in every city,
In every house and on every street,....
....You can see all the stars as you walk down hollywood boulevard,
Some that you recognise, some that youve hardly even heard of.
People who worked and suffered and struggled for fame,
Some who succeeded and some who suffered in vain.
Everybodys a dreamer and everybodys a star
And everybodys in show biz, it doesnt matter who you are.
And those who are successful,
Be always on your guard,
Success walks hand in hand with failure
Along hollywood boulevard.
I wish my life was a non-stop hollywood movie show,
A fantasy world of celluloid villains and heroes,
Because celluloid heroes never feel any pain
And celluloid heroes never really die.

Dear Jodie,
There is a definite possibility that I will be killed in my attempt to get Reagan. It is for this very reason that I am writing you this letter now.
As you well know by now I love you very much. Over the past seven months I've left you dozens of poems, letters and love messages in the faint hope that you could develop an interest in me. Although we talked on the phone a couple of times I never had the nerve to simply approach you and introduce myself. Besides my shyness, I honestly did not wish to bother you with my constant presence. I know the many messages left at your door and in your mailbox were a nuisance, but I felt that it was the most painless way for me to express my love for you.
I feel very good about the fact that you at least know my name and know how I feel about you. And by hanging around your dormitory, I've come to realize that I'm the topic of more than a little conversation, however full of ridicule it may be. At least you know that I'll always love you.
Jodie, I would abandon this idea of getting Reagan in a second if I could only win your heart and live out the rest of my life with you, whether it be in total obscurity or whatever.
I will admit to you that the reason I'm going ahead with this attempt now is because I just cannot wait any longer to impress you. I've got to do something now to make you understand, in no uncertain terms, that I am doing all of this for your sake! By sacrificing my freedom and possibly my life, I hope to change your mind about me. This letter is being written only an hour before I leave for the Hilton Hotel. Jodie, I'm asking you to please look into your heart and at least give me the chance, with this historical deed, to gain your respect and love.
I love you forever,
John Hinckley
Hinckley's 3/10/1981 Note to Foster
Jodie,
GOODBYE! I love you six trillion times. DON'T YOU MAYBE LIKE ME A LITTLE BIT? (YOU MUST ADMIT IT I AM DIFFERENT).
It would make all the difference.
JOHN HINCKLEY

It is ironic, now that it is public that Foster is gay. She had no awareness of Hinckley or of his attraction to her, before he attempted to assassinate president Reagan, but afterwards, she did "own" what had happened; it became part of the public's perception of her.
What kind of a parent permits their thirteen year old daughter to portray the part of a thirteen year old prostitute in a Hollywood movie?
